I have over 20 years of experience in the field of social work and over 15 years of experience in community mental health and addictions treatment and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of shock and developmental trauma and have been trained in cognitive and somatically-oriented therapeutic modalities. I work with individuals experiencing interpersonal challenges, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and life-stress. I operate out of Whitehorse and offer remote services in BC, Alberta, Ontario and Nunavut.
Therapy can be about re-discovering and re-connecting with those parts of ourselves that are alive and filled with wonder. Something remarkable happens when we look at ourselves with curiosity and presence. When we hold ourselves as intelligent and intentional beings rather than problems to be fixed, our relationship with ourselves starts to change.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious about understanding yourself on a deeper level, I’m here to help. Together, we can gently uncover the patterns and emotions that shape your life, offering clarity and fostering meaningful change. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, creating a supportive environment for reflection and healing.

I utilize therapeutic approaches that bring curiosity and deep inquiry into the different elements of experience (thoughts, feelings, sensations) that make us who we are. It is through coming to know oneself and being known that true therapeutic change happens. I also make use of somatic therapies that the support nervous system balance and the gradual reconnection of mind, body, and spirit.
