As a non‑binary, LGBTQIA+ therapist, I use DBT, IFS, and MI within an intersectional, trauma‑informed, person‑centred approach.
My clients are strong, capable adults, including frontline workers, first responders, public safety personnel, and trauma‑exposed professionals who carry a lot in their work, relationships, and life in general. Others rely on them for stability, yet privately they feel exhausted, distant, or on edge. Hypervigilance, burnout, moral distress, and emotional numbing start showing up in ways that are hard to ignore. What once felt manageable now feels heavier or more isolating, and it takes more effort to mask and push through than it used to.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Transitions, relationships, and the ups and downs of our inner world can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your direction. You may find yourself in familiar relationship patterns, feeling anxious beneath the surface, or noticing patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to set boundaries, even when you know something needs to change. Part of you understands what’s happening, but another part still feels stuck. Together, we’ll look at the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing, not just the symptoms, so change feels meaningful and lasting.

Using a trauma informed integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), and Narrative Therapy, I support clients to gain clarity and break free from 'stuckness'.
Reaching out for support can feel intimidating (and honestly, a bit overwhelming). A compassionate, supportive therapeutic relationship can make that first step feel less heavy.
I’m a counsellor with a deep curiosity about the human experience and a genuine respect for each person’s unique story — no two are the same, and I don’t believe they should be treated that way.
I take a collaborative approach, working alongside you rather than “fixing” you, to support a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. I support individuals in building lives that reflect balance, meaning, and purpose.

Are you noticing excessive worries, low mood, challenging relationships, or stress with food and body image? Whether it's navigating a breakup, starting a new semester, struggling with low self-worth, or feeling anxious about the future, our experiences can sometimes feel insurmountable. Tending to our emotions is important to address as they can manifest physically as changes in eating, difficulty sleeping, increased isolation, or inability to complete work. Therapy provides a space to explore the challenges that arise in your world and build healthy coping skills to buffer any negativity that comes your way.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and deeply intuitive. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or out of sync with the pace and expectations of the world around them. Some identify as neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or simply as someone who has always felt “different” or out of place. Others are just beginning to realize that their nervous system works differently — and that this might not be something to fix. I don’t believe there is anything fundamentally wrong with you. I see anxiety, depression, and other symptoms as signals — often pointing to unmet needs, misalignment, or a season of life.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
