My Approach

Much of my work focuses on anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, nervous system overwhelm. As well as, healing from attachment wounds, difficult relationships, and painful experiences that continue to shape you long after they’ve happened. I’m especially proficient in connecting dots by helping you understand how earlier experiences influence how you see yourself, connect with others, set boundaries, people please, and respond when you feel rejected, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

I draw from Psychodynamic and Emotionally Focused Therapy and also Internal Family Systems principles. I help you gently explore your inner world and welcome all the different sides of who you are. By understanding your anxious, angry, or protective parts instead of fighting them, we can cultivate the deep self compassion needed for lasting healing. We might explore the emotions and attachment needs underneath a pattern, get curious about the parts of you that are trying to protect you, or look at how past experiences are influencing the way you relate to yourself and others today.

Most importantly, I want therapy with me to feel warm, genuine, and human. I want you to feel safe enough to be real, understood without judgment, and supported as we work toward feeling more grounded, connected, and genuinely yourself.

More About Me.... 

I'm a mom to three incredible daughters, married to my husband for 23 years, and the owner of a counselling practice that I truly love. When I'm not in the office, you'll usually find me enjoying a slow morning with a coffee on my deck, spending time with my family, antiquing, going for a walk, redecorating a corner of my home, trying a new restaurant, or heading to a musical or concert. And if I'm being honest? Some of my favourite days are the ones with absolutely no agenda…just staying in my pajamas, binge-watching a great show, and giving myself permission to slow down. It's a rhythm I'm continually learning to embrace, and one I encourage my clients to discover for themselves, too.
