I work with teens (14+) and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, trauma, depression, identity, and emotion regulation. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I draw on Person-Centered approaches, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Brainspotting to help clients build self-understanding, resilience, and practical coping skills. Therapy with me is a space to be real, explore what’s getting in the way, and move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected.
I support individuals navigating trauma, depression, challenging emotions, identity and the stress of being yourself in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. Using a collaborative and trauma-informed approach, I help clients process their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop boundaries that honor their needs and values.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, I’m here to meet you with compassion and curiosity. You deserve a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. If you're ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.
