Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when dealing with anxiety, depression, or the impact of past trauma. If you're struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, addiction, or a variety of other challenges, I’m here to help. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences and develop strategies for healing and empowerment. With a professional history in trauma-focused and supportive roles, I have particular expertise in helping women who have experienced domestic abuse or interpersonal violence.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs. While my training is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I also draw from Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Person-Centred Therapy, and other modalities. We’ll explore your goals in a safe, non-judgmental space, creating a personalized, well-rounded experience.
The process of finding the right therapist can feel daunting, even for clients who have been in therapy. Whether looking for practical tools to manage life's challenges or seeking deeper self-understanding, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to have an initial conversation and schedule our first session.
