What it's like to work with me
Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating. I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are, talk about what actually matters to you, and work together at a pace that feels manageable.
Gentle, but not passive
We can approach difficult things carefully without avoiding them. I’ll support you, ask questions, and help you notice patterns while respecting your limits.
Collaborative
I’m not here to tell you what your life, relationships, or identity should look like. We’ll figure out what feels meaningful and workable for you.
Flexible
Different people need different things from therapy. We can adapt our tools, strategies, pacing, and structure to fit your needs, including the way your brain does or doesn’t work.
Maybe you're here because...
You don’t need to have the right words for what’s going on before you come to counselling.
You’re overwhelmed or burned out
Keeping up with everyday life is taking more energy than it feels like it should.
The world wasn’t made with your brain in mind
ADHD, executive functioning, masking, overwhelm, or shame about “laziness” may be making things harder.
You’re stuck in the same patterns
You may even understand why they happen, but changing them is another matter.
Pain is taking up too much space in your life
Persistent pain can affect your mood, relationships, work, and sleep.
Relationships have gotten complicated
Conflict, trust, boundaries, intimacy, or changing relationship needs are weighing on you.
Something in your life has changed
You just know you’d like something to feel different.
You’re figuring out more about who you are
Your sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, relationship structure, or sense of self may be changing or becoming clearer.
Or nothing is obviously “wrong.”
