You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how.
As a highly-sensitive, anxiety prone type A overachiever myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to prioritize your mental health in today's hustle culture society. Having worked in a demanding corporate career for a decade prior to becoming a therapist, I specialize in helping type A anxious women tame their intellectualizing, overthinking brains.
I take a trauma informed approach to therapy, working with both the mind and the body. By uncovering the limiting beliefs and patterns of behaviour the keep them stuck, my clients begin to become more present in their lives, and develop the confidence to stop people pleasing, manage their big emotions, and become their best authentic selves.

The clients I tend to work with are just like me - type A, busy, high-achieving women who overthink, overanalyze, overplan, overexplain and "do it all". Often my clients feel a mixture of anxiety, depression, hyper-fixation, lack of focus, lack of motivation, and procrastination, sometimes all at once. It can feel confusing, but I promise - there's a pathway to clarity, presence and contentment.

My approach is as unique as my clients. There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of. Either way, the issues that need to be resolved will show up in our work together, and we will address them as they do. I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT approach to therapy.
