Do you often feel like you’re the one holding everything together, while feeling overwhelmed underneath it all? You may be struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, overthinking, difficult relationship patterns, or the effects of experiences that have left you feeling guarded, disconnected, or stuck. Maybe you understand your patterns but can’t seem to change them. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and create space to discover what you need and where you want to go.

Welcome, and thank you for taking this brave step toward healing.
My practice is rooted in helping you rebuild confidence, reclaim agency, and move toward self-actualization in ways that align with your values. It can be difficult to see a clear path from where you are to where you want to be—especially when you’ve been shaped by coercion, abuse, or burnout. I believe real change grows from honest, grounded moments—not from dramatic shifts, but from steady, compassionate steps.

There are things going on in your life that are a bit out of your wheelhouse to manage right now. Whether it's anxiety, overwhelm, change or wondering who you actually are, you know that you need help. And yet...you're supposed to be the strong one...how would the people in your life react if they knew that you need help too? Which brings up another thing...you're tired of giving to everyone else. You've noticed that you just end up feeling empty and resentful when you do this. It's time to change.

Life can feel like a lot sometimes. Stress, anxiety, or major changes can build up and leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next. Many people come to counselling simply needing a place to talk things through and feel understood.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I offer a compassionate space where you can show up just as you are. Together, we’ll gently explore what you’re experiencing, make sense of your thoughts and emotions, and find practical ways to help you cope, heal, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

As a trained trauma therapist, my approach gets to the root of your long-standing problems. Experiences of stress and trauma leave lasting impacts on the brain, body and psyche, disrupting our mood, energy, and thinking patterns. These impacts can not be undone by “talk therapy” alone. In addition to being a talk therapist, I am trained in a variety of neurobiologically-based trauma processing therapies. These techniques can release the impacts of stress and trauma, freeing you to pursue the life you want. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged and overwhelmed, consider whether stress and trauma have been holding you back.

I help you make sense of painful past experiences so they no longer leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down.

By developing a deeper understanding of yourself, we work toward greater confidence, emotional resilience, and healthier ways of coping.

As we look at the space between your current situation, and how you’d like your life to be, we will create a roadmap for our work together.
