When you’ve spent years being strong, caring for others, or holding relationships together, you may reach a point where the ways you learned to cope no longer feel sustainable. You may feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or caught in painful patterns that keep repeating. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship distress, trauma and attachment wounds, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I support clients in understanding the emotional and relational patterns shaping their lives. I specialize in relationship concerns, trauma and attachment wounds, anxiety, grief, and life transitions, drawing from Emotionally Focused, psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches. You don’t need to arrive at therapy knowing exactly what is wrong or having the right words to explain it. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity.

My approach to counselling is warm, grounded, and compassionate, with a focus on mind-body awareness. I value collaboration and the therapeutic relationship. Together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, and the patterns held within your nervous system, creating space for greater self-awareness, connection, and calm.

My approach to therapy is a mixture of directive, exploratory, and supportive. Everyone has different needs, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach. Whether that involves shifting your ways of thinking, processing emotions, understanding your values, resolving inner conflicts, or making peace with past events, I will walk with you on your change journey.
