If you are struggling and want to get to the root of what you are feeling and what's driving your patterns, then you've come to the right place. I'll help you explore your underlying feelings so you are able to experience greater connection within yourself and live more wholeheartedly. I'll help you better understand your family history, your mental health, and your relationships, while learning the tools unique and helpful to YOU so you can thrive. I'm a BIPOC and 2STLGBQ+ ally and I believe in the inherent strength of each individual, while recognizing the impact of broader social inequities on health and mental health.
I'm a trauma therapist (Somatic Practitioner) and social worker with over 24 years of experience in the mental health and addictions field. I've worked as a university counsellor and am passionate about helping people overcome anxiety, depression, relational struggles, and family of origin issues. Folks have said I'm gentle, compassionate & emotion focused.
I'm thrilled you've found me here. I know the road to help can feel uncertain, scary & overwhelming. I'll help put you at ease as we navigate this process together. You're an active agent in your change process and it's important you feel safe, accepted and understood. I'd love to hear your "story" and walk alongside you-it's always a sacred journey.

My therapeutic approach is tailored and customized depending on what resonates most for you. My approach is heavily focused on understanding your childhood and family of origin (psycho-dynamic) including your attachment history. I pay attention to your nervous system and where traumatic memories get "stuck" using somatic therapy and emotion focused therapy. I also draw on CBT, IFS, and DBT.
