Are you deeply caring & highly sensitive? Exhausted from giving to all those around you? Lost or lacking direction. I help women who feel like this, break free of patterns that are keeping them stuck so they can find themselves, reclaim their time & energy and bring joy back into life again. I specialize in ‘the good girl syndrome’, divorce recovery & also grief. I use somatic and arts therapy techniques online, to guide clients and students to work with their nervous system & create safety within their body, so we can go to the root of their challenges, move suppressed emotions and heal.
I'm a divorcee and a recovering ‘good girl’ so when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist you'll get someone who truly understands where you're at and what it takes to move out of it. I currently offer: online 1:1 therapy to adults; & an 8week group coaching program for women to break free of the good girl syndrome called 'Free to Be Me'.
If you're ready to do this courageous, deeply rewarding work so that you can bring joy back into your life again, I would love to help you. To see if we're a fit for 1:1 online therapy book a free intro session via my website OR if you'd like to be part of the next run of 'Free to Be Me' please join the priority list on my website.

I use embodied processing (a somatic technique) to tap into the wisdom of your body to create a safe container to access the root of your issues & too allow the associated emotions to slowly surface and be processed. Arts therapy is used alongside this because of its gentleness, additional ability to bypass the mind and because it literally helps us to see where we're at and/or want to go,
