I specialize in supporting adult clients living with persistent concussion symptoms, an often invisible and misunderstood condition. Using a blend of EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and practical tools like planning and pacing, I help clients manage symptoms, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self.

In addition to concussion recovery, I also work extensively with individuals experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and grief. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered in your healing process.

Please note, I currently have a waitlist for new clients.
