My website
I work with adults, youth and families seeking healing and positive change as they navigate the ups and downs of life. Together we cultivate deep respect for each person’s unique experiences while nurturing the connections, within ourselves and to others, that enliven us.
People often come to therapy because they feel stuck, numb, isolated and/or in deep emotional pain. Somewhere inside they can usually sense that a more wholehearted experience of life is possible with the right support. This striving for transformation is where we begin our work together.
My approach puts an authentic relationship at the centre of everything. I will meet you wherever you are in your journey and co-create space to make it safe for you to share without fear of judgement. We'll collaborate so you can access your inner strengths and resources to enhance your life, find new growth, and form strong bonds.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, traumatic experiences, attachment trauma, grief, loneliness or isolation. Clients deepen healing emotions in the context of a safe relationship to reveal what feels true and right. Most of my clients experience some relief very early on in our work together and this deepens as we go.
