I believe healing happens in connection. We’re not meant to face pain, grief, or change in isolation — and therapy can offer a space to be met with care, curiosity, and respect for your full story.
With over ten years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve supported children, youth, adults, couples, and families across a variety of settings, including private practice, community agencies, residential care, and group therapy. I’ve helped clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, and more.
My approach is collaborative and honours your lived experience, inner wisdom, and capacity to heal. Together, we'll examine emotional patterns, beliefs, and relationship dynamics to deepen self-understanding, while integrating psychoeducation, practical skills, and evidence-based strategies for resilience and meaningful change.
It has been an honour to accompany clients through their most vulnerable and transformative moments, witnessing their courage, creativity, and strength, even in the face of struggle. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin — we can start exactly where you are.
