I believe everyone can benefit from working with a therapist. It provides an opportunity to talk openly and confidentially with someone whose sole intent is to form an alliance with you, about you and for your wellbeing. I hope to guide you through any personal pain or suffering you may be experiencing and to help you gain clarity around your thoughts and emotions. I teach clients how to be with and process their emotions and to recognize nervous system dysregulation, negative thought patterns and potential trauma responses. Compassionately, we look at trauma and any adaptive coping mechanisms as your psyche's way of protecting you.

Healing from trauma and challenging patterns can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You might face repeating cycles in relationships, struggles with boundaries, addiction, or intense emotions that feel unmanageable. I support adults in creating lasting change by blending EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, and psychodynamic approaches, exploring root causes and transforming old patterns. I also integrate somatic work, including Yin Yoga, to help you reconnect with your body and regulate emotions. You deserve to feel seen, understood, and supported on your healing journey.

Being vulnerable with anyone can feel really scary at times so I commend you for your bravery in taking this first step toward caring for your mental health. Beginning therapy or even looking for a therapist can be overwhelming, but reaching out for support is an important act of self-care.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I tailor therapy to each individual. Human beings are diverse and dynamic, and your mental health care should reflect that. I specialize in working with individuals and young adults, particularly trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and resilience development

Maybe you're here because you and your partner keep having the same argument, and you're both tired of it. Or maybe it's just you - feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to feel steady again. Either way, you don't need to have it all figured out to start. You just need a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way back - to your relationship, or to yourself.

With a unique background in business, coaching, and psychology, I support professionals and executives and help them thrive and succeed in their careers, work, and personal lives. In collaborating together, we may focus on various areas, including career transitions, leadership development, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and other workplace-related issues -- or simply to identify and tap into their full potential to realize desired goals. Our work generally results in deeper insights into themselves with more expansive perspectives of the world. This empowers clients to move forward with more meaning and purpose.

A truth of life is that painful things happen—and when they do, we often carry emotional residue like grief, anxiety, despair, or relationship struggles. These deeply personal experiences shape who we are and impact how we connect with others and ourselves.
Therapy with me offers a space to let go of pretense and return to your true self. Together, we’ll explore and shift what’s holding you back from living with more intention, connection, and calm. You’ll have the opportunity to feel more at home in your body, regain a sense of safety, and uncover new ways to move through the world with strength and clarity.

Are you are in crisis, struggling with an on-going issue or seeking to be free of restrictive emotional patterns/responses? If so, I can help you move from a place of limitation, to one of possibility and choice. Psychotherapy can provide wonderful benefit with long-term results.

Life can hand us twists and turns we don't expect or want. We can react in ways we don't understand and wish we could change. We wonder what it all means and how to find hope.
As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Psychospiritual Therapist, I help with life's harder passages — grief, loss, and major transitions — the moments that ask who we are and what matters. Psychospiritual therapy speaks not to a particular belief but to how we answer 'why?' — especially in times of loss and change.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, secrets, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions!
