Currently accepting new clients (aged 18+). I support adults navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation from a perspective that honours healing as a whole-person process: body, mind, and spirit. My approach integrates trauma-focused modalities like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy with ACT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. Where appropriate, sessions can also incorporate body-based practices such as trauma-informed yoga, breathwork, energy work, and yoga nidra. Beyond individual work, I offer community-based programming for those looking to go deeper.

I offer space where people can feel seen, supported, and reconnected with themselves. I work with those who carry a lot, including people who often appear high-functioning while feeling overwhelmed or untethered beneath the surface. I meet clients where they are and foster space for reflection, clarity, and self-understanding to emerge. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to this work, especially in supporting trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, and life transitions. My style is intuitive, collaborative, and respectful, with room for nuance and the occasional laugh.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” —Anaïs Nin I am so glad that you found your way here!

We may lose sight of ourselves and our capacity for joy. I'm passionate about assisting adults and teens in overcoming daily challenges, healing from traumatic life experiences, and working towards creating a rich, full, and meaningful life.

Life is messy. That’s just the way things are. Sometimes, that mess is manageable—maybe even beautiful. But, as Dr. Seuss put it, sometimes it’s “so big and so deep and so tall” that it feels impossible to know where to start. This is especially true when the mess involves painful memories, overwhelming emotions, distorted thoughts, complicated relationships, or deeply ingrained beliefs and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you. If you're feeling overwhelmed by any of this, I’m here to help you sort through it.

Do you have a hard time dealing with your emotions? Do you struggle with body shame and disordered eating? Do you struggle with people pleasing and putting your needs aside? Then I might be the therapist for you!
I specialize in helping people navigate their difficult emotions. I also have extensive experience working with body shame and people pleasing tendencies.

CAF veterans and their families, especially those engaged with VAC, or those who medically released reach out not because of a crisis, but because something in their day‑to‑day coping starts to shift. You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable. Sometimes it’s anxiety, anger, or emotional numbness. Sometimes it's keeping it all together on the outside while carrying it silently underneath. You don’t have to do it alone.
I work with individuals —veterans, RCMP, and civilians alike—who are ready to process what’s weighing them down. As a former CAF member, I can also assist veterans navigating VAC, PCVRS, and reports.

Firstly, I am proud of you for making till here.
I work from the belief that every part of you- your emotions, your patterns, your past, and even the parts you may feel disconnected from is welcome here. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, because I don’t see you as broken. It’s about understanding, reconnecting, and creating space for meaningful change.
I also hold a broader perspective of healing: that we are not separate from one another, but part of a larger, interconnected whole. Our thoughts, emotions, and experiences are not isolated-they shape and are shaped by the world around us.

I am the owner of Equinox Therapeutic. I most enjoy providing services to individuals who feel, in some way, "stuck" but feel that somehow, someway, life MUST have something better in store for them! Whether it's because of traumatic experiences that you still carry the weight of, or the sense that your current coping mechanisms are no longer functional for you, I can help you untangle the web of your past or present...allowing you ultimately to emerge with a true understanding of who you are, and a sense of empowerment and potential to be who you want to be. 2SLGBTQ+ affirming, and all expressions of queerness are welcome!

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
