My clients tend to be people who march to the beat of their own drum. They know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, and some might go as far as to consider themselves “black sheep” or even outcasts. My approach to counselling involves finding and appreciating your unique identity. I love helping people embrace their most authentic selves!

Perhaps you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in the same relationship patterns, or disconnected from the people around you. You may be struggling with self-esteem, loneliness, intimacy, grief, or an important life transition. Or perhaps nothing is "wrong," but you find yourself asking deeper questions about who you are, what you want, and how you can create a more meaningful life.
Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and better understand yourself. Together, we can explore the emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you want.

Being authentic means that you can live according to what you care about and do what you are good at. It involves knowing yourself, recognizing pressures to be a certain way (from inside and outside), and acting in a way that is consistent with your values.
When you can't be authentic it can lead to feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or avoidant. This can result from messaging and roles put on you growing up, from a traumatic experience, being in relationships where you feel pulled to be a certain way, not being validated, or not having had the opportunity to figure out who you are.

My ideal client is a neurodivergent individual (or any individual) navigating the exhaustion of masking, unmet needs, and the weight of being misunderstood. They often experience anxiety, burnout, or disconnection from themselves and others. They may struggle with unhelpful thought patterns, emotional regulation, and relationships impacted by societal pressures. They want clarity, self-acceptance, and tools to meet their needs without shame. Ultimately, they seek to create meaning, live authentically, and reclaim their agency.

I am deeply committed to building authentic and collaborative relationships with clients. My work is largely informed by Person-Centered Therapy which is grounded in authentic, accepting, and empathic therapeutic engagement. I tailor my approach to meeting clients’ specific needs and enjoy incorporating expressive arts therapies, mindfulness, and somatic practices into therapy sessions when clients choose to. My training in multicultural counselling and social justice has also informed my passion for providing inclusive, safe, and individualized care for clients of all backgrounds.

What if you could finally feel lighter, calmer, and more confident in your own life and relationships? I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, chronic stress, anger, relationship difficulties, and family challenges. Many of my clients feel weighed down by overwhelming emotions or repeating patterns that keep them stuck. Together, we gently uncover what’s really going on and create meaningful, lasting change. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and other tailored methods, we’ll work in a way that fits your unique needs and goals.

You feel stuck at a fork in the road, overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or indecision that drains your energy and steals your potential (you know it's there). One path leads to clarity, purpose, and forward momentum. The other keeps you trapped in the same unfulfilling cycle. I help individuals and couples regain control, overcome decision paralysis, and make value aligned choices in career, relationships, and life.

If you are looking to improve your relationships, focus on personal growth, or work on healing from past wounds, you are in the right place. I believe that we have all that we need to heal ourselves within us, but sometimes we need the help of a compassionate person, such as a counsellor, in reconnecting to that part of ourselves. If you've been feeling isolated with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, know that you are not alone - even though it may seem that way at times.

When life stops making sense, and the support you thought you’d have isn’t there, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or worn down in ways that are hard to explain. I primarily work with women who aren’t failing at life. They’re exhausted from holding too much for too long, navigating relationship ruptures, chronic stress, trauma, or major transitions while trying to keep it together on the outside. If you’re feeling flooded, shut down, or quietly lost, this is a space where you don’t have to perform or explain your way in. We start where you are.

Everybody faces struggles at some point in their lives. I believe that all people are worthy and deserving of respect and support during these times. I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness.

Maybe you’ve been holding things together for a long time, but lately it feels harder. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or notice that the past keeps showing up in your relationships, emotions, or body. I work with trauma, PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), anxiety and painful past experiences. You don’t need to have the right words or understand exactly why you feel this way. We can start where you are, gently make sense of what’s happening, and help you feel safer, more connected and more like yourself again.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, stress, work issues, life transitions and OCD. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers and caregivers and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.
