Are you struggling with your relationships or to manage your own emotions? Deep down do you know you could be happier? If you can imagine something has to change, I am interested in helping you do that. My approach is gentle and non-confrontational. As a therapist, I ask thought-provoking questions that help you explore your feelings, perceptions and your understanding of yourself. Together we look at patterns and behaviours that may not be serving you. We try to make sense of what shaped you and what is important to you now. I want you to feel more content and more connected to yourself and your loved ones.

Welcome! Let me start out by telling you what I tell all my potential clients: Therapy is such an individual process and so much of it has to do with finding the right therapist. Many of us have similar training and areas of expertise but we all differ in personality. I want to use this space here to give you an idea of my vibe and approach. I’m a little quirky with a gentle approach and strong ability to challenge you and explore with you. I can sit with you in heavy spaces, difficult feelings, and complex thoughts.
