The ways we learn to cope often make perfect sense given what we have been through. Over time, those same patterns can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, infidelity, and the lasting effects of sexual abuse and assault. If you are caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or carrying something that has never felt fully safe to explore, this is a space built for exactly that work.

Many people have already talked their stories through. The goal here isn’t to endlessly process - it’s to heal. We go beneath coping and analysis, carefully deconstruct what’s holding you in place and rebuild from the foundation up. I am a Registered Psychotherapist supporting adults, couples, and adolescents through trauma, neurodivergence, self-esteem issues, life transitions, abuse, and attachment-based challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Many of my clients have experienced therapy before but are ready for a deeper layer of healing. I provide a comforting space to heal while growing.

I work with clients of various background such as veterans and individuals who have experienced traumatic events, and clients who are curious about somatic psychotherapeutic approaches (mind-body connection).
My clients are often looking for a deeper exploration of unmet needs and resolution of symptoms stemming from various challenging experiences throughout their lives.

My practice supports late-identified autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, whether self-identified or formally diagnosed. You might feel overstimulated or overwhelmed, or find that what you’re able to do doesn’t match what you want to do, or what others expect of you. Many of the people I see feel chronically misunderstood, self-critical, or burned out from years of adapting to meet expectations that don’t fit who they are.

Currently accepting new clients. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Licensed Counselling Therapist that provides individual mental health counselling to teens and young adults between 16-25 years of age. The transition into adulthood can be a challenging time, where you can feel overwhelmed by the demands of school, personal relationships, living independently away from family and the uncertainty of future goals.

“Healing is a journey, not a destination.” Stepping into therapy requires courage. Choosing to pause, reflect, and explore the parts of ourselves that feel heavy or uncertain is rarely a straight path. It is often layered, winding, and deeply personal. I honour the bravery it takes to begin.I approach therapy from a collaborative and client-centred lens, creating a space that feels calm, grounded, and genuinely non-judgmental. I believe meaningful work happens when clients feel safe enough to show up as they are without pressure to perform, explain, or have everything figured out.

I care deeply about giving folks a space to be heard and seen. I believe that the beauty of therapy lies in the growth and transformation that becomes possible when people experience safe, caring presence —both within themselves and with others. I am passionate about working with folks struggling with anxiety, trauma, panic disorder, OCD, and depression. I also find deep meaning in accompanying people grappling with big, existential questions. My ideal client is interested in self-exploration and sees change as a complex and multifacted process that involves many angles and layers.

As of April 1st, I will be taking on in-person clients down Fredericton.
It can be difficult to reach out to a professional to open up about your inner world and learning to trust a therapist can be unnerving. A lot of people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little to no opportunity for interaction or authentic connection. Although calling a therapist can be intimidating, I don't believe therapy has to be an intimidating process. I can assure you that as a practitioner, I use a warm empathic approach to connect. Life is too precious to surrender to unhealthy relationships, low self-worth, addiction, and trauma.

Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, perfectionism, work stress, and relationship challenges. My clients often arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to trust their own voice or feel confident in who they are. Whether you are dealing with social pressure, family dynamics, dating, or the quiet weight of self-criticism, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.

You might be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck or unsure of yourself. I work with adolescents and adults aged 13 and up on a range of concerns including relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, and the kind of stress that builds quietly until it becomes hard to ignore. My clients often arrive knowing something needs to change but not quite knowing where to start. That is exactly where we begin, together, at a pace that works for you.

You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of the people I work with are navigating something quieter but just as heavy: a transition they did not expect, a pattern they cannot seem to break, a version of themselves they are trying to grow into. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across all stages of life. Whether a child building confidence, a teen finding their footing socially, or an adult moving through change and uncertainty, I meet each person where they are and build from there.
