Maybe you’ve spent years feeling scattered, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or “behind,” and over time those labels have turned inward. When self-criticism becomes the loudest voice, confidence slowly erodes. If pushing yourself harder had worked, you wouldn’t be here. Instead, you’re open to trying something different—something that might feel better and help you move closer to the “potential” people say you have. What if the problem isn’t you, but the expectations placed on a brain that was never designed to function this way?

I help creative thoughtful people do their best work. Sometimes we get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Sometimes we get writers block, lose direction, lose hope, or notice that our relationships suffer when we’re deep in a project. It can be especially hard when we’re under a lot of pressure, like writing a thesis or a book, making a film, or building something that matters. But you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a licensed therapist with the CRPO, specialized in unlocking creative potential.

You may feel the weight of anxiety and self-doubt, overwhelming both your mind and body. It's not just the constant worrying, but the physical toll it takes—the tightness in your chest, your heart racing, sleepless nights, and a lingering exhaustion that doesn’t seem to go away. You might find yourself caught in a cycle of questioning whether you're good enough or capable, and it becomes harder to manage the pressure to perform. On the outside, you try to keep up, but internally, something doesn’t feel right. It’s as if you’re simply going through the motions without fully engaging in life.

For over a decade, my work has focused on supporting survivors of sexualized and domestic violence, as well as first responders coping with job-related trauma.
I draw from evidence-based approaches, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My practice is also influenced by attachment theory and a strong belief in the power of relational connection to foster meaningful change. Fundamentally, my approach is integrative and compassion-focused.
