Many accomplished people carry private struggles beneath a composed exterior. You might be navigating relationship conflict, anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, unresolved trauma or grief. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, overwhelmed by expectations, or longing for a deeper sense of meaning. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore your experiences. My work centres on building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can untangle complex emotions, understand patterns, and gain insight supporting sustainable psychological change; making room for healing, clarity and emotional wellbeing.

Life can get away with us and may make it difficult to keep in touch with yourself (whoever that is, whatever that looks like) and that is why I value the concept of taking care of yourself/myself, be it spiritually (religion, nature, art, etc), physically (picnicking, hiking or gym), mentally (reading and doing puzzles) and emotionally (talking, drawing, music, etc). We live in a high pressured, and at times critical society which can make it difficult to navigate even the most "mundane" tasks. I believe that having a safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore various issues is necessary in tension release & self-discovery.

Welcome to my space! I hold a deep respect for people - their stories, the way their minds and brains work, and above all, the heart that carries them through life. Whether supporting individuals through burnout, career crossroads, or simply helping them find stability amidst life's chaos, I approach each client with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for their lived experience. I work with both adults and teenagers transitioning into adulthood. My counselling approach is human-centred and integrative—an approach that honours the whole person rather than just the problem. Psychology-informed. Coaching-inspired.

Feeling stuck, anxious, or emotionally drained after a difficult experience? Maybe you're carrying the weight of trauma, a brain injury, or a life change that's left you feeling disconnected from yourself. You might be going through the motions but not really feeling your life. Perhaps you've tried talking about it before and it didn't help — or the idea of sitting and reliving painful memories feels unbearable. You deserve support that works differently. A space where healing happens gently, creatively, and at your pace.

I see clients who are looking to heal through a holistic approach to mental wellness. The clients that I see are choosing to heal themselves and recreate themselves after divorce/breakups, co-dependency or abusive relationships. Some of my clients are doing the re-parenting in wellness program and finding direction and meaning again. They are building their self esteem as well as gaining deeper insight into who they are, why they have the patterns they have and how to replace them with healthier ones. Together we focus on breaking toxic cycles and rewriting your narrative.

I work with adults living with the lasting effects of childhood trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm — including those who feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from themselves, or repeating patterns in relationships and self-worth. Many feel they have lost their identity or never fully developed a sense of who they are. I also work with women who feel lost — through motherhood, divorce, or simply years of putting everyone else first. My clients want more than insight. They want emotional stability, practical tools, healthier coping, and a grounded sense of direction and purpose — working with both the mind and body.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
