I support individuals and families navigating emotional and relational challenges, including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, addiction, family estrangement, and patterns associated with borderline and narcissistic traits. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients better understand themselves, their experiences, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
A key part of my work with clients is helping build skills for resilience, emotional regulation, healthier relationships, greater confidence, and more compassionate self-talk.
I'm a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor in private practice, accepting new clients in person, Zoom, or by phone. I practice trauma informed CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to address relationship issues, childhood trauma, family trauma, depression, grief, and BPD. Together, we make meaningful changes, find healing, and healthy ways forward
Starting counselling can feel vulnerable but you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If something feels difficult, overwhelming, or you want change, I invite you to connect. Let's explore what you’re experiencing and where to begin. I strive to create a meaningful counselling relationship that is warm, compassionate, and supportive
