This approach explores the root causes of symptoms by uncovering and understanding underlying emotions through evidence-based treatment. Through collaborative dialogue, we examine unconscious thoughts and emotions shaped from childhood to the present. We work to relieve symptoms by understanding how these patterns affect current experiences, and create targeted strategies for meaningful change long-term.

Are you considering separating from your partner because trust has been deeply violated? Are you scared of losing your relationship and want to reconnect with your partner? We begin with a process of healing that honours the truth of your experience. Where there is disconnection, we create emotional space to be understood. Where there is a cycle of conflict, we build structure that makes productive conversations possible. Together we work towards a relationship that is honestly repaired or consciously redefined. I also specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and substance use.

You keep up with your work and responsibilities, but inside it’s a constant balancing act. Maybe you lie awake replaying mistakes in your head, try to numb out, or feel mentally and emotionally drained no matter how much you push forward.

Hi, have you struggled with feeling there must be new ways you could experience more connection? Do you long for new ways of looking at yourself in the context of your life?

My approach is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space to explore life challenges and work toward improved functioning. I draw on different approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy and polyvagal informed theory in order to tailor the counselling experience to the unique needs of the client. My practice is centred around values of curiosity and respect for the client’s lived experience, with a focus on creating increased self compassion and internal safety. I believe that we can access internal strengths that foster improved wellbeing through increased awareness and intentional practice.

I know how difficult it can feel to be human some days. When painful thoughts and emotions take over- it can feel impossible to find a way forward. You get stuck fighting with and blaming yourself for feeling this way. Relationships can suffer, and it's hard to connect with what really matters.
You don't have to do this alone —and humans aren't made to. It takes courage to seek support. As painful as these feelings might be, with the right support and guidance, they can also become a doorway to personal growth. Together, we'll slow down, tend to what feels heavy, and find what is needed for deeper healing.

You want deeper, more fulfilling relationships, but something keeps getting in the way. Perhaps you're navigating relationship challenges, intimacy or sexuality concerns, burnout, or a major life transition that has left you feeling disconnected from yourself. Together, we'll explore the patterns, stories, and experiences shaping your life and create meaningful, lasting change. I integrate evidence-based psychotherapy, sex therapy, and yoga-informed somatic practices to help you build stronger relationships, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I also provide supervision for care workers.

People living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and complex PTSD are often misunderstood. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, stigma, shame, and feeling like they have to hide parts of themselves just to be accepted. You don't have to do that here. I'm deeply passionate about supporting people with BPD and helping change the way it is understood. I believe that every behaviour makes sense in the context of a person's experiences, and that healing begins when we move away from asking, "What's wrong with you?" and start asking, "What happened to you?"

I have been working in the mental health field for most of my adult life. I have worked alongside those with depression, anxiety, street-entrenched youth, veterans suffering from trauma, victims of sexual assault, and people struggling from addiction in all its forms. I have seen how the pain from the past can rob us from that which we hold most dear: our connection with our loved ones, pursuing a meaningful life, and finding a sense of peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Be it finding a place to grieve, mourning the past, challenging our beliefs and deeply held patterns, or meeting parts of oneself with compassion, I can help.

It is exhausting to live with a nagging sense that you just aren't quite "good enough." That hidden insecurity messes with everything. It turns simple chats with your partner into big fights. It makes you feel shy or worried about what others think, when you really just want to feel at ease.
It’s time to turn that around. I keep therapy warm, real, and lighthearted. We won’t just talk in circles; we’ll build actual skills to help you feel secure in your life and relationships. Imagine a relationship without the drama, or finally feeling comfortable in your own skin. Let’s get you there.

This understanding helps me to develop a focused and effective treatment strategy designed to increase happiness and improve quality of life. I rely on evidence-based techniques, but also understand the importance building of a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust.

Fighting OCD and Anxiety feels like being at war with your own mind. Obsessive loops, constant worry, checking over and over, avoiding triggers. All of it is exhausting. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy, but the comfort and validation offer temporary relief at best. You realize what you’ve been doing isn’t working, and you want a therapist who is going to actually help you make a change, not just listen and offer comforting words.
