Other Areas of Focus

In addition to my core areas of focus—trauma, anxiety, relationship disconnection, and prenatal through early parenting—I also work with clients who are exploring broader themes of growth, identity, and emotional wellbeing.

Other Areas of Focus

In addition to my core areas of focus — trauma, anxiety, relationship disconnection, and prenatal through early parenting — I also work with clients who are exploring broader themes of growth, identity, and emotional wellbeing.

Midlife Transitions and Change
Many clients come to counselling during midlife transitions, including perimenopause and menopause, shifting work or family roles, and those “who even am I right now?” moments. These years can bring both challenge and renewal, and sometimes a few lively disagreements at home, the kind that remind everyone that change is in the air. Together we look at what’s shifting — body, emotions, relationships — and find ways to steady yourself again through EMDR, nervous system regulation, and practical support for mood, sleep, and perspective.

Stress and Overwhelm
When everything feels like too much, it’s often your nervous system asking for care rather than criticism. We look at what’s driving the overload and build strategies to bring you back into balance in real, sustainable ways.

Boundaries and People-Pleasing
Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out; they’re about staying connected without losing yourself. Together we notice where old patterns still run the show and practice new ways of relating that feel both respectful and authentic.

Self-Esteem and Inner Criticism
That relentless inner critic often developed for a reason. We slow down enough to understand its purpose, then work toward a kinder internal dialogue and a sense of worth that doesn’t hinge on achievement or approval.

Loneliness and Disconnection
Feeling disconnected can come from many places — burnout, loss, or the protective habits we develop over time. For some, that distance has been there for as long as they can remember. In counselling, we pay attention to what gets in the way of closeness and begin to rebuild a felt sense of connection, both within yourself and with others. The counselling relationship offers a place to safely experience being seen and understood, perhaps in ways that haven’t felt possible before.

Grief and Loss
Grief can arise after any kind of ending, whether a death, a separation, or a change you didn’t choose. We make space for it to unfold at its own pace while also helping you find ways to move with it rather than feel consumed by it. Together we work gently toward understanding, meaning, and a sense of reorientation in your life.

Spiritual or Existential Exploration
At certain points, it’s natural to question what life means and how to align more fully with what feels deeply true. In therapy, we explore these questions not just through words but through experiences that help you connect with your own inner knowing, the part of you that recognizes when life begins to feel aligned again. Whether your beliefs are spiritual, secular, or still unfolding, this process can bring clarity and renewal.

Mind–Body Connection
Our emotions are not just mental events; they are stored in the body too. We pay attention to how your body responds and where it holds stress or emotion, using that awareness to help the body release and support overall regulation and wellbeing.

Chronic Stress and Tension
Chronic stress can quietly shape how you think, feel, and connect with others. In our work together, we notice what’s been carried for too long and support your system in releasing and gradually returning to balance.

Even if your concern doesn’t fit neatly into a single category, my approach adapts to meet you where you are. I integrate EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and nervous system awareness, but at its core, this work is about connection — a steady, grounded relationship that supports real and lasting change.
