Relationship counselling for real humans — just like you.

You’re ready to get ‘unstuck’ from never-ending stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship conflict, and unmet needs. I help individuals and couples get there.

You might be here because life feels chaotic, complicated, and overwhelming at times. It makes sense that you want to find some relief.

I can help you improve communication, strengthen relationships, and set boundaries without burning bridges.

Relationships are a part of being human — we can’t live without them. But they can also be a big source of stress and conflict. Partners. Children. Parents or in-laws. Friends. Co-workers. They’re all around us and, sometimes, they can feel relentless.

You can have deeper, more meaningful relationships with the people you care about most — and you won’t have to sacrifice yourself to get there.

You’re looking for new and different ways to show up for the people in your life and keep your sanity while doing it. You don’t know where to start because, maybe, you don’t know how you got here.

We can find ways to meet your loved ones’ needs without sacrificing your own.

I know that this can feel like an impossible task. Often times, there doesn’t feel like enough time, space, or mental energy to meet anyone’s needs - let alone everyone’s (and forget about yourself).

Together, we will figure out what makes you tick — what keeps you, your life, and your family going, and how you need things to change so that they actually feel sustainable.

You’re having a really hard time asking for what you need (let alone want) — but the disappointment and resentment keeps building.

I will give you the tools to communicate more clearly and make your needs (and wants) known — and you’ll be more reliable in your relationships for it.

Having needs of your own can feel downright inconvenient and overwhelming at times - especially, if you’re used to putting others first. You might even catch yourself thinking or saying aloud:

“It would be easier if I didn’t need anything at all."

This state of being isn’t sustainable, and it’s really having an impact on all-things life and family. You might be worried about being seen as too ‘needy’ or too ‘sensitive’ — but I’m here to let you know that being ‘needy’ is to have needs and being ‘sensitive’ is to feel. And that makes you so, totally human.

How you communicate your hopes and needs is a different story. This is often where people get stuck (despite trying really, really hard). They begin to think that they’re asking for too much or asking the wrong person. This is where I come in.

I said it earlier, the dreaded B-word: boundaries. You might think that setting boundaries is a one-way ticket to relationship breakdown, conflict, and rejection. Perhaps, this is how your past relationships have played out. It can feel like a big risk to go there. So, often, we don’t. And then you become an exploding pop bottle — your unmet needs erupting all at once * cue relationship conflict, breakdown, and rejection * because you’re feeling unheard, unappreciated, and walked all over.

What if I told you that you can become the most reliable, consistent, and trustworthy human in your relationships — and it isn’t by being a “yes” person for the rest of your days. I promise.

Perhaps, you’re a perfectionist and a people-pleaser. You might be on the brink of burnout (or already there). Maybe, you’re beginning to think it’s you that’s the issue.

Together, we can start prioritizing your own self-care efforts without feeling selfish for doing so.

Maybe you’ve reached Expert Level at putting others’ wants and needs ahead of your own — except, you haven’t unlocked new levels of energy, productivity, or that coveted zest for life. Perhaps, you’ve been made to believe that self-care is selfish — that you are here to give, be of service, and have very few needs of your own along the way.

We will redefine what it means to be selfish: to take care of self. How you think about self-care will begin to change. And we’ll find really great ways to share this with the people in your life so that they get it too.

I can help you create more balance. You are deserving of rest, joy, fulfillment, and pleasure. Let’s find it.

Where I Can Help

Relationship challenges

  • For individuals, couples, and parents wanting to find more balance, communicate more openly and easily, reduce conflict, feel more understood and supported, and become better equipped to handle the what life brings your way.

Transition to parenthood

  • For moms, birthing people, and parents navigating this new and messy stage of life — because this is one the wildest experiences and you deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported through it.

Navigating complicated family dynamics

  • For people struggling to navigate difficult and dysfunctional family dynamics — because you might be used to problems getting swept under the rug and being left to deal with the emotional aftermath.

Anxiety, depression, and low mood

  • For everyday humans (like you) who’ve learned to over-function through deep discomfort — until you’re very much not functioning.

Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout

  • For everyday humans (like you) who’ve gotten really good at putting other people first — whether it feels good or not.

Our Work Together

I will give you the space to talk about the things in your life that are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled.

Together, we will:

  • Get a really clear picture of what’s going on for you - to make sense of how these struggles keep showing up again and again, despite your best efforts.

  • Explore the ‘why’ hiding behind the things that are feeling so, so hard — because they didn’t just pop out of thin air, there’s a reason that these pesky problems are hanging around.

  • Give you effective strategies to feel more confident in navigating the challenging stuff — together, we will finds ways to manage the unmanageable.

My job is to support you in the ways that you need. I will be checking in along the way to make sure that I am meeting your hopes, needs, and expectations — because I’m working for you, here.

While the things that bring you to therapy can be so challenging to live with (let alone fix), we can also enjoy our time together. Laughter and lightness are welcome, but I’ll read the room and take your lead with this.

Talking about your biggest challenges can feel so, totally uncomfortable. One of my biggest and best jobs is to help you feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in the discomfort. I’ve got you.
