Are you overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in unhealthy relationships, or struggling with addictive behaviours? You may find temporary relief through certain habits, but the emptiness always returns. You might wonder if anyone truly understands or loves the real you. Shame, guilt, and lack of safety may be holding you back. It doesn’t have to be this way. Let's work together to break free from these cycles and help you regain control, feel understood, empowered, and "back to good" - whatever that means for you.

I focus on helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, eating disorders, relationships struggles, and addiction. Clients come to me for a relatable, bubbly, yet direct therapist who offers support and humour. In our sessions, we address serious topics while creating space for lighthearted moments, making change feel more manageable.

Taking the first step toward better wellness can be scary - I get it! But a life of balance and fulfillment is possible. You don’t have to continue feeling overwhelmed or anxious, and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know one another! I can't wait to hear from you!
