Do you feel like your mind is running a different operating system than everyone else’s—and no one gave you the manual? Maybe you’re exhausted from masking, navigating relationships that don’t feel safe, or trying to meet expectations in a world that doesn’t seem built for you. Perhaps you’re the one everyone leans on, but quietly you’re burning out—disconnected from your creativity, your body, or your sense of ease.

 

If this resonates, I want you to know you make sense. I work with people who have rich inner lives but often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unseen. Whether you’re neurodivergent (or wondering if you might be), stuck in the cycle of people-pleasing, or facing relationship stress, I’ll meet you with curiosity, clarity, and care.

 

My practice is rooted in mindfulness, parts work, and building a strong therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore. As someone who has spent years practicing deep meditation and studying creative healing, I value working with clients who want to better understand the different “parts” of themselves—who long to feel more connected, expressed, and whole.

 

If you’re ready to shift out of survival mode and into a life that actually fits, I’d be honoured to walk that path with you.
