Hi, I’m excited to meet you! I am a consent-based and trauma-informed therapist, grounded in deep respect for each person's stories, strengths, and complexities. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative, creating space for you to show up fully. In addition to virtual and in-office, I will soon offer nature-based sessions in Ottawa. These outdoor sessions offer a grounding alternative to traditional therapy and can open new pathways to growth. I offer individual, couples, & family therapy. I understand that family can take many forms, and I’m interested in hearing about the people and relationships that matter in your life.
I support people in life transitions, advanced illness, grief and loss, parenting and family relationship challenges, identity exploration, anxiety, and depression. I bring an anti-oppressive and anti-racist lens, holding space for personal healing within the broader context of how systems of oppression impact our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
As a queer woman, I am passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and families, while welcoming people of all identities. My work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy, emphasizing curiosity, compassion, and meaning-making. I also incorporate experiential activities, offering creative ways to connect with your inner wisdom.
