It might be hard to imagine what “better “ might feel like, or to think about what life might be like without having to struggle with anxiety, depression or panic. Clients often come to my office having spent a long time learning to use skills to manage their symptoms, but were never told it was possible to heal from them. I work alongside clients to support them in gaining new insights and to heal the ways their bodies have held onto past experiences to resolve their symptoms. With the right tools and support, change can happen quickly. It can have a lasting and profound effect on your life.

My areas of focus include body image, body dysmorphia, body trust, body liberation, body acceptance, body neutrality, eating disorders/disordered eating, shame, sexuality, gender, self actualization, identity, depression, anxiety, and anything else that the body experiences and holds. My work is rooted in self-compassion; that is the foundation upon which all good and sustainable things are built.

I believe that therapy should be a non-judgmental, collaborative experience, where you can comfortably uncover and confront the obstacles preventing you from living the life you deserve. My goal is to provide a non- judgmental, compassionate, trauma-informed, queer positive, gender affirming, respectful space that is inclusive to all.

Are you feeling anxious, frustrated, stuck or unsure? Are you tired of dealing with the same old issues in your relationships? Do you feel weighed down and “never enough”? Do you wonder: Is life supposed to be this hard? You know something’s not working, but you're not sure what to do about it. I'm so glad you’re here. Searching for a counsellor means you sense an important truth: sometimes you need to connect with another person, who cares and understands, in order to heal and move forward. I can help you honestly examine what's going on, identify what's important to you, and start creating a more authentic and fulfilling life.
