Are you trying to move forward in life, but find yourself constantly weighed down by the past? Maybe it's your experience growing up, a toxic relationship, or something that happened to you. After hardship or trauma, the brain adapts in brilliant (though sometimes unhelpful) ways. You might find yourself feeling anxious and unable to let things go, numb and shut down, or feeling disconnected from the person you want to be and the life you want to be living. If that sounds like you, know that this doesn't have to go on forever.

Hello! I am a compassionate, supportive and collaborative therapist that offers both short term or long term therapy depending on what you need! I am here to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through old pains and new life challenges with yourself or family members.

I offer one-on-one individual sessions for adults and youth navigating themes of depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, grief, sexuality, gender identity, race/racism, childhood trauma, relationships issues, self-worth and harm reduction/substance use. I approach the exploration of healing and trauma processing with a non-linear, non-pathological perspective that recognizes the relationships between systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, and adaptive survival/coping mechanisms. My hope is to ground our conversations in nuance, sensitivity and curiosity.

Accepting New Clients! I am an expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. I have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and caregiver burnout. I am also well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory), mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and dissociative disorders. Finally, I treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned so much :).

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and rooted in values of diversity, anti-oppression, social justice, and personal growth, and is inclusive of all identities and expressions. I work with individuals and couples with the goal of helping them meet their goals for wellbeing and self-understanding. I work with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, situational stress or distress, emotional exploration, and difficulties in relationships.
