Heal - Grow - Connect - Expand through Counselling
Warmest Welcome - I am so glad you are here!
There are times when life can be overwhelming when we feel uneasy, stuck in our patterns or disconnected from ourselves. Challenges or difficult circumstances can drain the life force within us.
We can find meaning in our circumstances and transform challenges into growing experiences. Every single one of us holds an innate drive for wellness and resilience. With the right tools, challenges can be conquered regardless of how discouraged or lost we might feel. I am passionate about helping people feel unstuck and build trusting relationships with themselves through teaching about and exploring the Body and Mind connection.
I will help you to remember and embody your true authentic self and build self- esteem.
Know you are not alone in this.
Our relationship in counselling
is vital to creating a supportive space for you during therapy. You deserve a safe and supportive environment on your journey. Begin with a free 20-minute consultation to have all your questions answered, and we can find out if we're a good fit!
Do you struggle with:
- feeling anxious, panicky, or stressed
- performance anxiety
- having reoccurring negative thoughts
- experiencing exhaustion, insomnia, nightmares
- feeling hypervigilant and mistrusting
- stress regarding your family of origin
- life transition (job change, breakup, move)
- a lack of motivation and confidence
- an internal critical voice, shame and insecurities
- standing up for yourself and self - esteem
- feeling lonely
- have repeating behavioural patterns that are self-sabotaging or self-defeating
- attachment issues (avoidant, anxious or disorganized attachment)
Therapy can help finding calming and self-soothing strategies by listening to the body and understanding the underlying root causes for your struggles.
Even if you don't know why you are struggling, know it is okay to start in a place of uncertainty. I am here to guide you and find change.

Trauma-Informed Lense
My approach is Rooted in Relationship
I work mainly within the frameworks of Internal Family Systems and combine it with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Brainspotting, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
These are modailities I am trainied in however you are unique and we will find out what works best for you.
I derive from mindfulness practices, body-focused, attachment theory and cognitive behavioural techniques, and neuroscience to help you release involuntary emotional and physical reactions to stress and trauma.
My passion is to empower people to connect with themselves and become their biggest ally to create lasting changes.
I am committed to helping you understand your anxiety, concerns and sense of self more fully, witness your pain more compassionately, change your critical inner voice, and do the things that make you happy.
I hold an innate trust and warmth in my relationship with whomever I work, and am respectful of your values, spirituality, background, and lifestyle.
