I take a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to explore your inner world with curiosity and care. I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, burnout, and emotional patterns that can feel hard to shift. I also work in a neuroaffirming way with people exploring their experiences of attention, energy, and regulation in a world that isn’t always built with difference in mind.
I have experience in addiction and recovery, exploring the emotional, relational, and protective patterns beneath behaviours-often tied to grief, trauma, or disconnection. I also support veterans and first responders, approaching this work with deep respect for the impact of high-stress environments and the survival strategies they develop.
Therapy with me tends to be spacious and conversational. I may offer structure and direction where helpful, while allowing room for things to unfold naturally. I believe that humour, lightness, and authenticity can sit alongside depth, creating a therapy experience that feels both genuine and supportive.
