The quality of the relationships we have with ourselves and others really determines the quality of our lives. I believe that within the right therapeutic relationship we can understand the origins of our feelings, impulses, patterns and reactions and begin to feel more in control. I enjoy working with individuals and families who are seeking to deepen their sense of peace within themselves and their relationships.

Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others, find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness and peace of mind. If you are recovering from trauma, if you are stuck or struggling, therapy can create a safe space to work through painful and difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. As a therapist and supervisor of other therapists, I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion and relational therapy.

Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who is passionate about supporting clients to navigate challenging life events, explore their identity and address mental health concerns. I am a neurodivergent, queer woman with french ancestry. I live on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis peoples.

I also integrate psychodynamic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural, mindfulness-based, and somatic therapies to explore how you think, feel, relate, and respond.
Many thoughtful, capable people function well outwardly, yet privately feel stuck, overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from themselves. Struggling — and healing — are deeply human experiences. We all want to feel better and live with a greater sense of ease. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and families affected by addiction, as well as concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, body image, self-worth, and self-esteem.

My goal is to create a collaborative therapeutic space where you are the expert in your own life. Together, we will explore the stories that shape your experiences, recognizing how struggles can create dominant narratives that overshadow your strengths, values, and preferred ways of being. Therapy is a space to reclaim your voice, rediscover your skills and knowledge, and examine how power, identity, and social and cultural contexts shape life’s challenges. I believe that people are not problems—problems are problems, and together, we can create new possibilities for healing and change

Do you have a child that struggles to understand their own emotions? Do they feel stuck in a moment or feeling that they can’t move past? Has this stopped them from relating to and finding connection with the people in your life? Maybe your child has tried counselling before but found that talking alone didn’t bring the healing or relief they needed. The holistic approach of music therapy can help to overcome emotional pain, disconnect, and numbness, and can increase a sense of purpose in the world. My unique approach blends talk therapy with body-based methods of somatic and music therapy to support the body-mind connection.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
