I am a narrative trained therapist who believes in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. When dilemmas and obstacles grow big enough, they can come to dominate our lives, pulling us towards dark ideas and stories in which we can feel hopeless, lost, scared, and disconnected. It is my aim as a therapist to work with clients to identify the challenges in their lives and explore how to move into more spaces of joy and preferred ways of living.

Clients often come to me when they decide that survival is no longer enough. Whether it's past trauma, depression, anxiety, disconnection from self, lack of purpose, or lack of hope (etc). As humans, we all carry rocks in our proverbial backpacks. I am awestruck by the human capacity to survive and endure. But sometimes the weight that holds us down becomes so familiar that it is almost comforting. If you are reading this, you have found the courage to ask the question, "What if I allow myself to believe that I deserve better?" I love nothing more than helping clients explore what that might look like, and how to get there.

Does the pressure to live up to 'good vibes only' leave you wondering if there's something wrong with you? We live in a world where disconnection abounds and vulnerability is shamed. Life hands us pain and expects us to put on a smiling face. Therapy with me is an attempt to provide an alternative: a space of understanding, safety and non-judgement. I believe that humans make change while in relationships that support empowerment, therefore I place high value on our working relationship. Working with me will allow you to have a space where you're nurtured, challenged, and seen.

Welcome! Anxiety has become one of the most prominent mental health issues in the world. The fast-paced world that we live conditions many of us to believe that high anxiety levels are the norm and while healthy levels of stress can keep us motivated. Excessive and ongoing feelings of anxiety and worry can negatively impact both our health, and our ability to function at an optimal level. Often, these feelings stem from our past and appear in our present – negatively impacting our daily life.

When we find ourselves always struggling with unwanted thoughts and emotions, it can start to feel like we are trapped in a never-ending battle with ourselves. Intense emotions and persistent thoughts can take us on an unpleasant ride, leaving us exhausted and unable to attend to things that matter to us. We become critical of ourselves for not being "good enough", further isolating us from ourselves and others. In our therapy, you will be offered the space to explore and learn about the kind of life you want to live and how to use your strengths and resources to build that life.

It’s hard to feel confident and connected when you are feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed. I offer one-on-one counselling support for low self-esteem and mild to moderate anxiety and depression, especially when these are related to family and relationships. These challenges are often rooted in our early life experiences and ancestral histories, and I truly believe that gaining a deeper understanding and awareness of how these have impacted your inner world can help you develop greater self-compassion and connection to others so you can move forward with more confidence and ease in all areas of your life.

You have the capacity to heal. Good therapy with a qualified therapist will help you unlock what is already there, to build new skills, and to free yourself to live the life you dream of living.

Accepting New Clients - I support clients who are navigating internal conflict, nervous system dysregulation, or challenges with self-care, self-compassion or self-empowerment. Clients who may feel disconnected from their emotions and body, seeking relief from stress, trauma, or overwhelm. Client goals may include regulating their nervous system, building self-compassion, and finding a sustainable self-care routine. I support clients to feel more grounded, resolve inner conflict, and develop a deeper sense of trust in themselves, ultimately striving for greater balance and well-being.
