If you're a student or in the early years of your career, you already know this season of life asks a lot: new cities, new identities, money pressure, relationships shifting. Sometimes it's the present that's heavy. Sometimes it's the past: experiences that still show up as anxiety, shutdown, or the same painful patterns on repeat, long after they should have stayed behind you.
I specialize in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps your brain finish processing what it couldn't process at the time, so old experiences lose their charge instead of quietly running your present. People often seek me out specifically for EMDR, and it is the heart of my work.
Reaching out takes courage, especially when you are carrying so much. Please know you don't have to navigate this transition alone. I offer a safe, warm space to help you heal and grow. To make support accessible, I provide a free consultation and a student sliding scale. Whenever you are ready, I'm here. Let's connect.

I have a trauma-informed and attachment-based orientation, helping you to harness your strengths and break free from limiting beliefs. I use integrated cognitive behavioural therapy techniques that are naturally attuned to your needs and experiences. In situations where focus is required to move quickly towards a goal, I use solution-based strategies to keep us on track.
