I am passionate about supporting individuals with building secure relationships with themselves and navigating relationships with others — whether they be platonic, familial, or romantic. Many of the individuals I work with are interested in both developing more self-awareness and integrating their new learnings into themselves and into their lives.

My clients tend to be individuals who are:

• Navigating relationship difficulties with friends, family or partners, such as stressful transitions, recent ruptures or challenging conflict patterns

• Seeking support for patterns of behaviour in relationships, such as: appeasement and fawning; shutting down; rumination and self-doubt; resentful compliance; blaming, shaming or attacking

• Wanting to process and unpack relational wounds from childhood, teen years or early adulthood

• Seeking to develop more secure attachment in relationships to others or to themselves

I use an integrative approach where I draw from parts work, attachment theory, the developmental model and somatic approaches. Where cognitive approaches could be helpful, I draw from CBT, ACT and DBT practices. I strive to create a deeply compassionate, soft landing where radical honesty, nuance and growth feel possible.

Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honoured to work with you.
