Individual Therapy for Women in Napanee and online.
Welcome!
You’ve spent years putting others first. You keep the peace, say “yes” when you mean “no,” and carry the weight of everyone else’s expectations. On the outside, you seem fine. But inside? You’re exhausted. You’re ready for something different.
I see you. And I want you to know—it doesn’t have to be this way.
Therapy for Women Ready to Step Out of People-Pleasing and Into Themselves
If you’re here, you might be wondering: Who am I, outside of what others need from me?
You might feel guilty when you set boundaries. You might worry that speaking up will push people away. Or maybe you’re so used to putting on a brave face that you’re not even sure what you feel anymore.
I specialize in helping women like you—women who are tired of the pressure to be “good,” “easy,” and “perfect.” Women who are ready to stop shrinking, start listening to themselves, and live life on their own terms.
I enjoy working with individuals striving to overcome people-pleasing, caretaking, and perfectionist tendencies to restore balance and feel more in control and confident in their lives. Together, we’ll explore how past and current experiences shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors today. By addressing these patterns at their core, we can work toward meaningful change and a greater sense of freedom and authenticity.
Here’s What’s Possible:
✔️ Saying no without guilt
✔️ Trusting yourself instead of second-guessing every decision
✔️ Feeling at home in your own life
✔️ Showing up as your full, unapologetic self
A Safe Space to Be You
I believe healing isn’t about fixing—it’s about becoming. Therapy with me isn’t about doing more or trying harder; it’s about unlearning the patterns that keep you stuck and reconnecting with the version of you that’s always been there.
If you’re ready to start putting yourself on the list, I’d love to support you.
Change is Possible
More than anything, you want to feel better, gain clarity, and improve your relationships. You’re ready for something to shift—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Therapy is a space to explore both your present and your past, uncovering how past experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and respond today. By getting to the root of these patterns, we can begin shifting them—freeing you to create a future that aligns with your authentic self and the life you truly want.
I don’t come into therapy sessions with a rigid agenda. Instead, our time together is guided by your goals and what feels most important to you. Using evidence-based approaches like AEDP and EMDR, we’ll work to shift perspectives, break old patterns, and gently stretch beyond your comfort zone—so you can experience meaningful, lasting growth.
The relationship we build together is at the heart of our work. I want you to feel safe, heard, and comfortable being yourself—without the need to edit your story or your experiences. Vulnerability can be difficult, and I truly understand that. I trust you to know what feels right for you to share, and when.
I want you to walk away from each session with something practical—whether it’s a new insight, a fresh perspective, or a tool you can use in your daily life. Small, intentional shifts add up to big, lasting change.
Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow
