Does life lately feel like this?

  • A state of constant anxiety that’s taken a toll on your body, emotional wellbeing and close relationships

  • A spiral of strong emotions that feels difficult to manage, let alone make sense of

  • You’re in survival mode, everything on the outside looks fine but inside you feel overwhelmed and drained 

  • Mental exhaustion has become your new norm, leaving you depleted and burned out

  • You’re stuck in the same patterns and not sure how to improve or move forward

  • Pains from your past that you worked hard to overcome keep creeping back up and preventing you from showing up as the best version of yourself.


Maybe you’re facing something that’s making your anxiety and stress feel more overwhelming than usual…

  • A major life change or a new season that’s hard to navigate

  • A loss of some sort that has weighed you down

  • Strained family relationships that have burdened you and created conflict and pain

  • Triggers that have brought old wounds and difficult memories back to the surface

Hi, I’m Nardine

I’m here to help you get back to feeling like YOU again.

I am passionate about helping women who feel burdened by anxiety, unresolved trauma and difficult family relationships, move forward with renewed strength and clarity.

Over the last two decades, I have supported many women in finding relief through therapy, using various approaches that blend short term, solution-focused tools with deeper work that gets to the root of the issues.

My clients often share that our work has transformed their current pains into strengths and allowed them to move from surviving to thriving. They walk away from therapy with a greater understanding of their emotions, needs and patterns. They feel equipped with the right tools to create real change.

Throughout this journey with me, you can count on finding a space that’s warm, honest and challenging, where you feel seen and supported.

How I Can Help?

I specialize in women’s therapy

  • Whether your pain comes from one difficult experience or years of unhealthy patterns, trauma can continue to shape how you feel and respond today. Therapy can help you heal from past wounds, break old cycles, gain emotionally stability and create safer, more fulfilling relationships.

  • If talk therapy hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for, EMDR offers a different approach. It goes beyond coping strategies, helping your brain process unresolved experiences and create root-level change so you can feel grounded, calmer and steadier.

  • Hormonal changes, shifting roles, and midlife can feel confusing and bring anxiety, mood changes, and emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you make sense of what’s happening in your body and mind, build coping tools and feel grounded during this stage of life.

  • Stressful family relationships can feel isolating, emotionally draining and overwhelming. Learn how to resolve conflict, set healthy boundaries and change unhealthy patterns, so you can rebuild connection and experience peace in your relationships.
