Have you ever felt like you were too much and not enough at the same time? Maybe the world has told you that you're too sensitive. Or that you're making a big deal out of nothing. Maybe you're drowning in "shoulds." You're not alone in it, and you're not broken. We all need someone to walk beside us, remind us of our goodness, and point out things we may have never considered before. I believe every client possesses the innate wisdom and strength to grow, change and heal. Let me join you on your journey of wholeness, healing and autonomy as you connect with yourself and look inwardly with compassion and curiosity.
My therapeutic approach is predominantly humanistic-existential with a trauma-informed, feminist lens. I use this approach because it resonates the most with me and what I have experienced and observed: that we as humans are affected by oppressive systems as well as trauma that we have endured, which affects the way we live.
Using empathy, curiosity, metaphor and sometimes humour, my hope is that my relational, non-judgmental approach helps clients to safely explore emotions, beliefs and sensations as they gain insight. It is truly an honour to accompany others through times of transition, challenges and self-discovery, and to help them see their way through to the other side.

A lot of the work I do with clients centres around self-identity and the stories we've internalized about who we are. There is often a lot that we need to unlearn and heal in order to then come home to ourselves. During our sessions, you can expect me to be attuned to and curious about your experiences, and to offer perspectives that you may not have considered before.

I often integrate the types of therapy listed here to find the approach that best suits the client and what they are looking for. I love helping clients arrive at a place where they are able to unlearn the stories that have harmed them, and unearth all the parts of themselves so that they can live congruently and with understanding and self-compassion.
