Change can be scary but even small changes can make a big difference. I offer you a safe space where change can happen at your own pace & where you can bring your problems, fears or pain to work through in a supportive environment. The addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, or any other issue you are facing can be the initial thing that brings you into therapy, but we won’t just put a band-aid on the symptom. We will get to the underlying root of the problem & heal it where it started. I use the word “we” because it is a collaborative venture, we work together to create change. (I work with both individuals & couples)

You deserve to be seen, heard, and validated on your unique journey of healing and growth. As a therapist, I am here to offer you a compassionate heart, and deep listening, guiding you toward discovering your authentic self and unleashing your inner strengths, enabling you to embrace life to its fullest. You don't have to face your challenges alone; therapy provides a safe space for you to heal and live your life fullest.

I deeply believe that the body knows what needs to be healed and holds the keys to that healing. Our systems, however, are so good at keeping us safe that we often can't access those keys alone. I use a range of tools to facilitate that healing, including conversation, meditation, visualization, mindfulness, IFS, AEDP, and sometimes energy work depending on the individual I am working with. I aim to be feminist, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, which means the client is always the expert on their own experience. We work collaboratively using a range of tools to find the right path forward for you.

Life can be confusing, frustrating, lonely, and painful. You may find yourself struggling with shame, fearfulness, sadness, anger, or even numbness - maybe it all snuck up on you, or maybe it came crashing down after a traumatic or hurtful event. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and without direction, finding a supportive, knowledgeable and safe psychologist is a great first step. In your search for one, I am happy to answer any questions you have while looking for a good fit.

I fundamentally believe that all human beings desire to feel connected, to belong, and to feel loved. However, throughout our lives we are sometimes led astray from this. Somewhere along the road we have become disconnected, both from each other, as well as from ourselves. My goal is to have the therapy room be a safe space to repair your relationship with yourself, as well as those around you. My experience has led me to develop a unique perspective that is at its core non-judgmental, person-centred and strengths-based.
