Can you relate to feeling overwhelmed by your responsibilities at work and home? Instead of waking up feeling refreshed do you feel drained or worried from the start? Maybe you’re having trouble falling or staying asleep, low appetite or overeating? Or maybe your never ending to do list leaves you feeling unmotivated and not knowing where to start. Perhaps you struggle with making decisions or sticking to the goals you set out for yourself only to feel defeated and frustrated by your efforts to a better version of yourself. Envisioning a brighter future can seem impossible when clouded by a never ending sea of negative thoughts.

Do you feel drained, exhausted, unseen, and unappreciated? Have you ever considered why the relationships in your life seem so uneven? Maybe you're like me and life has thrown you challenges you weren't prepared for leaving you feeling stuck, unsure, and repeating behaviors you don't like. You want to feel loved and valued; perhaps it's been a long time since anyone told you this or you have felt worthy. If I asked you what you love doing, you might say you don't know, you have forgotten or there isn't any space for your needs. Let me be the first to tell you you are loveable and important, and there is hope.

Accepting new clients! I am an interactive therapist. My years in acute care have given me a passion for treating trauma and particularly reproductive/perinatal mental health. Pregnancy and birth should be a time of joy, but sometimes instead it overturns dreams, disrupts relationships, and brings waves of grief, loss, confusion, and heartbreak. Whether your challenges are new or years in the making you don't want to feel like this any more - nor should you! I am a little irreverent, a lot empathetic, and ready to help you find your best self again.
