Inspired by the enduring presence of the Eastern Hemlock and the sanctuary of a true haven, we support healing that is both gentle and deeply rooted.
Specializations
“You don’t need to have the right words. You can come exactly as you are.”
Trauma & PTSD
Whether your experiences were recent or long ago, trauma can leave you feeling on alert, shut down, or disconnected from yourself and others. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace—helping you feel safer in your body, rebuild trust in your inner world, and reconnect with a sense of steadiness.
ADHD & Neurodiversity-Affirming Support
I provide support that honours how your brain works rather than trying to change it. We’ll explore emotional regulation, identity, burnout, masking, and self-acceptance—while finding ways of living that feel aligned and sustainable.
​
Chronic Pain & Health Challenges
Living with pain or health issues can be exhausting and isolating. I offer a space to acknowledge the grief, frustration, and complexity that can come with these experiences, while building compassion, resilience, and supportive coping strategies.
​
Stress, Burnout & Overwhelm
If you’re used to being the one who holds it all together, you don’t have to do it alone here. We’ll work to soften self-pressure, explore boundaries, and rebuild your capacity to rest, feel, and breathe again.
Identity, Self-Esteem & Life Transitions
Changes—big or small—can stir up uncertainty, doubt, and questions of who you are becoming. I support you in reconnecting with your values, strengths, and sense of self so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
​
First Responders & Frontline Workers
The roles of first responders and frontline professionals often require you to move through crisis with composure, make split-second decisions, and hold steady for others—often at the expense of your own emotional and physical well-being. It can feel automatic to compartmentalize, keep going, or minimize what you’ve been through, even when the weight has been building for a long time.
​
You may notice:​
-
Trouble slowing down or resting
-
Emotional numbness or feeling “shut off”
-
Irritability or intense reactions to stress
-
Feeling constantly “on guard”
-
Difficulty trusting others with what you carry
In therapy, we create a space where you don’t have to explain the culture, justify your reactions, or reassure anyone that you’re strong. I meet you with respect and steadiness—without pressure to open up faster than feels right. Together, we work toward making room for your experiences, rebuilding connection to yourself, and creating a life that feels less like survival and more like living.

You have given a great deal. Here, you don’t have to hold it alone.
