I'm passionate about supporting your personal development, hand-in-hand with nature, in service of the earth.
Disconnection is a real threat to a meaningful life. And I see more and more people seeking meaning and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
I help people like you connect with themselves, with the people in their lives and with the world around them.
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life all over the globe. Using a somatic, nature-based approach, I know how to help you navigate disconnection and become an embodied, more connected human.
If you're someone who's feeling out of place in your world, or you're in a relationship that's struggling, I can help. We'll combine the best of therapy & coaching to bring about transformative, lasting change.

Approach Description: In our sessions, the focus is on self-leadership. What this means is that we work on nurturing a loving, mature inner adult—one who knows how to set boundaries, practice self-compassion, and navigate relationships with authenticity, accountability, and emotional balance. From this grounded place, your wise inner adult can offer safety, guidance, and support to those smaller, inner child parts of you that get triggered and upset, often causing chaos in your life. Together, we’ll help you find balance and harmony within yourself.
I bring together the best of therapy and coaching to help you create real, lasting change. My approach is inspired by a deep connection to the natural world—a lifelong love of nature that reminds me how important it is to hold on to awe and wonder, even as adults.
Using somatic (body-based) methods, I’ll help you reconnect with your inner strength and resources. This embodied approach creates a powerful mind-body connection, making it possible for all parts of you to work together toward sustainable change.
I also focus on helping you build a solid foundation of strength, so you can navigate life with greater balance and resilience. Together, we’ll explore what it means for you to feel grounded and fully present as an embodied adult—whether in your personal life, your relationships, or your work.

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here. If you’re looking for support, whether for yourself or your relationship, you're in the right place. I offer online therapy, online coaching, and specialize in somatic therapy and Gestalt therapy to help you move through life’s challenges with greater ease, clarity, and connection. Let me tell you a bit about what I do and how I can help.
Online Therapy for Individuals:
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and it’s hard to know where to turn. My online therapy sessions provide a warm, supportive space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, past trauma, low self-esteem, or a big life change, I’m here to help you make sense of it all and find your way forward.
As a somatic therapist, I believe your body holds so much wisdom. Together, we’ll work gently to reconnect with your body to release tension and uncover what’s been holding you back. This mind-body approach creates lasting change and can help you feel more grounded and resilient.
I also draw on Gestalt therapy, which focuses on the here and now—how you’re feeling, what you’re experiencing, and how your past might be influencing your present. This approach helps bring awareness to patterns that might no longer be serving you so you can start creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
And because this is online therapy, you can join from wherever you are, whether you’re curled up on your couch, at your desk, or somewhere in between.
Online Coaching for Growth and Purpose:
If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, or unsure of your next steps, online coaching might be just what you need. Coaching is all about helping you clarify your goals, break through obstacles, and take meaningful action.
I bring a unique perspective to coaching by incorporating somatic therapy into the process. This means we won’t just talk about what you want to do but also work on how you can fully embody the confidence and energy to make it happen. Whether it’s about your career, personal growth, or life balance, we'll create a plan that feels achievable and authentic to you.
Couples Therapy and Marriage Counselling:
Relationships can be tricky, even when there’s a lot of love. If you and your partner are feeling disconnected, stuck in the same arguments, or struggling to communicate, couples therapy can help.
My approach creates a supportive space for both of you to share your experiences without judgment.
We'll explore the dynamics and patterns that you play out together in your relationship. You'll learn tools to help improve communication, and deepen your connection.
Why Work with Me?
* Holistic Approach: As a somatic therapist, we work with all aspects of you - heart, mind and gut - to create real, lasting change.
* Practical Tools: My Gestalt therapy approach helps you understand patterns in your life and relationships, so you can create meaningful change in the present.
* Convenient and Flexible: With online therapy and coaching, you can fit sessions into your life wherever you are.
* A Warm, Judgment-Free Space: I know it can feel vulnerable to open up, and I’m here to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible.
