I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, emotional overwhelm, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I understand that these struggles rarely happen in isolation, and I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you better understand patterns, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful change that feels realistic and sustainable in your everyday life.
I specialize in addiction, substance use, anxiety, depression, and concurrent disorders. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction, and trauma-informed therapy to support emotional regulation, coping, recovery, and meaningful change.
Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been trying to manage things on your own. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and free from judgment. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can start where you are, work together to understand what’s going on, and find a way forward.
