Helping You Step Into a Life That Feels True

You deserve a life that feels authentic, grounded, and fulfilling — not one shaped by others’ expectations, but one that reflects who you truly are. As a counsellor, I help people like you become more self-reflective, self-assured, and at peace with themselves. Together, we work toward a life that’s not just lived — but deeply felt, enjoyed, and embraced.

What If You Could Feel:

More connected to your inner voice
Confident in your decisions
Comfortable in your own skin
Excited about what’s ahead
Content with who you are, right now

This is possible. And it starts with a conversation.

Is This Right For Me?

Therapy isn’t just for crises — it’s for anyone who wants to live more intentionally, with more clarity, self-trust, and meaning.

You might be here because...

You feel like you’ve lost touch with yourself, your needs, or your sense of direction
You’re constantly second-guessing, overthinking, or putting others first
You’re carrying old stories or emotional patterns that don’t feel like you anymore
You’re navigating a big life transition — a relationship shift, career change, motherhood, or something harder to name
You’ve done some inner work before, but want to go deeper — with support that truly sees you

Or maybe you just have a quiet sense that there’s more to life than what you’re currently experiencing. More peace. More connection. More self-trust.

If any of this resonates, you're in the right place. You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting. You just need to be curious, open, and willing to explore.

The Deep Work That Changes Everything

This isn’t surface-level advice or quick fixes. It’s about digging deep — gently but honestly — into the parts of you that have been shaped by your past, your experiences, and the roles you’ve had to play. Together, we’ll rumble with discomfort when it arises, not to get stuck there, but to understand it. To get curious about how, when, and why certain patterns began — and whether they still serve you today.You might discover the beliefs that hold you back…Or realize the quiet strength you’ve carried all along. This is courageous work. And you won’t be doing it alone. Our sessions offer a supportive, therapeutic relationship — one that holds you when things feel hard, and celebrates you when you start seeing the shifts. The moments where you catch yourself responding differently. Feeling freer. Feeling more like you.This is where lasting change begins.

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it".

Helen Keller

FOCUS AREAS

Core Areas of Support

While every client is unique, the heart of my work often centres around the following (sometimes interconnected) areas. These may overlap or show up in different, complex, deeply human ways throughout our sessions — and that’s okay. We work at your pace, with care and curiosity. Wherever you are in your story, we can begin there.

COMMUNICATION AND SELF UNDERSTANDING

Many people come to therapy feeling unheard, misunderstood, or unsure how to express their needs — especially in environments where unbalanced power dynamics have played a role.

We work on:

Understanding yourself and others more clearly
Naming and challenging unfair or dismissive treatment
Developing assertiveness that’s grounded in compassion
Rebuilding your sense of confidence, value, and clarity in how you show up in the world

RELATIONSHIPS IN ALL FORMS

Whether it’s work, family, friendship, or intimacy, relationships shape our lives — and sometimes they challenge our sense of self.

We explore:

Power dynamics and how they play out in different roles
Building and maintaining healthy, fulfilling connections
Identifying repeating patterns that leave you feeling drained, dismissed, or stuck
Learning to set boundaries without guilt

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

Our earliest environments shape how we relate to ourselves and others — even decades later. No experience is too small or too big to bring into the room. What matters is the impact it’s had on your life.

Together we can gently explore and heal from:

Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
Neglect, instability, or feeling unseen in your family system
Divorce, blended families, or unpredictable caregiving
Shame, self-blame, or identity confusion that may linger today

ADULT TRAUMA

Experiences in adulthood can also leave deep marks — especially when trust, safety, or autonomy have been violated.

You might be processing:

Coercive control or emotionally abusive relationships
Physical, financial and other hallmark abuse found in dangerous relationships
Sexual assault or unwanted sexual experiences
Stalking or persistent violations of boundaries
The ongoing effects of living in survival mode

This work is done with care, attunement, and a strong emphasis on creating emotional safety.

BIG LIFE EVENTS AND SINGLE-INSTANCE TRAUMA

Sometimes one moment — an accident, a diagnosis, a loss, or a major life change — can shake your sense of stability or identity.

We’ll work on:

Processing the emotional shock of these experiences
Understanding their ongoing effects on your body, mind, and relationships
Finding grounding, meaning, and ways to move forward
