Overwhelmed by life's challenges? Whether it's anxiety, complex relationships, impulsive habits, or feeling lost and disconnected, you're not alone. With a background in addictions counselling, I’ve walked alongside clients to figure out what practical insights, tools, and resources to draw on to move forward. Originally from Winnipeg, my approach is based in CBT and Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. Successes in areas of personal well-being, relationships, family, behavioral health, coping, and adapting to changes inform our work together.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, relationship challenges, or the emotional toll of a high-stress career, therapy offers space to breathe and rebuild balance.

You may feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or trauma; feel disconnected in your relationships; or face identity questions, life transitions, or burnout. Many of my clients are navigating the stress of being “different”- as LGBTQ+, immigrants, professionals under pressure, or simply people carrying invisible burdens. You want relief from shame, confusion, or isolation, and a space where you can be understood without judgment. You may long for clarity about who you really are, healthier connections, or the ability to live more authentically. My role is to support you in rediscovering resilience, meaning, and self-confidence.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

I understand how trauma can touch every part of life, and I specialize in helping people navigate the lasting impact of sexual harm, racial trauma, domestic violence, and institutional betrayal in settings like the military, corrections, or healthcare.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is the leading therapeutic modality for healing trauma and has been consistently empirically validated for making meaningful changes to the quality of life for people with PTSD and C-PTSD.

I know first hand how overwhelming it can be when you're struggling, feel alone or even lost.

Some of my areas of focus include working with veterans, first responders, health care workers, male survivors of sexual violence, suicidal ideation and self-harm, people dealing with the impact of trauma and PTSD, late in life ADHD diagnosis, chronic illness, as well as major life transitions.
I believe one of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I remember what it feels like to be on your side of the couch, overwhelmed by the idea of sharing my most vulnerable stories. When we've hit (or passed) the point of burnout, or we have a stressful experience like a loss or traumatic event, it can be hard to imagine finding joy or fulfillment again. You deserve a space to discover your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and find a meaningful path forward.

For people who’ve tried therapy before and feel stuck in their heads, I specialize in rebuilding nervous-system safety and trust. My own recovery from complex and intergenerational trauma is the backbone of why I do this work—I wanted others to have a different experience of safety and connection than I did. I work with people navigating Complex PTSD (CPTSD), trauma, and identity or cultural fragmentation who feel disconnected from themselves, their bodies, or relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and relational, integrating EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, parts work, and narrative therapy.
