I work with women who are trying to find their footing after a rupture in trust.
When the person you relied on no longer feels steady,
it can be hard to make sense of what’s happening - inside you and in your relationship.My work focuses on supporting you through the impact of betrayal -
whether that’s infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviours (including pornography or sex addiction), or a deep breakdown in trust.Betrayal doesn’t just affect the relationship.
It has a way of disrupting your sense of safety, your identity, and the way you move through your day - your thinking, your decisions, your roles, and your connection to yourself.Many women describe feeling confused, on edge, isolated, or no longer like themselves.
I meet you where you are… whether you’re staying, leaving, or unsure
and offer a structured, supportive space to begin rebuilding clarity, self-trust,
and a way forward that feels like your own.
My approach is grounded in Occupational Therapy, with over 13 years’ experience in adult mental health,
and further training in partner betrayal trauma.
I’m a Registered Occupational Therapist, an APSATS Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS),
and have completed Disclosure Guide training through Kintsugi Recovery Partners (Dan Drake & Dr Janice Caudill).
What this means in practice is that we don’t just talk about what’s happened -
we look at how it’s affecting your ability to live your life.
Your capacity to think clearly.
To make decisions.
To stay present in your roles.
To feel connected to yourself.
A little about this work
How I approach this work
Together, we begin by making sense of what you’re carrying
at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Sometimes that looks like sitting with the thoughts that won’t switch off,
and finding a way to create a bit of space from them.
Sometimes it’s noticing how your body is responding;
whether things feel heightened, overwhelming, or shut down
and finding ways to support that.
Sometimes it’s understanding how this is impacting your relationships, your work, or your parenting,
and what might help things feel more doable.
My work is informed by approaches including the APSATS Partner Trauma Model, narrative therapy,
Internal Family Systems-informed work, and somatic and sensory-based approaches.
These aren’t applied in a fixed way.
They’re used thoughtfully; depending on what you need,
what feels accessible and what will actually support you in your day-to-day life.
A bit about me
I’m a Registered Occupational Therapist and an APSATS Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS).
My work in adult mental health has spanned acute psychiatric inpatient settings, community mental health rehabilitation programs, care coordination, and leadership roles.
Across these spaces, I’ve supported people through periods of crisis, uncertainty, and rebuilding -
walking alongside them as they begin to reconnect with themselves and their lives.
Over time, my practice has become more focused on supporting women navigating betrayal and relational trauma,
where the impact is often complex, layered, and not always well understood.
I’ve undertaken additional training in partner betrayal trauma and continue to deepen my work through ongoing professional development in this area.
Outside of my professional role, I’m a mum of two and someone who tends to have more ideas than time.
My days are full in the way many women’s are: family, work, and everything in between -
and I understand what it’s like to hold a lot while still needing to show up.
I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend,
and a collector of herbal teas, good books, and more creative projects than I’ll probably ever finish.
Nature is where I find my way back to myself.
Even if on busy days it’s just a small pause outside with the sun on my face and my feet on the grass.
I value work that feels real, grounded, and meaningful
and that’s something I try to bring into the way I support the women I work with.
