I operate from a strengths-based, non-pathologizing perspective, viewing mental health challenges as healthy responses to trauma or difficult experiences. I focus on present issues rather than delving extensively into the past, helping clients explore how early experiences shape current patterns, leading to meaningful change. I integrate nervous system regulation into my practice, recognizing its role in transforming thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Understanding our biology allows us to work effectively towards lasting change—it’s about biology, not mental weakness.

I have experience and enjoy supporting individuals who are facing:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• PTSD and/or C-PTSD (Complex PTSD)

• Codependency

• Self-criticism & low self-esteem

• Grief

• Difficulty being alone

• Shame

• Boundary setting

• Intimacy challenges (emotional, sexual, relational)

• LGBTQIA2S+ exploration and challenges

• Life transitions

• Corporate and work-related issues

I believe in our innate ability to heal ourselves given the right conditions, and therapy is a significant step towards creating those conditions. A life-long learner, I remain committed to ongoing training, supervision, and consultation. Drawing from over 25 years of personal development, my mid-life career transition into counseling complements a decade of experience in HR supporting leaders and teams, along with six years as an Executive and Life Coach.
