You don't have to have it all figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of your experiences, you don't have to carry it alone. I work with youth (14+) and adults navigating trauma, depression, identity, sexuality, and overwhelming emotions. My approach is person-centered and emotion-focused, but what matters most is that I show up as a human first: curious, genuine, and without judgment.
I help clients make sense of their emotions, understand their patterns, and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with more confidence and self-compassion. My work supports clients in building healthier relationships with themselves and others while creating space for both growth and humour.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re unsure where to start. You don’t need to have everything figured out or come prepared with the “right” things to say. We can begin with whatever is showing up for you. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I welcome you to reach out and see if working together feels like the right fit.
