I’m a therapist who believes healing happens when we feel safe enough to tell the truth — not just about what happened to us, but about who we’re becoming.

I work primarily with trauma and the many ways it shows up:
• anxiety that won’t settle
• relationship patterns that feel impossible to change
• emotional overwhelm or shutdown
• people‑pleasing or perfectionism
• feeling like life is happening to you, not with you

Trauma lives in the body, nervous system, mind, and relationships — so my work honours all of those layers.

I also support clients with ADHD, especially those who grew up misunderstood or learned to mask their needs. Whether you’re a child, teen, or adult, we explore both the challenges and the strengths that shape how you move through the world.

Because trauma affects the whole system, I also support parents, caregivers, and families. Together we look at patterns, roles, and unspoken rules, creating calmer, clearer ways of connecting that meet everyone’s needs.

I work with couples navigating conflict cycles, communication struggles, intimacy challenges, or the echoes of past trauma. My focus is helping partners understand the meaning beneath reactions so you can move from reactivity to repair.

My style is direct but warm, honest but compassionate. Clients often say they appreciate that I’m “real” — grounded, human, and able to bring humour when it helps. My integrated, holistic approach includes:
• Trauma‑informed therapy
• Somatic (body‑based) work
• Emotion‑focused approaches
• Attachment and relational frameworks
• Cognitive and behavioural tools when useful
• Nervous‑system education and regulation skills

I don’t believe healing is about “fixing” you — you were never broken. It’s about understanding how your mind and body have been protecting you, and learning new ways of living that support who you are now.

If you’re looking for a counsellor who is straightforward, compassionate, and willing to walk with you through the messy, brave work of healing, I’d love to connect.
