Whether you've experienced a loss, a setback, or a lingering sense that something in your life feels off, therapy can be a space to find clarity. Facing pain can feel overwhelming, but avoiding it often keeps us stuck in cycles of suffering. In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns and emotions that shape your experience, using curiosity and empathy to untangle what feels heavy. I’ll help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and uncover the roots of your struggles, fostering self-compassion and insight so you can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

The focus of my work is supporting people to discover, befriend, and transform old ways of being. Through exploring personal narratives, habitual responses, and the subconscious terrain, we work together to create fresh space and open to new ways of being. Sessions with me involve talk therapy with somatic exercises, Brainspotting, parts work and hypnotherapy woven in as is supportive and appropriate. I am warm and grounded, and keep the session energy flowing through active inquiry and deep listening. Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key, and so I regularly check in to ensure that this is your experience.

Seeking help requires vulnerability, and vulnerability is a sign of courage. Deciding to see a therapist is a big step toward well-being. Clients come to me for help with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction / addictive behaviours, relationship struggles, grief, and the difficult emotions that accompany major losses and life changes. If this resonates with you, I would be privileged to support you on this journey. I hold a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore any issues that may be troubling them.

Every one of us can encounter stormy weather as we sail across the ocean of life and feel overwhelmed with uncertainty, anguish, and sorrow. When you connect with me, I am committed to meeting you in the thick of the storm and working alongside you to move towards healing. My approach centers around building a safe compassionate relationship with you first. Within this relationship, we can work with your mind and body, exploring areas like the effects of trauma on our nervous system, how to regulate, and what it takes to live in harmony with your hopes and values. I primarily draw from Narrative Therapy, Somatic approaches, and ACT.
