Great to meet you!

I primarily work with women who are feeling emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or who no longer recognize who they used to be. Many women I work with grew up learning to prioritize others’ needs, manage everyone else’s emotions, and silence their own. Over time, this can lead to relationships that are never quite fulfilling and create a constant sense of self-doubt or exhaustion. I support clients with strengthening their confidence, building their self-worth and ability to trust themselves, and to be able to create relationships that feel safe with healthier emotional boundaries.

My approach to therapy

I’m easy going and supportive, yet direct and willing to challenge when needed. I create a space where my clients feel important, seen, and heard. My specialities are childhood trauma, anxiety, toxic relationships, and sexual trauma. I use EMDR, DBT, and CBT along with mindfulness to support you in your healing process.

What you can expect from me

Through our work together, you will learn to set emotional boundaries and develop awareness of your needs. You will feel more confident in saying "no" with less guilt. We'll also explore how early childhood experiences have impacted you and how to no longer have these experiences hold you back from becoming the person you've wanted to be.
