Are you navigating relationship challenges, or living with disability or chronic illness, or feeling constrained by societal expectations that were not built for you?
Here is what I need you to hear. The barriers and external expectations may be outside of you, while shame and the ways you respond to them can become internalized. My work is to help you become more aware of how you respond, recognize different perspectives, and develop a deeper understanding of your own experience. I offer an empathic, relational, consensual, and safe environment where we can explore your story and how it has shaped the way you understand yourself and the world around you.

We will address trauma and past injustices without blaming your own body. We will examine where your personal power has been constrained, overridden, or surrendered, and practice healthy assertiveness in your life and relationships. We will explore what you consent to, what you do not consent to, and how becoming more aware of your choices can support a stronger sense of agency. We can also explore how you want to define success, contribution, and joy on your terms rather than solely by the world’s expectations. I work with emerging and informed consent along the way, so you can remain aware of your choices and recognize yourself in the process.Together, we will explore the patterns that repeat in your relationships and in your own internal life. We will look at what lives beneath the surface, including unconscious influences that shape how you see yourself and how you move through the world. This is not about quick fixes or surface-level coping. It is about understanding the deeper currents that have guided you, often without your awareness, and gently bringing them into view so you have more choice.

This work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which means we go beneath the obvious. We look at your history, your attachments, your defenses, and your deepest longings. We take seriously what makes you unique. Your dreams, your fears, and your contradictions all have a place here. This is a space for honest reflection, not performance.If you are ready to understand yourself more fully, to explore the roots of your experiences rather than simply manage symptoms, I would be honoured to work with you.

Reach out. I offer sliding-scale and low-cost spots because this work should be accessible. We can find a rate that works for you.
