I help folks connect more compassionately with themselves, with others, and with a larger sense of meaning in life. You might be struggling with high anxiety that won’t let you rest, or depression that’s keeping you “stuck”. You might be experiencing a difficult life transition, and unsure how to move forward. You might be unhappy with your substance use, or feeling like unresolved trauma is keeping you on a emotional roller-coaster. I also work extensively with members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities and their families. Whatever is happening in your life, we can work on it together.
I’m a warm, non-judgemental therapist who’s creative and collaborative in session. At the heart of it, I believe the goal of therapy is psychological change: what are the patterns holding you back from living your most meaningful life? I use a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
Being a therapist allows me to work with people who do incredible things. I'm honoured to work with people as they achieve a level of growth and healing they didn’t believe was possible. To learn more about how I might be able to help, please contact me to schedule a free 20-minute virtual consultation.
