Parents I work with are often looking to strengthen their relationship with their child or teen, wanting to better support their children when they have strong or overwhelming emotions, or, feel overwhelmed with parenting at times. I've worked at CHEO's Outpatient Mental Health Program for the past decade where my clinical and research focus has been on parent intervention with children and teens with strong emotion and impulsive behaviour. With a down-to-earth, attachment-based approach I'm here to boost parents' confidence and connection with their kids and help home feel more peaceful.

At the heart of my approach to counselling is the sentiment that meaningful change takes place when we shift focus towards creating a life that works with us and not against us. At its core this means working towards honouring existing strengths, exploring what matters most to you, and identifying ways we can use this knowledge to inform our change. As a student therapist I bring my past experience supporting individuals with ADHD and other neurodiversity's to offer an approach to counselling that considers the unique experiences of each client through a neurodiversity informed lens.

You're a highly sensitive human in your 20's or 30's who needs a therapist who "gets" your neurodivergent brain. You've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just talking about your problems - you need somebody who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've watched all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change

I am passionate about people and the complexity of human experience. I believe that we are more than the difficulties we face.
My personal and professional journey has helped me develop the skills to support individuals, couples, and families dealing with different challenges, such as anxiety, depression, addictions, as well as relationship issues like conflict, communication, intimacy, and parenting.

Do you feel stuck in a trauma response - endlessly scrolling, zoning out, overthinking every conversation you had today? Maybe you’re a chronic people-pleaser, raised by emotionally unavailable parents, now trapped in patterns of self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. You’re hyper-aware of everyone’s feelings but disconnected from your own. Your nervous system is activated into fight, flight, freeze... fawn. You know the psychology, but the patterns won’t budge. So you numb out with TikTok, Netflix, wine, or weed - anything to escape the overwhelm. You’re exhausted from trying to reparent yourself while still surviving.

I specialize in helping high-school students, young adults, career-changers, and professionals who want more clarity about their next steps but may feel stuck or unsure about how to move forward. You may be a parent supporting a young adult who is bright and capable but uncertain about how their strengths connect with future possibilities. Or you may be an adult considering a career transition, re-evaluating your direction, and looking for guidance to understand and sort through your options. In either case, the process can feel overwhelming, and support can make a real difference.

Seashore Psychotherapy offers both in-person and virtual services, grounded in a psychodynamic approach to treatment. Here, psychotherapy is understood not simply as symptom reduction, but as a process of transforming the meaning individuals make of themselves, their relationships, and their place in the world. The therapeutic work emphasizes curiosity, depth, and collaboration, creating a reflective space where experiences can be explored with care and nuance. Treatment focuses on present-day concerns while attending to the emotional, relational, and unconscious patterns that shape them.

Our life experiences create a set of parts within us that we carry in our daily lives, and that show up both when we most and least expect them to. Together, we will welcome each and every part of yourself and create a safe space to explore the ways in which they impact your life. While these parts have developed within us over time, and may have defined our past, we can gain a sense of control over them, so, they do not have to define our future. Together, we will build the confidence to determine which parts of ourselves we need to empower, comfort, understand, and make space for, promoting self-understanding and growth.
