Many of us can feel stuck, weighed down by stress, anxiety, past pain and overwhelm. I provide a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can explore your challenges, gain self-awareness, and develop the tools to move forward. Whether you're navigating grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply feeling lost, I blend open conversation with practical strategies to help you build resilience and regain clarity. You deserve to feel better, and with the right support, change is possible. Let’s work together to create a healthier, more fulfilling path forward.
I take a neuroscience-informed approach, helping clients understand how their brain and nervous system impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Using evidence-based techniques, I guide healing from past pain, stress, anxiety and self-sabotage. I integrate breathwork, meditation and somatic practices, regulating responses to stress and fostering resilience.
Taking the first step toward change is courageous. You don’t have to navigate this alone - having an objective, supportive space can make all the difference. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down and help you move toward a healthier headspace, where life feels lighter and more fulfilling.

At your pace, we'll navigate troubling emotions, uncovering what lies beneath the surface. As we explore the psyche, we can begin reshaping thinking patterns and emotional cycles using neuroscience-based techniques, cognitive reframing, somatic practices, and practical interventions in a tailored plan. Many clients start to no longer feel "broken" and can access feeling whole again.
