Philosophy & Vision
Helping you feel calm, clear, and in control.
Psychotherapy and Clinical hypnotherapy for professionals, individuals, and couples navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. With a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and client-centred approach.
I deal with PTSD, difficult memories, post-relationship stress, anxiety, inability to relax, and more...
I work with strong, capable people — those who seem to have it all together but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. And I also work with those who are just finding their strength. Wherever you are, you deserve support. You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out when you’re ready.
