As we move through life, we will inevitably run into turbulence that needs navigating. I believe that each individual holds the power within themselves to move forward and achieve desired change. My passion for mental health and human rights has informed my desire to practise psychotherapy. Equipped with a compassionate, culturally sensitive and intersectional approach, I consider all facets of a client's identity and views, as they are contributing factors to their lived experience.

My treatment approach focuses on two areas to help you with your current difficulties. The first is a focus on identifying what I call your "backstory"- meaning the experiences you have had with people throughout your life. We all learn certain patterns of how to be with other people, and how to regard ourselves, from our "backstory." Sometimes these patterns interfere with our ability to lead mentally healthy and fulfilling lives.

It's a new year, and many of us will be feeling the push to make changes in our lives, whereas others might be feeling overwhelmed by the "new year, new me" mentality. I'm ready to meet you exactly where you are. My therapeutic style is warm, accepting, flexible and conversational. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and I approach our work together with curiosity and humility. As a queer and neurodivergent woman, I understand how the systems we live within shape our lives, and am committed to an intersectional, feminist, anti-oppressive approach to therapy.

Depression, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions can feel like they will be hanging around forever. Relationships, family responsibilities and workplace concerns can feel unworkable. Traumatic memories can be intrusive and exhausting. With the right support, this does not have to be the case. In therapy, you will strengthen the self-compassion and emotional resilience you need in order to ride the waves of life. I work with individuals using a blend of approaches including EMDR, IFS, body-based interventions and mindfulness skills. I offer a safe, warm and non-judgmental space to accompany you through this process.
