You might be feeling restless or uneasy, like you can’t fully trust your own body or emotions. Maybe your thoughts are racing, or you feel disconnected—from yourself, your body, or the people you care about. Life happens, and sometimes our minds and bodies need time to catch up. Experiences like trauma or unexpected life changes can leave us feeling uncertain, alone, or unsafe in the world. We all carry experiences that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but together, we can create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to reconnect with yourself.
I have over eight years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families. Over the years, I’ve supported people through a wide range of experiences, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also have experience working with individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities such as autism (ASD), and FASD.
Reaching out for help can feel scary and uncertain. My hope is to offer a calm and welcoming space where you can land softly and begin to work through life’s ups and downs. I know that taking the first step can be the hardest. With a gentle presence and compassionate support, I’ll walk alongside you as you move toward your best, whole self.

It takes time to build a relationship and to feel safe in a therapeutic space, especially after traumatic experiences that have left you feeling unsure of your thoughts, feelings, or body sensations. Therapy will go at your pace, while working towards your goals. I will work alongside you to build safety and security to dig deep into what brought you to reach out for support.

I am a believer that what works for one person does not work for everyone. I like to take an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating several modalities to find what works best for you. With DBT and mindfulness, we can work to tolerate emotions better and find new coping strategies. With CBT, we can examine how your thoughts are impacting your mood & behaviors. With ACT, we can break patterns.
