Looking for a safe, supportive space to move past what's keeping you stuck in life? We'll work collaboratively to break unhelpful patterns and rewrite limiting narratives. While we can't change the past, we can transform how it affects you today. Psychology sessions with me are holistic drawing from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and narrative therapy—grounded in trauma and attachment theory.
I am a Counselling and Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in the community and private practice providing mental health support to adults and late teens. I am passionate about working with people who are anxious or overwhelmed, experiencing relational conflict, difficulties managing ADHD or life stress, or have endured trauma and addiction.
I strive for the people I meet to feel completely comfortable sharing their authentic selves to support personal growth, change what's not working, and to be who they want to be. Feel free to check out my website for more information, and reach out if you have any further questions.

Prior to becoming a psychologist, I spent over a decade working with people with substance use and complex sociodemographic challenges. While this is not the work I predominantly do anymore, this experience allowed me to learn and work with the diversity of mental health and concerns in our society. While I don't disregard psychiatric labels, I work with people holistically beyond these.

I adopt an eclectic style of therapy in my practice. I am continuously learning new ways to practice and have received extensive training in many models of psychotherapy including traditional CBT through to less commonly used narrative and Gestalt approaches. Your first session(s) will explore what brings you to therapy and this will help guide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
