Drawing on mindfulness, neuroscience, and practical tools, we help you work with your mind instead of against it—in plain language, at your pace.

Common themes in my work.
We all strive to be happy in this life — and we all face challenges, doubts, and setbacks along the way. My approach invites you to navigate life’s journey with mindfulness and self-compassion as your trusted companions. You are not alone in this. I will meet you where you are and can help you learn to adapt skilfully to life's challenges and to live more in line with your deepest values.

You might feel like your mind is caught in an endless loop of worry or weighed down by a heaviness that's hard to explain. Whether it's racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a constant sense of dread, or feelings of emptiness and disconnection, you're not alone. Anxiety can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming, but there is hope. Together, we can help you develop tools to navigate these challenging emotions and rediscover a sense of peace and possibility.
-
Perhaps the relentless pursuit of perfection leaves you feeling exhausted, anxious, and never quite good enough? Perfectionism often masquerades as high achievement but can rob us of joy, connection, and authentic self-expression. Together, we'll explore how to maintain high standards while developing self-compassion, finding balance, and embracing your inherent worth beyond achievements.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs that shake our foundation – career changes, relationship shifts, moves, or other major life events that leave us feeling ungrounded and uncertain. If you're struggling to find your footing during a significant life change, know that this discomfort is a natural part of transformation. I'll help you navigate this period of adjustment with mindful awareness, helping you honour your journey while building the resilience to embrace new beginnings.

Grief is as unique as the relationship we've lost, and there's no "right" way to experience it. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the disappearance of a dream you held dear, your pain deserves to be acknowledged. In our work together, you'll find a space where all your feelings are valid – the sadness, the anger, the confusion, and the moments of unexpected joy. We'll move at your pace, honouring your loss while gently exploring ways to carry your memories forward.
