Thanks for being here! I take a warm, person-centred and relational approach to therapy, where the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work together. I believe that feeling safe, seen, and understood is what allows meaningful change to happen. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, and feel supported as we make sense of your experiences together.
My approach is eclectic and flexible, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based theories, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and other modalities depending on what feels most helpful for you. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model; therapy is something we shape together based on your needs, strengths, and goals.
I work with individuals navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, life transitions, grief, sexuality, and identity exploration. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply, I’m here to support you in moving toward a more connected and fulfilling life.
