I ground my work in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, however I draw on many different modalities, including CPT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, and EFT.
I am humbled to work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related challenges, trauma, relationship challenges, and sexual health challenges, including compulsive sexual behaviours, sexual trauma, and erectile/ejaculation difficulties. Regardless of what led you here, many of my clients seek counselling as a result of being fed up with the way things are. Together we will work to uncover why you feel the way you do, develop tangible strategies to work with rather than against your emotions, and spend time expressing them in ways that will work for you long term.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, struggling in relationships, or processing past trauma, I’m here to help guide you through the complexities of the human experience with empathy, patience, and a holistic approach to healing.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with a deep commitment to supporting individuals—including queer, trans, and non-binary folks—through trauma, loss, and identity exploration.

I also support couples who are seeking to deepen emotional bonds, navigate relationship challenges, or repair ruptures. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can reconnect with your truth and begin to feel whole again.

I draw from emotion-focused therapy ( EFT) and attachment theories, internal family systems (IFS) and parts work, dialectical and cognitive behavioural therapies (DBT & CBT), and mindfulness and somatic approaches.
My therapy approach is relational and collaborative. Feeling comfortable and connected is when therapy is most effective. My goal is to support you to understand yourself and what you need; to come back home to yourself. I tend to work with folks who aren’t feeling satisfied with their quality of life.

I work with teens and adults, and have experience working in healthcare, not for profit, and private settings.

I work within the framework of Somatic Experiencing, Attachment based counselling, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Family Systems Theory.
I specialize in relationship counselling, trauma and grief and loss, however, my practice encompasses much more. I offer a very heart centered, calm and present approach to my clients. I have studied how stress interferes with our nervous system and can lead us to respond from instinct and reactivity rather then from a place of calm and presence.

I am trained in EMDR, DBT, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
You experience good days and not-so-good days. You don’t discuss your feelings with your family because you don’t want to burden them. Your friends have their struggles, so you don’t talk about your panic anxiety, perfectionism, or low self esteem. Instead, you keep it to yourself, and you cope by minimising, normalising, or denying how you feel. Consequently, your relationship with your partner and family members is impacted. You stay busy and focus on things you can control, like work. Talking and processing your feelings can help you feel less overwhelmed. We can implement changes as we learn where your issues stem from.

I usually start with ACT, DBT, CBT & EFT to identify how you want to live & build skills to manage daily life.
Sometimes life can have us feeling stuck in the same difficult patterns: feeling disconnected from our self, from our sense of meaning or purpose, from connection, presence and contentment. We may find ourselves on life’s path, believing that we are making progress, only to find that we have journeyed back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves here, it may be time to reach out for support. I believe therapy gives us the space to go deeper into our current experience; into the underlying issues that are feeding our present challenges. When we experience healing "at the roots" we can make lasting positive changes in our lives.
