I offer holistic, depth-oriented counselling for adults and couples navigating emotional, relational, and developmental challenges across the lifespan. My approach is individualized, experiential, and collaborative—grounded in curiosity, care, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique needs and life experiences. My areas of practice include:
- Family of origin and adult attachment dynamics
- Depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
- Self-confidence
- Life transitions
- Relationship counselling
- Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
- Hormonal and reproductive health-related issues
- Psychospiritual and existential exploration
- Psychedelic integration and harm reduction
I often work with people who are drawn to emotion-focused, somatic, and depth-based therapies—those who are curious about their internal world, and who may be navigating the ways formative or unresolved life experiences continue to shape how they feel, think, and relate with others.
Together, we may explore how emotional and somatic awareness can become a resource for healing, and how longstanding personal and relational dynamics—whether rooted in family, culture, or belief systems—may be gently renegotiated. I support and encourage you in working through the layers of your life with attunement, authenticity, and warmth, and with an understanding that healing unfolds through safety and connection.
Whether you’re navigating a loss or transition, healing emotional wounds that affect intimacy and trust, or integrating new perspectives and insights, counselling is an invitation to cultivate a grounding and intentioned setting in which to do this courageous work—holding space for both the beauty and the vulnerability these times can bring.
