Let's Connect (249) 475-4283

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others? Perhaps you’re navigating stress, depression, or painful experiences from the past. You may want to feel more grounded, confident, and connected but aren’t sure how to get there. I support individuals—including queer, Indigenous, neurodiverse, racialized communities, and people with disabilities—through CBT, EFT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. Together, we’ll build resilience, heal, and create meaningful change.

I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and inclusive, drawing on CBT, EFT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to support growth and resilience.

Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve felt unseen or marginalized in the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I bring compassion, curiosity, and over 25 years of mindfulness practice to create a space for healing. Your journey toward clarity and self-acceptance can begin today.
