Your spirits are low, you’re stressed, no one seems to understand what you’re going through, and the voice in your head can be unkind. Patterns and wounds that go back to childhood are still with you. Sometimes you can’t tell the difference between “rational” and “irrational” fear. You’re in protection mode, moving between fight, flight, and freeze. You’re finding it hard to cope and it’s not easy to make change. You are coming to therapy because you want to talk without holding back, to experience compassion, and to connect with your personal power. 

As a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I draw from almost 20 years experience in community work with youth and abused women. I adapt my strategies to your needs, and can help you to gain new skills in communication and calming your nervous system. My insight, feedback, and knowledge help to free you from old stories and imposed rules. Together we will process feelings, create more helpful thinking habits, and tell new stories of resistance and joy.

It is so hard to accept yourself with all your “flaws,” to make sense of what’s happened to you, and to know how to respond to collective pain and injustice. I can’t say I have all the answers, but I know that it’s all easier to navigate with help. If you’ve resonated with anything here, then feel free to reach out for a no-obligation consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
