We put a lot on ourselves, we try to fit ourselves into boxes or stretch ourselves beyond our limits. Be the perfect person, child, student, sibling, friend, employee, partner, spouse, and the list goes on and on. Sound familiar? It's exhausting isn't it? We're not perfect (we can't be!), and not only that but the world is so complex and hard to deal with! Embracing our contradictions is part of what makes us beautifully human. Let me offer you a reprieve, a chance to unburden yourself and find solace with where you are on your journey through this chaotic world we have.

The path to healing is not linear and often it can be difficult to navigate alone. Whether you're experiencing anxious thoughts or feelings, difficulties in relationships, the impact of trauma or looking for support with ADHD, Autism or other neurodiversity, together we can build your healing journey that best supports your individual needs. I view the therapeutic relationship as a key component to change, and take a collaborative approach with clients to establish goals that are achievable, personally relevant, and meaningful.

I know first hand how becoming a parent changes you. For some, experiences of grief, loss and trauma shape our early parenting journey, and we might feel isolated, afraid, or even ashamed about the thoughts and feelings we are having. Parenting standards today encourage us to sacrifice everything for our children, and to do it all with a smile - so we suffer silently. My own struggles in parenting, including my lived reality of grief and traumatic loss bring me to this work - and allow me to deeply connect with other parents who are craving a place to bring all of their parenting experiences - the joyful, and the excruciating.
