Does this sound like you?

  • You feel like your mind never stops, even when you’re exhausted.

  • You avoid situations because of worry or fear of judgment.

  • You notice tension, headaches, or other physical symptoms when you’re stressed.

  • You feel “stuck” in cycles of overthinking or perfectionism.

  • You’re going through a life change that feels harder than you expected.

  • You want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in yourself.

My Approach

A blended approach of creative, talk and somatic based therapy for anxiety, stress and health concerns

1:1 Therapy

For Anxiety, Stress, Health & Transitions


Life can feel overwhelming when worry, stress, or unexpected challenges take over. In our sessions together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space for you to slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and find practical ways forward. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, or health-related changes, you don’t have to face it alone.

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative process. In our work together, we’ll explore both your inner world and your real-life experiences, using a blend of creative, talk and somatic based therapies. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centered, relational and body-based framework.

​

I often integrate:

  • Art Therapy – to express what words can’t capture and access new insights

  • Mindfulness-Based Strategies – to reduce racing thoughts and increase self-awareness

  • Cognitive-Behavioural Techniques (CBT) – to challenge unhelpful thought patterns

  • Somatic Awareness – to connect with your body and release stored tension 
     

You set the pace. I’ll meet you where you are, whether you’re ready for deep emotional work or simply need tools to get through the week. My goal is for you to leave each session with a little more clarity, ease, and hope than when you arrived
