I prioritize a non-judgmental and deeply empathetic approach to anxiety and other concerns that's individualized to your needs. I want to help you understand your challenges and feel confident in your ability to grow through them.
One of my favourite aspects of helping others is that moment when it clicks for a client that the change they want is possible. I'd be thrilled at the chance to support you toward that moment and beyond. Clients have brought a wide variety of concerns to my office, and I've helped them grow their strength around difficult feelings, set clear paths forward, and unburden themselves of immobilizing shame.

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.

My Ideal client is someone who desires emotional growth, healthy change in their life or just a safe space to unpack what life has been throwing at them recently. I feel most confident in guiding clients through their attachment trauma, grief or loss, negative thought patterns, and addressing unhelpful beliefs. I enjoy exploring attachment styles with clients, and bringing awareness to the impact of relationship dynamics on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I most look forward to helping clients learn sustainable ways of healing, pattern recognition tools, mindfulness, and building a sense of deservingness within themselves.

Connection and understanding is key. Feeling like we can talk freely and understand each other is what it´s all about. Building trust and clarity guides our progress and paves the way so our efforts can lead us forward to the results we desire in our lives. In that context, professional techniques are like stepping stones and building blocks that help us along the way, particularly when we need it most. If you need support, don´t hesitate to reach out. Your needs and goals are an important part of who you are, and what your journey is. I will be honoured to offer all the support I can.

I support clients in navigating emotional challenges through warm, compassionate, evidence‑based therapy. What first drew me to counselling was experiencing how healing it can be to feel truly seen and understood within a safe, authentic therapeutic relationship. As a holistic, trauma‑informed therapist, I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and insomnia. I also specialize in supporting Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) by helping them understand their trait, reduce overwhelm, and build emotional resilience.

When the world demands we fit into their boxes, it gets hard to know ourselves. We get cut off from the parts we’ve had to hide, or contend with who we've had to become, in order to survive.
As a transgender AuDHD system, we feel this deeply. So, I offer what’s helped us: a radically accepting, empowering and understanding space where you can freely explore who you are, or want to be, with no judgements or coercion.
We deeply believe everyone, inside and out, is deserving of rights, respect and care. Yes, even the parts you wish weren’t there. You’re not too broken/weird/crazy/dangerous, and you're welcome here, exactly as you are.

You might feel trapped in recurring patterns that are difficult to break, even with your efforts to progress. Feelings of stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or past experiences can leave you overwhelmed, frustrated, or uncertain about how to act differently. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of these patterns and create practical strategies to respond with more clarity and confidence.

Do you feel like you’ve reached your breaking point, yet aren’t breaking through to the next level? Maybe you fluctuate between feeling scattered or paralyzed when it comes down to keeping up with everything. You might feel stuck when it comes to improving your relationships, career, or self-care. From the outside it can look like you don’t care enough, lack motivation, or are just not trying. We know that isn’t true. You are self-aware, especially about the kind of life you want, and who you’d love to be.

I work with people who carry responsibility deeply such as first responders, veterans, parents, creatives, and caregivers - often the ones others depend on. Beneath the surface, there’s often grief, burnout, disconnection, or a harsh inner critic that won’t ease up. My work supports people in making space for themselves again: emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, ADHD, parenting challenges, or looking into psychedelic integration, I offer a grounded approach to help you reconnect with yourself, explore the roots of what’s going on, and move toward more clarity, connection, and ease.

My approach is guided by the understanding that we, as people, are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences and those we were denied.
Whether your area of concern be surrounding mental health challenges, exploring the many parts of your identity that make you who you are, processing traumatic moments, recognizing and learning from intergenerational patterns, together we will journey towards understanding, and moving forward. I bring a direct, yet gentle, approach to my work as a counsellor that focuses on the “roots” of issues as opposed to the branches that extend from them.

I specialize in helping you to go deeper to understand and release whatever is holding you back. I weave depth psychology and attachment healing with a trauma-informed, somatic approach to help you go beyond talk therapy on its own.
During our sessions, I will encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.
