Therapy with me is about addressing anything that stands in your way of living your best life. These barriers may be past trauma, current life transitions or the pressures of capitalism which manifest as depression, anxiety, burnout or unskillful coping patterns. In our work together, you will learn to befriend yourself unconditionally, while being accountable to yourself for the changes you would like to see. My approach is holistic and synthesizes the mind, body and spirit. I specialize in decolonized therapy that is queer-allied, pro-fat, and anti-racist.
My overarching goal is to help you build resilience and confidence in living your best life. I use mindfulness as a primary modality and blend it with other psychotherapeutic approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting to meet your needs. I draw from psychology, Yoga, Buddhism, and sociology and see myself as a collaborator and co-conspirator in your journey.
Seeking help can be challenging and you have crossed the first hurdle. A positive therapeutic relationship can be empowering to take action that best serves you and your overall vision for life. Please connect with me for a FREE initial consultation (20-minutes) to see if my practice would be a good fit for you. I look forward to connecting with you.

I have many therapies in my toolkit. I choose my approach based on the client's needs, rather than trying to fit the client into a framework. My goal is to provide person-centred, trauma-informed, oppression-informed therapy. I tend to favour modalities that help clients understand their mind-body-spirit patterns, like mindfulness, EMDR, and Brainspotting. I blend Eastern and Western approaches.
