You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in recurring patterns or disconnected from yourself or the people closest to you. I work with adolescents, adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout, substance concerns and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative and evidence-informed. Together, we can understand what is happening, strengthen coping skills and relationships, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
As a Registered Social Worker, psychotherapist and Registered Nurse, I understand how emotional health, physical wellbeing, relationships, and life circumstances affect one another. I offer thoughtful, evidence-informed support tailored to your needs, goals and pace.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when difficulties have been present for a long time. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I offer a supportive space where you can feel understood, gain clarity, and begin moving forward with greater confidence.
