When did you last feel "light"? If you’re living with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, conflict and fear, it feels like you are always looking for ways to "get by", cope, and maybe lift some of the burden. Although your circumstances, experiences, and needs may differ, you are not alone. People who face these things often share a common desire- to feel lighter, not weighed down by what they have gone through, or are still going through. Whether by reconnecting with yourself, developing effective ways to manage your symptoms, or simply finding a safe space to rediscover your laughter, it is possible to find healing, peace, and even joy.
I am a warm, empathetic therapist who is dedicated to helping people heal from trauma and anxiety, and develop self-compassion. I work with my clients to create a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings & offer a holistic approach that focuses on improving mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
Whether you're struggling with past traumas, or simply looking to better understand yourself and your place in the world, I am here to help you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards a life worth living that is defined by growth and healing. The first step is hard, but so is what you've lived through. Reach out, and start your healing.

I am first a person-centred and trauma-and-violence-informed therapist, meaning we work together in the way that best supports YOUR healing. I use a combination of CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy, alongside mindfulness and somatic practices. I bring in A.R.T. when appropriate to help process emotions and traumas. Sessions are dynamic and work on emotional, psychological, and physical healing.
