My aim is to offer a warm and steady presence, and a gentle invitation to be present with and curious about your inner world. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I tailor my approach based on what style each client is looking for. Sometimes that looks like building actionable ways to work with thoughts that feel sticky and challenging, or working on skills that can help us find a sense of steadiness through overwhelming emotion. Other times, you might want to explore the roots of your experiences, understand the impact of past wounds on your present self, or find ways to break old patterns.
We might get to know different parts of you, ones that have been hidden, protective or have left you feeling stuck, and use this understanding to guide you towards beliefs, connections and actions that are aligned with what you value most. Whatever is bringing you to counseling, we explore at your pace and as you choose to.
I hope to learn more about what healing and growth mean to you, and work together to co-create a path towards your goals. Finding a counsellor who feels like a good fit is so important. If you're curious to learn more about me or how I work, feel free to reach out. I offer free consultations to explore that together.

I work with folks on healing from experiences of trauma, exploring identity, working on the ways we show up in relationships, and navigating experiences of anxiety and burnout. During the first few sessions, we might start with actionable ways to build new coping skills. Over time, we seek to explore the roots of your experiences, at your pace and if you choose to.
