Are you open to new possibilities? In order to understand who you want to be, you have to know who you are first. Gain insight and awareness into your situation, and learn to extract the lessons from your past struggles to develop new ways of coping and managing the challenges in your life. From early on, people learn behaviors to protect themselves for survival — but what worked in the past may no longer be helpful today. When basic human needs aren’t met, the outcome is often depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, or even addiction.

Are you experiencing anxiety, hopelessness, stress, low self-esteem? Feeling less like you, indecisive, confused? Maybe you struggle people-pleasing, relationships, low mood, or depression? Together, we can address your stuck points using evidence-based methods. I embody Hygge & Co. by supporting you in embracing your vulnerabilities and appreciating your willingness to grow. Healing trauma, self-esteem, and tackling stress, and holding space for you to process. I am also trained in treating trauma and in the Gottman method. I am committed to focus on skill-building and actionable change with you.

Are you surviving rather than thriving? Going through the motions but not really feeling 'it'? You are not alone! Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, chronically anxious, depressed, unable to relax and enjoy life, or simply unclear about where to go or what to do next, there is hope! It is my goal and honour to work collaboratively with you, to support you in clarifying and creating the changes YOU are wanting to see in your life, as quickly and cost effectively as possible. I am consistently amazed by the courage and resilience of the human spirit to create and maintain change!

In my approach to counselling and therapy, I strive to offer a gentle, compassionate and comfortable space, honouring the courage and strength it takes to step into counselling. I aim to help people navigate the complexities of life by collaboratively exploring experiences together to help people gain a deeper understanding and awareness to reach their unique goals. I embrace a variety of approaches that centre on people’s resources, knowledge, and stories, while also recognizing how our lives are deeply embedded within environmental, societal and cultural contexts.

Please note I will be away from July 5th- September 3rd. To the outside world, you may appear to function well. But on the inside, you might be in a constant state of anxiety and discomfort. It can be frustrating and confusing when life looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel as good on the inside. You might find that you spiral into overwhelming worry and fear of losing control. You might have anxiety about having anxiety. You might feel stuck, and held back in life. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout.

For most people, starting therapy takes a lot of courage and strength. To make it easier, I try my best to provide compassion and acceptance in a safe, non-judgemental environment. My goal is to help people live better, more full lives; even if they are coping with anxiety or depression, addictions, relationship problems or major life challenges like bereavement, divorce, job loss or any other difficulties that life may present. I work from a trauma informed perspective. I am also a neurodivergent therapist who endeavours to provide an inclusive therapy practice which welcomes autistic and ADHD people and other neurodiversity.
