It’s SO HARD to speak up.
Will I ever love myself?
Ugh. I hate how I look.
I just can’t get it together.
I feel so guilty when I focus on myself!
Why does it feel like everyone else is coping better than me?
I can help you feel better.
Are you struggling with accepting and loving yourself?
Do you want to improve your body image?
Have you suffered childhood trauma and feel ready to work through it with a compassionate, emotionally-focused therapist?
Or maybe you feel stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage and perfectionism.
I can help you.
Women are complex.
We need to feel heard, understood and seen. That’s how I work.
I specialize in women’s issues and understand your struggles and challenges.
You don’t have to suffer in silence.
You may be feeling alone and isolated. Perhaps you feel stuck in a cycle of negative mindset and need help pulling yourself out.
Life has changed so much for us in the past few months, too.
I can help you cope with the fall-out of Covid-19.

treatment for women
Sometimes it feels like getting out of bed is just too hard. You’re feeling tired ALL. THE. TIME.
Do you need help developing tools that help you cope?
Ok, let’s work on this together.
You can’t even imagine how you’re going to get ready for work and then put in an entire day - it’s just too much!
On top of your daily struggle, you feel all alone and that nobody understands how you feel. Your energy level is at an all-time low and you don’t even have the motivation to attempt to talk to anyone - it's just too exhausting.
You feel like all the cards have been stacked against you and just need a small win.
EFIT is surprisingly effective at getting the to heart of issues and releasing the heaviness that’s holding you down. Together, we’ll kick-start your growth process and guide you through blocks as they arise.
You may be surprised.
EFIT has a tendency to help you find resolve and resolution faster than other types of therapy!
My goal is to help you on your way,
Not work together forever!
What can I help with?
I specialize in treating women with a multitude of issues.

Increasing your self-expression
Changing your thought patterns
Identifying cues to increase self-care
Removing any guilt and/or shame
