Stress and trauma affect the way in which we all think and behave. Our mind often gets stuck in this response and it is difficult to think and behave the way we want to. I work with how the mind, brain and body responds to stress and trauma. I work from a whole person perspective in ways we can improve everyday mood, emotional responses and the impact our personal distress has on relationships.

From the outside things look fine - but inside, it feels like you're running on stress, pressure, or self-doubt. Whether it's anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling like an imposter, I work with people who find themselves caught in overthinking and self-criticism cycles. My goal is to help you understand what's driving these pattens, so you can feel more calm, capable, and connected again.
I have a special interest in working with professionals, athletes, and high achievers who experience anxiety, obsessive tendencies or imposter feelings.

I am a registered clinical psychologist offering brief and long-term psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (16+), who not only wish to address specific mental health concerns, but also to deepen their self-understanding and make sense of their inner world.
As a therapist, I am warm, genuine, and curious. I work from a predominantly psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, and adopt a trauma-informed framework in my work. My belief is that change occurs through exploration and developing an in-depth understanding of your symptoms, rather than simply eliminating them.

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.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
