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.

Learning how to care for ourselves when things get out of hand, how our communication towards ourselves effects us, and implementing change into our lives is easier said then done.

Many clients come to me unsure if their problems are 'bad enough' for therapy - there's no such thing. What matters is if there's something bothering you, why not seek support to get back more joy in your life? This is always my goal with clients. I support my clients with building self-compassion, how to make realistic goals, effective communication, and how to form healthy boundaries. I also have experience working with clients dealing with addiction/substance use disorders. Unpacking trauma and unresolved issues from the past can be very helpful as well - these stories often contain the roots of problems clients face today.

I draw on psychodynamic psychotherapy, while incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches.
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.

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.

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.

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.

You might be navigating ADHD, anxiety, or depression and feeling out of step with everyone around you. You might be a parent trying to understand what your child is experiencing, or an adult facing the pressure of school, career decisions, or figuring out who you are. I work with clients of all ages, drawing on my background as both an educator and a therapist to understand not just what you are feeling, but the systems and pressures shaping it. We start with your nervous system, and build from there."

Sometimes it feels like we are doing everything we can to hold it all together and yet it's not getting any better. You are definitely not alone! I grew up in a small town but moved to Fredericton 12 years ago to acquire my BA in Psychology & Sociology, and my Masters in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in addition to a Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT). When I'm not fuelling my soul with sports, friends/family and some yummy food at a local restaurant, I am in the office doing my dream job of supporting children, youth and adults as they find ways to feel their best.

I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I work with addiction and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as clients navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults building self-understanding. I aim to help clients feel understood while building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies, at a pace that feels right for each person.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
