Taking Mat Leave at end of June - Accepting new clients until end of March - - I specialize in supporting folks to improve their relationships, whether with themselves or others. I help individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional reactivity, negative thoughts, and emotional wounds from the past. With couples, we work on emotional regulation, understanding destructive and unhelpful behaviour, and improving communication. I specialize in helping clients understand themselves better, get unstuck from undesirable patterns, heal emotional wounds, experience more calm, and improve confidence & self-acceptance.
We often start by exploring your life - past experiences, important relationships, your childhood and your current circumstance. I believe it’s important for everyone to have their stories heard and to feel understood. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates talk therapy with experiential, body-centered mindfulness practices and psychoeducation.
I love helping folks understand themselves better - their emotions, thoughts, behaviours and patterns. We will explore your inner world deeply, integrating the most recent neuroscience on the brain and nervous system. We'll also unpack how your past has shaped your present. If this sounds like something you're looking for, please reach out today!

I tailor my approach to each of my clients, focusing first on the therapeutic alliance. Once I better understand you, we will approach the issues from whatever angle resonates best. We might incorporate elements of cognitive, somatic or experiential therapy, always with your goals in mind. I believe strongly in developing our capacity for mindfulness and offer psychoeducation when relevant.
