Helping you find your voice, reconnect to yourself, and heal the parts that have been carrying pain alone.

About

With over 15 years supporting adults, I work with all kinds of struggles people face, and I have a particular heart for young women who are working to find their voice and reconnect to who they really are. I offer compassionate, judgment-free counselling across a wide range of concerns, including body image and disordered eating, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, grief and loss, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship struggles.

A lot of the work I do is about helping you show yourself the same care you'd offer someone you love. So much of what brings people to therapy, whether it's self-criticism, perfectionism, shutting down, or feeling like too much, makes complete sense when we look at where it came from. I work gently with those younger parts of you that learned to protect themselves, and I try to slow things down so we can actually be with what's there rather than running from it.

I offer trauma-informed care grounded in the latest neuroscience and systems theory, and I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Coherence Therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, and Brene Brown's Shame Resilience Theory. Sessions are collaborative, and I tailor my approach to what you actually need. There are many ways to heal and grow, and I'm here to find the right path with you.

I welcome people of all races, religions, ideologies, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. Whether you're facing something new or something that keeps coming back, my goal is for all parts of you and your story to feel valued, respected, and heard. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
