Life can throw a lot at you. Whether you're facing relational issues, grief, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck in old patterns or habits, you don’t have to do it alone. Having personally experienced these challenges, I bring a combination of professional insight and lived experience to our work together. My approach recognizes the profound impact of relationships on our lives, along with sociocultural factors gender, sexuality, race, and spiritual beliefs. My aim is to create a space where all parts of you and your experiences are welcome, honouring your story and strengths while also navigating life’s challenges.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I help clients with everything from practical daily tools to deeper, long-term change. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I use an integrative approach, blending multiple therapeutic frameworks to align with your specific needs and goals.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. My work is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, intersectional, sex-positive, neurodivergent-affirming, and 2SLGBTQ+ inclusive. I look forward to finding out how I can help you on your journey. If you’re curious, I invite you to book a free 30-minute consultation to see if this feels right for you.
