You look like you’re holding it together. You show up for work, for your family, for everyone else. From the outside, you seem capable and steady. Inside, it feels heavier than it should. Stress lingers. Old patterns repeat. Trauma still lives in your body. Money stress or financial anxiety keeps you up at night. Parenting feels overwhelming, and you're afraid you won't be able to escape the intergenerational trauma. Burnout creeps in quietly. Or maybe you just know something needs to change. You are not broken. Truly. You are carrying a lot.
I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach (EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT) with an attachment and emotionally focused lens. We’ll make sense of it all - how you got here, why now, and what’s next? Nothing is too messy to work with, and we'll pair depth with concrete tools you can use so you can find a way forward.
Therapy doesn't need to feel overly clinical to be impactful - in fact, that's not my style. A genuine relational rapport is core to my approach so you feel safe, respected, and confident. You don't need to bring the 'right' words because we’ll find them together. You'll often hear me say, "I got you" - and I mean it.

I've been a RSW for 15 years, mainly rooted in clinical and therapeutic practice, and recently as an educator at Memorial University. My experience is broad, but my approach is always real and down-to-earth. Fun fact: I'm also trained in equine-assisted psychotherapy (yes, therapy with horses!)

I work with clients who have experienced trauma in its many forms, including financial, relationships and losses, identity and life transitions. A typical treatment plan may blend EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, narrative therapy and others, always tailored to you. Most clients notice a shift in how they see themselves—finding clarity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of direction.

I use EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, and narrative therapy, but I'm always learning and evolving to bring fresh tools to our work and rarely stick to one approach. No two treatment plans are the same. Each is tailored to your goals and needs. Sessions are relaxed and collaborative, with space for real conversations, curiosity, and growth.
