I believe therapy is, at its heart, about connection, personal growth, and transformation. I’m dedicated to offering a compassionate, open, and genuine space - supporting individuals through a process that aims to cultivate greater inner freedom and more connected, meaningful lives. I believe that all behavior serves a function and that therapy helps us look beneath the surface to understand the role they play (behaviours such as addiction, eating struggles, chronic anxiety, and more). Most importantly, we learn what is needed to experience change and peace.

My specializations include somatic trauma work, eating disorders, body image, and anxiety. Through a trauma-informed lens, I incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Life Process Transformation and alternative modalities to help clients experience longstanding change.
I am happy to provide a free phone call to answer questions you may have about my approach. The benefits of working in this way often include; deeply connecting with your self and meaning, releasing patterns such as people pleasing, perfectionism, self doubt, self battling, overanalyzing and cultivating inner peace, self compassion, trust and joy.

My approach to therapy involves an eclectic range of somatic trauma-informed modalities and psychoeducational components. Although I am not connected to a specific religion personally, I would say that when appropriate, I integrate a spiritual (metaphysical), transpersonal, existential and humanistic lens.
