Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to change, moving through a life transition, or simply noticing that something in your life does not feel the way you want it to. My hope is to offer a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are and where we can make sense of things together. I work with people who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, self esteem challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties.
You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We start where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is humanistic and client centred, which means I see you as the expert in your own life. At the same time, I am not a therapist who only listens quietly.
I believe growth happens through honesty and reflection. I will support you with warmth and care, and when it is helpful, I will also gently challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Our work together is always shaped around you as an individual.

I work with clients who are struggling with feeling stuck, low mood, negative self-talk and personal relationship issues. Together we identify areas of your life where you are feeling dissatisfaction and build a plan that allows you to move towards the type of life you want to be leading - while navigating the aspects of life we can't control! I work hard to help clients live authentically!

Above all I take a person-centered approach focusing on my client's therapeutic goals and experiences, developing personalized treatment plans. I use tangible tools, exercises and coping mechanisms from behavioural frameworks to help manage mood (CBT, ACT, etc.), in addition to talk therapy techniques (motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, etc.) to go deeper in our work together.
