Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

With a versatile, person-centred approach, encompassing creative therapeutic modalities, I cultivate a warm, collaborative, and compassionate space that leverages your unique values and strengths. I specialize in supporting clients hoping to facilitate personal and post-traumatic growth and address issues like depression, anxiety, self-worth, and trauma.

Embarking on a journey of self-healing is a courageous step, and I welcome you where you are at. The connection we build in therapy is a determinant of therapeutic outcomes. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or to schedule a a consultation before booking to ensure that I'm a good fit for you.
