I specialize in helping individuals navigate various challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal concerns, and body image dissatisfaction.
I am currently a Master’s level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved practicum Supervisor. I recognize that feeling stuck is a universal human experience, one that can overwhelm individuals amidst life’s daily challenges. Often, what holds us back isn’t just the visible issue at hand, but the intricate web of emotions and past experiences woven beneath it. In my practice, I cultivate a supportive and non-judgmental space where individuals can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and therapeutic goals.

I currently offer individual psychological services to adults facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and other life transitions.
In order to navigate difficult life experiences, people often develop patterns of thinking and behaving that are helpful in those difficult moments. When we keep using these patterns they are often no longer helpful in day-to-day life. Together we can work to uncover patterns that are no longer helping you thrive in your life and ways to start changing them. I use an attachment and trauma-focused approach to therapy to create a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted to start their therapy journey.
