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.

We all need to feel supported along our journey towards health and healing. Whether that’s finding company with the parts of ourselves that have become discarded and neglected over the years, or support in taking those first courageous steps towards living a life we truly and deeply yearn for and deserve. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and free from judgement. My work is deeply informed by the field of relational neuroscience, grounded in humanistic principles, and harnesses somatic based healing practices. Every part of you is welcome in this space of unconditional acceptance, non-judgement, and compassion.

In my practice, I specialize in helping women navigate challenging life transitions with compassion, care and deep emotional support. As a woman, do you sometimes find yourself feeling guilty about putting your own needs first? Maybe you notice being very critical of yourself. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, life changes, or overwhelming emotions like anxiety, anger, or shame. You might be asking yourself: “Who am I? Is this the life I want?” Life can feel really hard sometimes. I want you to know that you don’t have to deal with it alone.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).

My own journey through illness in my 20's woke me up to the value of our inner world. That a sense of peace and connection to ourselves can give us the strength to face challenging situations and loss. I learned that having a compassionate witness to see yourself through is very empowering and reassuring.

Are you high-functioning and competent on the outside, but a hot mess on the inside? Under your mask, do you secretly struggle with anxiety, not feeling good enough, poor boundaries, a sense of emptiness, and/or difficulties in your primary relationships? If so, isn't it time you cultivated a relationship with the REAL you, the one who has gotten lost underneath all of those long-standing negative emotional and relational patterns? I know you're still in there. And it would be an honor to help re-connect YOU with YOU, so that you can experience more ease, clarity, presence, emotional awareness, and authenticity in your life.

I know there are times when it feels as if you are sitting in a dark space, waiting for a glimpse of joy. You may be seeking it in your job, income, relationships, or a variety of other external sources; and yet, it seems unreachable. Growing up with several traumas and experiencing severe depression led me to seek my identity in a high profile title in society. As a lawyer with a Master’s degree, I was not happy. Then I faced the tragic loss of my beloved friend. This pain, shook my belief system: How could I live, despite life's difficulties? Life showed me that painful experiences will always open doors to new paths.
