I am passionate about working with people who are embarking on or already undergoing change, whether that involves loss, identity transitions, personal growth, or any other life passage.
I draw heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other cognitive approaches to help people to understand and navigate their problems using their own thoughts. In doing so I also integrate mindfulness practice and values work, gently leading clients first to consider what is important to them personally, and then to put it into practice.

In my work I support a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, psychosocial stressors, emotional regulation, interpersonal and intrapersonal difficulties, significant life changes (i.e., divorce, co-parenting, relocation etc.), grief (i.e., loss of significant person, animal, job/career, identity, ability, etc.), trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, self-esteem and body image concerns and neurodivergence.
I use an integrative and trauma-informed approach to counselling and am informed in a variety of modalities. I primarily work with clients by using humanistic and psychodynamic approaches, while pulling from modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Mindfulness, Compassion-based and Narrative Therapy.

Life can feel heavy sometimes; maybe you’re going through a big change, struggling with anxiety or depression, trying to manage substance use, or just feeling unsure about who you are and what you’re feeling. Whatever it looks like for you, I want you to know you don’t have to go through it on your own. I support teens and adults (16+) who are navigating all kinds of challenges. My role is to give you a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment, a place where you can show up exactly as you are.

Find your way forward. I believe psychotherapy is an opportunity to find help, hope, and to break apart from unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. It can be a way to take a deep look within your self and at your own pace do real psychological and emotional work. Know that there is help for you! I have been practicing for 12 years and focus specifically on couples/marriage counselling, and men’s issues.

My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!

Therapy that actually gets ADHD.
If you have ADHD, it’s normal to feel unsure about what you need from therapy, especially when most therapists aren’t trained to support neurodivergent minds.
At The Therapy Nest, many of our therapists have lived experience with neurodivergence and are certified ADHD service providers. We're also trauma-informed, which means we create a space that’s not only ADHD-affirming but also deeply safe and sensitive to your past experiences.

My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you are beneath the noise. I tune into what lies beneath the story. My training in energy work and spiritual sensibility allow me to notice the subtle shifts in body language, tone, even silence - creating opportunity to respond in ways that foster deep safety and attunement. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and human-first. I know what it’s like to live in a world that often misunderstands sensitivity, intuition, or intensity and how healing it can be to finally feel seen.

This isn’t how you’d imagined your life. Every day seems a little more difficult, and all those things that you used to enjoy just don’t hit the way they once did. You’re worried all the time, and when you look around you hardly recognize the life you’re living. This isn’t how it was supposed to be.
