Welcome!
If you are looking for a gentle, compassionate, insightful space to support your healing and growth, you are in the right place.
I bring warmth, compassion, and a grounded presence to support you toward healing and transformation. First and foremost, I offer you a safe space to land where you can be seen and heard without judgment. In this trusting relational space, calm, clarity, and connection often ensue. From there, we will explore the areas of your life where things may feel stuck, including navigating past and present challenges, and work together to help you access the guidance and empowerment within you to support your therapeutic goals.
I believe in working from the inside out, helping you connect with your inner strength and guidance to foster the internal and external changes you seek. I create a nurturing, non-judgmental space for exploration where insight and understanding can grow. With a holistic and inclusive approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs and life experiences. Incorporating somatic, mindful, emotionally-focused, and parts-work therapies, I can support you in regulating your emotions, grounding in your body, calming your mind, and finding more ease in your heart. With a heart-centred, spiritually integrated approach, I support you in connecting with your personal beliefs and values to guide you along your healing and growth paths.
I bring over a decade of experience supporting clients in their healing journeys, including working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, ADHD, stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum wellbeing, parenthood, physical illness, eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns.
On a personal note, I have navigated many life transitions — most recently entering the transformative journey of motherhood — and have found somatic and relational therapy instrumental in navigating these transitions and accessing more love, trust, ease and joy. Having walked the therapeutic path myself, I am honoured to be a compassionate guide to walk beside you on your journey toward healing and transformation. You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can work towards the change you seek and open doors to new possibilities.
