Heal shame.
Learn to love yourself.
My work with women aims to heal deeply held feelings and beliefs of shame so they can live a life full of love and connection, meaning and purpose.
“Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces.”
– Ann Voskamp
Is it possible the root of what you struggle with lies in a deep, secret fear that you might not be worthy, good enough or loveable?
Do you have a critical voice inside you relentlessly demanding perfection? Perhaps this voice criticizes you fiercely, or maybe it simply manifests as a horrible feeling which triggers you into different numbing behaviors.
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s likely you are dealing with shame and i’d love to help you heal.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Registered Social Worker, Registered Clinical Counsellor
I hold both a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Social Work, have taken a variety of training outside of academics, and have worked in multiple areas of mental health including with youth and families, women struggling with substance misuse, and in health care.
As corny as it sounds, my mission on this planet is love. I believe love begins inside each of us, then ripples out to the other relationships in our lives.
About My Practice
Pathways to healing.
There are many pathways to healing. The clinical modalities I am trained in are Internal Family systems (IFS), Somatic Processing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also believe healing can happen through creativity such as writing and music, and through different forms of movement such as yoga or dancing. Psychedelic integration is also a part of my practice.
Experiencing shame?
I work with women experiencing shame. Shame is the emotion of unworthiness, of “not good-enoughness.” Shame believes, on a deep, core level that we are somehow not loveable or that we are bad or wrong. Shame robs of us of sense of belonging and safety inside ourselves, and thus in our lives.
Will we be a good fit?
We will make a great fit if your core struggles involve feelings of shame and you have a longing for a deeper connection with yourself, your own passions, dreams, and creativity. There are so many different ways shame manifests in our life- from internal experiences of anxiety, self-criticism, and perfectionism to relationship struggles, body-based self-loathing, and as a block to trauma recovery.
