Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. With so many options, it’s natural to feel uncertain about where to start, or wondering if you’ll connect with someone. As a Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in couples therapy, focusing on strengthening connections, improving communication, and resolving conflict using attachment-based approaches. I also offer support for individuals facing anxiety, grief, experiencing life transitions and attachment injuries using trauma-responsive methods.
I provide compassionate, trauma-responsive therapy for individuals and couples. Specializing in marriage and relationship counselling, my goal is to help you find stability, support, and stronger connections. My goal is to help you feel like you're making progress, and that therapy is 'actually working'.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging. Connecting without commitment can be a good place to start. Reach out for a free 20-minute consultation—whether you have specific goals in mind, feel stuck, or just know something needs to change. Together, we’ll explore what you need to move forward.

I tailor support based on what you share your current needs are. What works for one person doesn't always work for someone else. Therapy needs to be a collaborative process in order for you to gain the most out of your experience. I primarily utilize attachment and somatic approaches when it comes establishing stability and identifying goals.
