Find Your Path to Peace
"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom." – Lao Tzu
You probably have had some negative experiences in your life or a not-so-great childhood and even though you're constantly working to push that stuff aside, it still creeps in to your work, your intimate relationships, or your family dynamics. You're tired of feeling anxious and overwhelmed and you know your ways of coping aren't sustainable, but you're not quite sure what needs fixing or where to start.
I'm here to help, listen, and work as a team to get you feeling more at ease.
I'm a trauma-informed therapist that takes a relational, affirming, and skills-based approach to treating anxious, professional women overworked, overwhelmed and over it.
​
I know you're sick of living like this. You can't seem to be happy or enjoy any moments without worry or anxiety taking over. You constantly feel guilty and wish you didn't 'should' yourself all the time. You feel like if you let your guard down for one moment things will fall apart, and you have to do it all yourself, of course, because that's how it's always been. It all falls on you.
There has to be another way. You start searching for answers, doom-scrolling through TikTok or diving into the depths of Google in a desperate desire to reassure yourself that you're normal. It doesn't have to be like this, does it?

From Trauma to No Drama:
Empowering You to Thrive in Love,
Life, and Self-Discovery
“At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."– Lao Tzu
...It doesn't. I've got you...

Therapy is not easy and I’ll never pretend that it is. You are digging up all the parts of your life that you have successfully managed to hide for a long time, dragging them out into the light of day, to be scrutinized. You will feel tired and start to wonder why you started, like when you clean out the fridge or start organizing your closet. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it feels like it’s never going to end.
You will feel sad, confused and angry – at yourself, at others, at me – but in the end, you will feel peace.
It may be a bumpy journey throughout which we’ll laugh, we’ll cry and we’ll curse the world, but we’ll do it together, and, for once, you won't feel like you're alone.

Hi, I'm
LCSW
Having lived my own journey of pain and healing (a work in progress), I fully understand what genuine support and a skilled therapist can do to turn things around for the better. I became a therapist to help others who want and need a change in their life. If you've ever felt broken, overwhelmed by doubt and uncertainty, or that life is out of your control, I can provide you with the guidance you need for relief.
No matter your experience, the goal is to heal.
I understand that coming into someone else’s space and opening yourself up can be daunting, but if the last few years have taught us anything, they have made it abundantly clear that access to therapy is not just needed, it’s essential. This is why I also offer online appointments. But whether we’re meeting in person or through a computer screen, I always make sure that our connection is my top priority.
The future may not be what you imagined, but if we work together, it will be spectacular.
