I am passionate about teaming up with my clients to have their questions answered and work towards change. An assessment by a compassionate and skilled psychologist can offer incredible clarity and relief, along with guidance on how to move forward.

Sometimes life experiences - especially painful or overwhelming ones - can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you want to be living. You might notice anxiety, doubting your worth, difficulty trusting others, or other patterns repeating even though you are hoping for change. At times it can be hard to see a clear path forward. With curiosity and compassion, we can gently explore what you've been carrying, while paying attention to the wisdom of your body and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, connected to who you are, and able to move through life with greater authenticity, choice, and ease.

Welcome! I work best with clients who feel like their nervous system has a mind of its own. You might find that:
The pace of your emotions is intense: One moment you're ok and the next you feel flooded or completely shutdown.
Relationships fele like a tightrope walk: It's hard to trust others or feel safe when your internal "alarm system" is constantly going off.
Life feels like a chore: When you are spending all you energy just trying to stay regulated, there isn't much left for joy. Our goals together may include coming home to yourself, building a sense of connection with your body, healing connections, reclaiming joy.

What brings people to my practice is often the desire for something more intentional and connected. If something feels off in your relationship or in your life, we can work through it together to help you move forwards.
It's a big step to reach out for support and I know that sometimes it’s not one big thing. It’s the slow build of stress, distance, or feeling unlike yourself. Therapy offers a space to pause, make sense of what’s going on, and start feeling grounded again.

I practice psychoanalytic therapy, which seeks to illuminate how unconscious processes shape relationships, inner life, and experience of self: it is for those whose lives bear the scars of complex beginnings, with histories not easily told, yet deeply felt. The mind speaks in patterns, defences, and repetitions; with each therapeutic encounter, we arrive at a deeper understanding of these structures.
I work with people whose struggles centre on the fabric of personality itself, encompassing mood disturbance, anxiety, psychosis, disordered eating, and chronic illness.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of confronting our painful emotions and experiences from a place of safety, curiosity, and honesty. I work with individuals and couples. I also have a special interest in working with men.
