Being single & finding your person ❤️

This photo is a moment from many years ago, me in my little apartment, starting to feel safe, secure, and content as a single person again.

After a breakup in my late 20s that felt like a divorce, I remember how disorienting it was. People often said things like, "This just happens in your 20s" or "You'll find the right person one day." And while both can be true, what I really needed in that moment wasn't a silver lining, it was someone who could simply sit with me in my grief.

I was incredibly lucky to have a therapist who did exactly that. She didn't try to change my sadness or rush me through it. Instead, she helped me understand my waves of grief, gently guiding me as I began to build a life on the other side.

Years later, it's no surprise that some of my favourite clients to work with are people in their late 20s going through breakups or trying to find the right relationship for them. I know what it's like to feel lost there and I also know the quiet, powerful rebuilding that can come after.

Now, I feel deeply equipped to hold space for others in that same place: to offer kindness and compassion, and to gently challenge and motivate when it's needed. This work feels a little bit like magic, especially when you remember that our relationships are probably the biggest investments we ever make. They shape how we see ourselves and how we move through the world.

If you're in that tender place of navigating heartbreak or trying to understand what's next for you, l'd love to help.
