The war changed everything.
Ripped from the warmth of my daily existence at the age of 5 and taken to the other side of the world. I was finally safe. Mom, dad and I were alive. How the rest of the family would survive was yet to be seen.
I felt like I was never going to get out of the darkness. I had been there for so long.
My internal world was in complete chaos and I was at its mercy. I went from being constantly assaulted by fear and anxiety in my childhood, to being buried by depression in my teens. It all came to ahead by the time I had my second child. By 30 I was at rock fucken bottom. I needed to get my shit together. I had enough.
That was 8 years ago. I live an amazing existence now. My mind and soul are at peace. I love myself and know exactly who I am. I am the best mother I can possibly be and my children are my proof. I am free of the cold dark cave of my mind that I called home for years.
I learned so much on my healing journey. The things I learned in my nursing degree took on so much more meaning. I have a visceral understanding of what it means to heal your emotional traumas by learning better ways of coping and being. I know what it’s like to go from one end of the mental health spectrum to the other. I am proof that with the right support and enough faith and desire, healing is not only possible but achievable.
Now, I’m here to help you.
My ultimate goal is to get you to the point where you feel in control of your self and emotions. Where you feel at peace, love and trust yourself, have clarity and confidence and are able to have meaningful relationships with those that matter most to you. These things can be really hard when your negative emotions and moods are all over the place and ones running the show.
My work is for you if you have lived any number of years and gotten to adulthood. You may be able to pin point to a particular event that changed everything or it could be a slow accumulation of smaller insults, that have you feeling mentally and emotionally drained, numb or dysregulated. You may just be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Regardless, you want things to change so you can finally have some peace, and feel like you’re in control of your life.
I do 1:1 online counselling sessions. Once you sign up to be a client, we will meet virtually and you will pick a place from which to start your healing journey.
My approach to mental health is solution and person-based. I believe mental health is an active process. We look at your particular situation and work on ways to improve how you experience the world.
We focus on a few key ideas:
– learning how your mind and body work and how to listen to and integrate the two,
– reprocessing past experiences,
– breaking or adjusting patterns that no longer serve you,
– learning new ways of showing up, and
– releasing what you no longer want for yourself.
Additionally, you get to decide if you would like to bring hypnotherapy into the mix. While it’s not a must to work with me, you may want to learn more about the benefits of hypnotherapy. It’s one of my favorite modalities because of the deeper and faster level of healing that it can achieve.

The next step is to set up a free 30min consultation session to determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
The right clinician can make all the difference when dealing with some tough topics.
It’s so important for your success and transformation that my approach, methods, and style are a good fit for you.
You’ve been stuck long enough and I’m here to help you move through your stuff.
