It is also often a significant contributing factor to anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and much more.
Welcome! As a therapist, I have the privilege of accompanying clients along their uniquely personal therapy journeys. My passion lies in providing a safe and judgement-free space for traditional counselling, and trauma processing via EMDR, IFS and DBR. The origin of unprocessed trauma isn't always immediately clear, yet it changes how we view ourselves and the world around us. It can keep us in old conditioning and unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving while also limiting our ability to truly experience and embrace the present moment...where clarity, joy, and love of new experiences and relationships happen.

I focus on helping people deal with intrusive thoughts related to many issues, like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), PTSD, and anxiety.
My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

I have experience working with anxiety/stress, depression, trauma, interpersonal challenges, and self-esteem.
I am inspired by the idea of supporting people on their journey to become the best version of themselves. With a background in Yoga, Holistic Health, and Counselling Psychology, I prioritize treating the entire person – mind, body and soul. I aim to cultivate a space where people come to learn, grow, feel supported, explore the good parts and the not-so-good parts of life, and ultimately feel connected to themselves and honour their individual needs. My desire to work as a therapist blossomed from my passion for connecting with others and holding compassion for another’s experience.

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
