I support individuals with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and family conflict.
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.

Everyone deserves support in challenging times. My passion is supporting people in times of change, from surviving grief and traumatic experiences, to exploring gender and sexuality, navigating relationship challenges, or thriving in post-secondary. Together, we'll identify steps forward rooted in your own lived wisdom, values, and goals. The people I meet for counselling describe my style as warm, caring, and genuinely interested in the person I’m speaking with. I offer questions to help people think and talk through their situations in ways they haven’t gotten to yet.

I have a special focus and passion for trauma recovery, nervous system balance, neurotransmitters (brain chemistry) support, hormone balance, and have programs for trauma recovery, eating disorder recovery, anxiety, depression, and phobias.
Many of my clients come to me after trying multiple forms of therapy, mindset work, health protocols and personal development, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns. What they discover is that their exhaustion, anxiety, or repeating cycles are not failures of willpower. They are signals that deeper subconscious and nervous system layers need to be addressed. My work blends clinical hypnotherapy, mind–body regulation, emotional processing, and internal family systems work to help clients change patterns at the level where they were originally formed.

I have extensive experience supporting clients with body image issues, disordered eating / eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
Change is possible… Therapy can help you to identify unhealthy patterns, develop coping strategies, and learn effective communication skills. You can increase your understanding of the underlying issues and emotions that may be contributing to challenging situations. With increased insight and new skills, you can become more empowered to make positive and meaningful changes in your life. I believe in the profound impact of our emotions and of our connections - with ourselves and with others - on our well-being.

I hold space for women who are ready to commit to a deep & conscious spiritual process of healing & transformation. Whether wanting to recover from trauma, feeling lost, depressed, anxious, or the have the call to deepen their journey. Convinced that no healing happens unless body is involved and shadow integrated, I have a transpersonal approach that weaves tools like somatic therapy, EMDR, cyclical awareness, psycho-spiritual education & breathwork, from a humanistic & client centred stance. It keeps developing as I deepen my study in the areas of trauma, transpersonal therapy, ancestral & collective trauma and energy healing.

I have worked extensively with those experiencing suicidal ideation, depressive episodes, disordered eating, general/acute anxiety and survivors of sexualized violence.
The Self calls to us in many ways. Life may feel destabilized, old patterns may be breaking, and a sense of urgency or confusion can arise. A crisis may reveal itself as significant relationship challenge, great loss, suicidal thoughts, loss of meaning, persistent anxiety, addiction, or simply an uncomfortable tug that persists no matter our efforts. These experiences are the psyches invitation into deeper awareness. My work offers a space to explore, attune, and integrate the deeper truths within you.

Gentle, non-pathologizing counselling grounded in safety and care. Much of my work is shaped by years of providing community support, where I’ve witnessed how people adapt to survive harm, stress, and systemic pressure. I approach counselling with the belief that coping strategies make sense in context, and that healing begins with safety. I offer a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing space where we can slow things down, listen to the body, and build trust at your pace.

If anxiety about how you're seen in the world has started running the show, or your relationship with your body feels like something you're surviving instead of living in, you're in the right place. Much of my work lives at the intersection of body image, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm trained in dismantling weight bias and supporting people navigating appearance-based shame — the particular exhaustion of existing in a body that the world won't stop having opinions about. This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.

There are various issues that come up in life, from every day life stresses to unimaginable trauma. We all cope differently with what life has given us and heal in our own unique way. I am passionate about therapy as I have personally experienced, witnessed and facilitated immense healing through the therapeutic process. Human beings are social with a deep drive toward contact and connection. Regardless of what we have experienced in life there is an accessible pathway for all of us back to the core of our being where a true sense of self worth, peace and contentment reside.
