Being a human is hard - life can be painful and overwhelming. If you feel like you're overthinking and anxious, your self-critic is loud, you're tired but wired and at the mercy of emotions - you're not alone. As a therapist and nutritionist, I specialize in the bidirectional influence of our mental and physical health on wellbeing. I help folks understand and partner with their nervous systems and bodies, so that they can gain freedom from the past, patterns and perspectives that are holding them back. I work with teens (15+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, big life transitions and trauma.

You can’t think your way out of anxiety and OCD. If you’ve been analyzing, reassuring, or trying to control intrusive thoughts and it keeps backfiring, you’re not alone. I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT—gold-standard treatments for lasting change. Together, we’ll reduce compulsions, respond differently to intrusive thoughts, and build tolerance for uncertainty so anxiety has less control. I also support trauma, grief, and life transitions when they intersect with anxiety. If you’re ready for a focused, effective approach, reach out.

Do you live with sensory sensitivity, a mood disorder, or a developmental or physical disability? Have your diverse needs caused significant changes or loss related to your health, spirituality, work, status, hobbies, or social life? In the most challenging of times, it’s easy to lose touch with your sense of self, safety, and hope; it can be hard to see where you have choice. But what if you could lighten the burden you carry — a little at a time — creating more space in your life for the things that nourish you? What if you gained more clarity around the choices you can make to start building a new life experience?

You've been carrying this long enough. Unresolved trauma shows up quietly — as exhaustion that doesn't lift, patterns that repeat, a body that stays on alert. Whether you're healing from childhood trauma, residential school legacy, sexual abuse or grief, you deserve more than managing symptoms. You deserve to find your way back to yourself. FNHA members: fee coverage may be available.

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

There is so much going on in the world today, alongside personal issues that we are all navigating. We might get really good at appearing okay, while on the inside we feel drained, find relationships difficult, or feel unclear about our direction. Symptoms from these patterns can manifest in both the mind and the body, manifesting as stress and burnout.
Many people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck or overwhelmed in ways that are hard to shift alone. Together, we will explore patterns with curiosity, and begin to make sense of what’s going on in order to shift towards more clarity, ease. and growth.
