Are you caught in cycles of anxious attachment, people-pleasing, or perfectionism? Struggling to communicate or connect with your partner, parent, or other loved ones? Are you navigating a big life transition? Maybe you are exploring your identity in new ways and connecting with parts of yourself that have been overlooked or constrained. Maybe you are navigating the lasting impacts of complex relational trauma. Together, we can explore the deeper stories shaping your relationships, untangle old patterns, make meaning of your experiences, and cultivate a greater sense of agency, ease, and connection.
I take a warm, curious, and collaborative approach, attuning to you, and offering space to explore the fullness of your experience. Using a trauma-informed integrative psychodynamic approach, I help you make sense of your past while building flexibility and self-trust in the present. In terms of couples therapy, I use the Developmental Model.
Making sure that you find the right therapist is of utmost importance. I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone or video consultation to see if we're a good fit. Feel free to send me an email with any questions, or to set up an initial call.

Through our work together, you'll begin to understand why certain patterns keep repeating, whether that's anxiety, relationship dynamics, or behavioural patterns that leave you feeling exhausted or disconnected. Making sense of how these patterns formed can help you move through past hurts and build new ways of thinking, relating, and responding that better support who you are today.

Research shows that your connection with your therapist is more important than the type of therapy they do. That said, I draw mainly from psychodynamic and narrative therapies, somatic therapy, DBT, CBT, and parts work, through a a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, harm-reductive, and person-centered framework,
