My website

With my background in aviation and the pet industry, I work extensively (but not exclusively) with individuals from these professions to create a space where you can set down the emotional weight, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover balance and purpose. This is your space to be real, explore the barriers standing between yourself and your values and goals, and build practical strategies that support lasting change, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are. In addition, as a SD handler, I work with individuals exploring the logistics and processes around acquiring a Service Dog or Emotional Support Animal.

I help adults navigate burnout, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, grief, relationships, and life transitions. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), while thoughtfully integrating CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to meet your unique needs and goals.

Whatever you’re feeling, we'll start where you’re at. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'd be honoured to walk alongside you as you move toward a life that feels more meaningful and authentic. As a neurospicy therapist with ADHD and Autism, I invite clients to show up authentically, and I promise to do the same.

I use an integrated approach to best resolve the barriers preventing you from living fully and authentically. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then together, we'll develop a treatment plan that addresses your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while drawing on your existing strengths. Therapy will be change and goal oriented.
