Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout? Do you wish for more confidence and ease in daily life, or need support to navigate a difficult life change or relationship issue? I offer a compassionate space where respect and understanding guide us toward uncovering a more fulfilling life centered on your authentic self. With a background in conflict resolution, career development, and intercultural skills, I bring a holistic, trauma-informed perspective to my work. Together, we’ll explore solutions from multiple angles to support your unique needs.

At SCS, my goal is to help my clients harmonize their minds, heal their inner selves, and ultimately, transform their lives.

I offer a trauma-informed, strength-based approach focused on your goals. As a trained EMDR therapist, I integrate polyvagal theory, DBT, parts work, and psychoeducation to help you manage PTSD, ADHD, workplace issues, or relationship dynamics. I specialize in supporting first responders and others in building resilience and finding balance in their lives.

I know reaching out for support can be challenging, and I commend you for taking this first, courageous step. If you're ready to deepen your relationship with yourself and others and to approach life’s stressors with resilience, I’m here to help. It would be an honour to walk alongside you on this journey toward greater balance and fulfillment.
