I've been working in the mental health industry for over a decade with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with parenting, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, life transitions, balance, trauma and other mental health concerns.
When life becomes overwhelming and turbulent, we can feel alone and isolated. I am here to weather the storm with you and help you find a place of solace and clarity. I take pride in helping clients see results by truly listening to you and your needs. Whether you’re hoping to process the stressors in your life, learn practical tools and strategies to overcome hardships, or discover your inner strengths and resiliency, I am here for you. I will work collaboratively with you to unpack the root of your problems, heal past wounds, and create healthier patterns of thinking, responding, and living.

There are many times when life becomes more than we are able to handle. Sometimes life breaks us and leaves us feeling lost and alone. Other moments we feel like we are stumbling along in the dark, searching for meaning and direction, or just wishing we felt less pain. Finding a way back can be easier if another person shares some of the journey. A genuine and safe therapeutic relationship can be the starting place for rediscovering inner resources, developing new coping skills, and rekindling hope.

I have expertise working with children, adolescents, couples and families.
My specialty is establishing genuine therapeutic relationships with children and adolescents. I enjoy meeting children and teens who are difficult to connect with, and appreciate their position. It is honoring when a child, teen or adult is trusting enough to establish an honest, therapeutic relationship with me.

I work with young adults/ adults, children and teens navigating chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, especially when stress, self-doubt, or big life changes start to take over.
I believe therapy should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Even when things feel messy, confusing, or stuck, I hold the belief that this is "figure-out-able" and you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we focus on building clarity, confidence, and practical skills that actually fit your life.

My practice currently focusses on Neurofeedback. Seeing a Neurofeedback therapist is a different kind of therapy experience. The main focus of your sessions is on improving your brain health and retraining your brain waves so that you’ll begin to feel better, sooner. Neurofeedback can help with a wide range of difficulties including those related to mental health and wellness, ADHD, ASD, learning struggles, disrupted sleep, mTBI/concussions, and long Covid. It is therapy with the brain in mind. Neurofeedback is a way of teaching the nervous system how to regulate itself, getting it 'unstuck' and more flexible and resilient.

Taking this significant step in your healing journey requires great courage, and I truly appreciate and admire your willingness to embrace it.
