Supporting individuals, couples, and families seeking to foster unity, stability, and deeply connected bonds in their lives. It's all too common for individuals to become entangled in cycles of shame and blame, especially within intimate relationships. Such cycles can often lead to feelings of isolation, lack of progress, and disconnection. Overcoming personal and interpersonal challenges can feel daunting. With my vast experience, I have helped clients in addressing diverse issues such as anger management, ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, assertiveness, grief, chronic conditions, and disabilities.

Welcoming a new baby can be both rewarding and challenging, no matter how experienced you are as a parent. If you are feeling overwhelmed, sad, or just not yourself, you may be experiencing the effects of post-partum mood disorder (depression, anxiety, OCD, etc.). Many individuals suffer in silence, worried that their issues are not big enough. As a mother of three, I know we can all use a bit more help and support at times (and a lot more self compassion!). With specialized training in perinatal mental health and birth trauma, as well as grief and loss, my role is to help you through this journey.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I have worked in both clinical and community settings with individuals, families, children, and youth from various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength of the people I have worked with.

At the heart of my practice lies a deep commitment to guiding individuals through the complexities of trauma, attachment, and relationship issues. There's nothing more rewarding to me than witnessing the transformative journey towards healing from these challenges. Clients often seek support for a range of struggles, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship breakdown. These burdens often stem from early traumatic experiences and ruptured attachment bonds with caregivers. Together, we will illuminate these hurdles, uncover your potential to navigate them and co-create new meanings for your life moving forward.
