Assessment clients only at this time. I’m tattooed, ADHD, and here for the folks who’ve seen some shit. In sessions I show up real (typically leggings & hoodie), a holistic and non-pathologizing approach. I won’t ask you to journal your way through trauma, anxiety and systemic failure. Feeling the weight of what you've experienced doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you're human. My clients carry lots. They’re the ones who run toward the chaos: nurses, cops, medics, veterans, docs, dispatchers, RCMP & therapists. I’m here to hold space for you, knowing how much you hold for others, and won’t flinch when it gets messy.

I offer therapy + assessments (ADHD, mood, personality, MVA, STD/LTD) for clarity, accommodations, or insurance. I'm somatically trained (you don't have to take up yoga to work with me) and I blend Eastern vibes with Western science to get you out of your head. In addition to first responders, I have a passion for working with relational trauma and C-PTSD.

Life has an impact — sometimes in ways we don’t even realize. In our work together, we’ll get curious about what’s showing up, process what needs processing, and help you move forward a little lighter. Disclaimer: Working with me may include dark humour and cussing. If you’re curious, book a complimentary consult and we’ll see if we’re a fit.
