Not accepting new clients

With over 20 years as a Registered Social Worker, I offer a supportive space for individuals ready to explore healing and reconnection. My work is rooted in a holistic, body-mind approach that honors the full complexity of your story. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences shape your present, and gently build awareness, resilience, and self-compassion.

I focus on nervous system healing, trauma recovery, and supporting those navigating stress, burnout, or self-worth challenges. This is a space to slow down, feel seen, and come home to yourself.

Note: As a licensed therapist, I cannot provide testimonials for therapy service. These outcomes are from clients who worked with me in my coaching programs, but can also be achievable through therapy too!

"I have 2 wins this week - yesterday I was able to drive from work with the radio on (the radio has added to my anxiety and panic for a long time) and I was also able to attend a mom's bingo night for a couple of hours."
