I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, loss, burnout, substance use, and major life transitions. My approach helps people deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change. I also support parents who feel overwhelmed by their child’s emotions or behaviour, especially when their own stress or past trauma is triggered. Therapy helps make sense of these patterns, builds connection, and fosters confidence in responding with empathy and consistency—at home and in school settings.
I’ve worked across community, hospital, and private practice settings, offering support through life’s challenges with a trauma-informed and relational approach. Sessions provide a safe, reflective space to explore experiences, gain insight, and move toward lasting growth and wellbeing. I also provide cognitive, learning, and behavioural assessments.
