Does it feel like everything is piling up, and you’re one breath away from breaking?
Stress and anxiety keep building up, and when it’s too much, you either snap or shut down. It’s like you’re caught in this endless cycle: feeling anxious, shameful, hopeless, struggling in your relationships, doubting yourself. You’re tired of pretending everything is fine, but you’re not sure how to change it.
You want to feel calm again, express yourself honestly without fear, and set boundaries without guilt. You want to feel like yourself: strong and at peace. I get it, and you’re not alone...

The aftermath of traumatic and life changing events can show up in our lives and our bodies. The hypervigilance one needs to hold any sense of safety can become overwhelming and exhausting at times. Reaching out for support can feel like an impossible feat but it is important to know you are not alone and there are safe spaces to explore these challenges. With help, it is possible to carry these experiences differently. What you have experienced has shaped you but does not have to define you, your relationships, or your future.

I believe genuine human connection is the basis for meaningful therapeutic work. I take a relational approach when it comes to psychotherapy while utilizing solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural interventions. I seek to support my clients during their life challenges, transitions, and stressors using neuroplasticity to change self-talk and self-perception. I have experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, abuse, grief, difficult life transitions, as well as clients looking to address feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it can be heard to reach out. I understand how vulnerable that first step can feel - and I also know how meaningful it can be to have a space where you feel understood and supported. If you’re a teen or adult struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or self-esteem, I’m here to help. I also work with athletes (ages 16+) to strengthen the mental side of performance and well-being. This includes exploring identity beyond sport, navigating transitions such as injury or retirement, and addressing perfectionism and burnout.

I work from the perspective that we’re all managing something, no matter what age. Whether it’s worries, relationship challenges, or problems with learning. Sometimes we need help understanding what it is that’s happening for us, while other times we understand the challenge, but not how to make changes. I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to understanding and experiencing your authentic self.
