Individual psychotherapy for highly sensitive people, aphantasia, pregnancy, parents, chronic pain & illness, burnout & overwhelm.
Maybe it never has. You pictured something different, and things don't quite feel right.
Maybe you’ve been to therapy or deep-dived online for answers, numerous times. You might also be a highly sensitive person, an empath who feels like you are drowning. You are a deep thinker and meaning maker. You have strong values. You struggle to control or feel your emotions, chronically overextend yourself, feel stuck, and experience overwhelm. You may also be in chronic pain or discomfort. You may be neurodiverse. This might look like people pleasing, goodism, overthinking, avoidance, low self-esteem, procrastination, over planning, or burnout. It’s common for this to cause difficulty in your relationships with friends and family.
You may feel like you don’t recognize yourself anymore.
I am also a highly sensitive person, who understands the struggle of thinking and feeling deeply in an over-the-top world. I focus on helping you process feelings and beliefs, find self-compassion and self-confidence, understand and meet your needs through a self-full lens, discover strengths, and create new habits that serve your values-based goals.
Using a you-centred and trauma-informed lens, I help my clients to make sense of their world and themselves. Safe self-exploration leads you to find space to flourish and grow into the person you wish to be. Along the way, just being begins to seem… softer, easier. Self-confidence, esteem and compassion appear. Boundaries make themselves obvious and become safeguards of wellbeing.
I know that feeling. There are so many metaphors we use to describe this feeling. Behind them is the knowledge that you cannot go on as it is (though you have been…) and something has to change. You do not know where or how to begin. The place to start is wherever you find yourself, with a simple conversation, a free short call. We’ll get a sense of each other, and decide together whether to work together, find a referral or other resources.
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be incredibly hard to prioritize your own well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, struggling with chronic pain, or constantly ruminating over worries, finding the time and energy to care for yourself may [...]
The Window of Tolerance is a widely used, easily understood metaphor first created by Dr. Dan Siegal, a renowned psychiatrist. It describes the optimal functional human state—a state where we can think our thoughts, feel our feelings, and take considered [...]
Many clients share a common experience: they’ve been given various tools and strategies by therapists or self-help resources, but then struggled to implement them successfully. They couldn’t begin, or they couldn’t keep it up. They didn’t feel like it, or [...]
Don’t stop reading after my next statement—it may challenge a strongly held belief, but understanding this concept could significantly benefit your mental health: I believe that most people are misusing the term “stress.” Are you “stressed out”? Are you “stressing” [...]
Why does something as natural as breathing seem so complicated? We are bombarded with instructions… Breathe from your belly. Try diaphragmatic breathing. Keep your shoulders still! Count your breaths. Practice 4-7-8 breathing. Embrace box breathing. Inhale, hold, exhale, hold… The [...]
The Nature of Persistent Pain Chronic pain is undeniably real pain, and yet it’s also a story that our brains are telling us about ourselves. Since there are already fantastic resources available for delving into the scientific intricacies of chronic [...]
