As a former NCAA D1 athlete, I help athletes and non-athletes untangle and navigate the complex, awe-inspiring work of being human, whether in sport or in life. Life piles on between sport, work, family, and relationships, it can feel like there's no room to slip up, no room for breaks. I’ve lived that pressure to conform and I know how easy it is to start attaching your confidence to your accomplishments. As a queer, neurodivergent, Maltese-Canadian living with a TBI, these experiences guide my work as a trauma-informed therapist rooted in relational neuroscience, and critical systems.

My areas of interest are athletes, marginalized identities, high performers, injury, burnout, hidden experiences, systemic oppression, existential anxiety, Neurodivergence, intergenerational trauma, relationships, concussions, TBI, trauma, grief, and (dis)ability. However, my practice is open to anyone in need of support.

I understand choosing a therapist can be overwhelming, so please feel free to further explore my website and book a free consultation to meet the human behind these words. Wishing you health and wellness moving forward.

My approach is meaning-centered, future oriented, and relational.

I work alongside my clients to discover and process their "how" and "why" that shapes their experiences and influences the way they think, feel, and interact with the world around them.
