You’re here because you’re ready to continue or kick-start your healing journey and you’re looking for someone to guide you to the depth of understanding your true self. You may be experiencing anxiety, panic, depressive episodes, anger, crying spells, intrusive thoughts, relationship issues. We'll use those feelings as information to find the path towards your innermost core, unravel unhelpful beliefs, thought patterns, perceptions and behaviours to build new pathways so that you can show up and shine your light from your authentic self truthfully, unapologetically, assertively with clarity and groundedness in this chaotic world.

I want you to feel safe, genuinely cared about and that you have my full support. As this kind of work is so personal, I offer a ten minute phone conversation at no charge so you can see if we would work well together. Facing life when it's hard can be overwhelming, painful and serious. So, if we get the chance, laughter when possible. Let's team up to get your life back.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. My passion is to help you feel more fulfilled, empowered, and present in your life. Life is hard, trauma is real, and inequality is systemic. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to feel how you feel, as you come to better understand your thoughts, experiences, and relationships. I believe we each possess unique inner strengths and resources to help us move through life and get out of our heads (and into the moment). My personal and ongoing experience with grief allows me to meet you 'where you are', at your own pace, as we co-develop strategies that work for you.
