I specialize in supporting individuals navigating chronic pain or illness, cancer, trauma, anxiety, burnout, high-stress roles and first responders. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. This is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s been going on, and feel less alone with it. With me, you can expect compassion, lots of metaphors, and a little bit of humour. This same style guides my approach to clinical supervision.

Together we will focus on understanding patterns, reconnecting with yourself, and creating space for complexity. My work is rooted in a relational, person-centred approach and draws from EMDR, internal family systems, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches.

Therapy with me is thoughtful, human, and down-to-earth. There’s no pressure to have the right words or know exactly where to start. We take things one step at a time, with curiosity and self-compassion. Therapy doesn’t have to start with certainty. If you’re curious about working together, reach out, we'll take it from there.

Living with chronic pain, illness, or cancer can feel deeply isolating, especially when others don't fully understand what you're going through. You deserve space where your experience doesn't need to be minimized or pushed through, and someone else really gets it. Together, we'll explore how health challenges impact your life, relationships, and sense of self.
