A person’s intimate partner can be one of their greatest sources for pleasure, security, and meaning in life. In such relationships it is NOT normal (or acceptable) to feel isolated, controlled, or demeaned. If this is your experience, I can help. My approach strikes a balance between processing betrayals and regrettable incidents from the past, and ritualising effective practices for building trust, friendship, understanding, and intimacy in the present. I start with a 90-minute assessment, give practical and straight-forward direction, and allow space for each person’s story to unfold.

Are you looking for support with anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship issues, trauma, or just becoming a better version of yourself? Know that you are not alone. I believe that life has a way of making us feel lost, we lose touch with our inner compass, making it difficult to navigate relationships or to tap into joy. You shouldn't have to take this on alone though, which is why it is my goal to come alongside you so we can wade the complexity of life together. I know with the right support life doesn't have to feel so "blah". If you are ready to dig deep, you are in the right place!

Hi. I’m a huge fan of conversations over a warm cup of something. It’s as if holding that cozy mug helps you feel less vulnerable. I’m also a huge fan of how those conversations tend to change lives and build hope for the future. Whether you’re struggling in how you see yourself, in your relationships with others, or simply looking to understand who you are in this world, the conversation to improve any and all relationships is worth it. Our greatest discoveries about ourselves tend to come out of the tensions we have with others. Take the time. Do the work. Become who you want to be.

Living with ADHD is so exhausting! You walk around everyday trying to escape the hamster wheel that just won't stop spinning. And worst, you have to mask around others just to appear "normal". You are drowning in even the simplest of tasks; living out of a laundry basket of unfolded clothes with day three of unwashed hair and did you even eat today? Life feels like chaos all the time! Did I mention the focus and time? Your probably even reading this after doom scrolling for the past three hours. But don't beat yourself up because of it. I'm Neurodivergent too; and I understand! Life doesn’t have to fit together perfectly like Lego!
