Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do; there are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground (Rumi) ..... Therapy with me is anything but traditional. I don’t do one-size-fits-all solutions, stale conversations, it isn’t about checking boxes or following a script—it’s about creating something that works for you. I approach each session with curiosity, creativity, and a commitment to thinking outside the box. I’ll help you dig deep, get real, and discover tools that actually work for your life. It's therapy that’s bold, creative, and focused on helping you step into the version of yourself you’ve been waiting for.
Everyday patients grace us with their secrets, often never shared before. Receiving such secrets is a privilege given to very few. When we hold space for someone, we bear witness to them, their stories, and their pain. We serve as an important audience member, sometimes a coach, sometimes a warm shoulder for comfort. We are cradlers of secrets.
There’s a heavy focus on diagnoses and medications—Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ASD, Addiction, Bipolar… The lists of symptoms tied to our behaviours and emotions can feel endless, exhausting, and completely overwhelming. But you don’t have to feel trapped by labels or stuck in this cycle. Let me support you in finding a way forward.
