Each life stage brings its own joys and challenges, whether it be parenthood, adolescence, adulthood or childhood. You have taken a step towards change and growth by being here today, the next step in creating positive and lasting transformations doesn't have to happen alone. I am passionate in my work with adults, adolescents, athletes, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, self-harm, perfectionism, and more. As a retired varsity and competitive athlete, I also hold a special interest in exploring how sport impacts our lives through injury, identity shifts, pressures, and disordered eating.
After 10+ in mental health I offer a blended approach to supporting clients, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, EMDR therapy and integrative play-based therapy for children/families. Sessions integrate psychoeducation, strategy building, a psychoanalytic to gain insight into patterns or to hold space to feel understood.
A supportive and trusting relationship is the foundation of an effective therapeutic experience and therefore I deeply value my clients individuality and work collaboratively to gain meaningful change. As a mom of two I pride myself on being genuine, warm, compassionate, honest and flexible while I walk alongside you on this journey.

I have ten years experience working with teens/families and feel passionate in working alongside each in finding ways to increase positive communication, understand individual stress response and increase healthy coping strategies. I also have a personal connection working with parents in their postpartum journey and the many individual and relationship changes that come with a growing family.

I value that each client experience is unique and therefore will blend a variety of modalities when getting to know clients and finding the best direction for our sessions. I often draw from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) lens in my practice. Both help explore how our thoughts impact our emotions and inevitably how we cope with stress.
