As a psychotherapist, my perspective on healing is that we all have within us what we are searching, but we need help in uncovering and recovering that innate knowledge. Let me help you learn to find that knowledge. I see adults individually or within a couple both in person and for online sessions. I provide an empathetic and safe space combined with real practical and tangible support and advice.

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost in a version of your life that no longer fits?
You’ve been holding so much — the expectations, the emotions, the invisible weight of everyone else’s needs. You might feel exhausted trying to keep it together, grateful yet angry, high-functioning on the outside but quietly unraveling inside. Life transitions - whether related to perinatal stages, identity, relationships, or loss — often bring these patterns to the surface, along with the inner critic whispering, “You're not enough."

I use an integrative approach including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety and OCD.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you have felt misunderstood, judged, or unseen in other spaces. You may be navigating anxiety, OCD, panic, questions around identity, relationships, or self worth. I work with clients seeking therapy that feels affirming, non judgmental, and grounded in emotional safety, where you do not need to explain or defend who you are in order to be supported.

Through somatic practices, emotional attunement, and sound, we gently support your nervous system to soften—allowing for deeper healing and integration.
It’s undeniable—the world is changing. Life can feel increasingly stressful, overwhelming, and loud. Amid constant distractions, it’s easy to lose connection with yourself and your inner voice. This disconnection often shows up in subtle ways—saying yes when you mean no, staying in draining situations, ignoring your gut, or overthinking decisions and seeking reassurance that you’re making the “right” choice. These challenges don’t just live in your thoughts and emotions, they also show up in the body. The tightness in your chest or the knot in your stomach may seem to come out of nowhere, but it’s simply your body’s voice.

I can use my background in addictions and faith studies, as well as my training in mental-health first aid, TF-CBT, and trauma specialization, to work with your concerns regarding anxiety, depression, racial trauma, religious trauma, adoptee trauma, self-esteem, burnout, life transitions, somatic work, and much more!
Reaching out for help regarding our mental health isn’t easy. Often times we wrestle with stigmas, stereotypes, low self-esteem, and/or beliefs that therapy is a sign of weakness. I’ve made it my goal to create a safe, open, informative and transformative space for people to work towards mental, physical, and emotional wellness, and grow more into the person they want and were created to be. Often times we feel stuck or burnt by situations and experiences in life, and it becomes difficult to reach out. My desire is that you would allow me the opportunity to come alongside of you and help you move from overwhelmed to overcoming!

This will include elements of Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Somatic approaches, CBT, DBT and narrative therapy.
You’ve been through experiences that still affect how safe, connected, or confident you feel, especially in your body and relationships. Maybe you notice tension that never seems to go away, your heart racing for no reason, or a sense of numbness or disconnection. Trauma often shows up in the body long after the event has passed, influencing how we think, feel, and relate to others. You might be longing to feel calm again, to trust your body, enjoy closeness, and move through life without the past constantly resurfacing.

Mind-body work: Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, EMDR, somatic therapy, Emotional Transformation Therapy and neurofeedback training
As a Registered Psychotherapist and trauma-informed therapist, I bring over twenty years of experience in mental health, specialising in anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, attachment, couples, men's issues, and first responders.
I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. Here you are encouraged to express yourself freely, without fear of judgement, and feeling heard is fundamental to our well-being. But being heard is where the work begins, not where it ends. From that foundation we go deeper, to the emotions, beliefs and patterns at the root of what brought you here.

Let’s get this clear from the start: you aren’t ill, disordered, or flawed. You’re a human living in a world that creates constant stress and demands perfection.

If everyday life feels overwhelming, exhausting, or harder than it seems for others, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, or patterns that may be connected to ADHD or past experiences. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s getting in the way, and experiment with practical tools that fit your life — without pressure to have everything figured out.

You deserve to be supported through a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Together we can talk about challenges like lack of motivation, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. It can be frustrating when one or many aspects of your life, such as work, family dynamics, or even sexual health, are causing those difficult feelings. Together, we can explore strategies to help manage the challenges AND find ways to live more meaningfully—whatever that means for you.

Early life experiences are foundational in our development. Mental health and addiction are often symptoms of repressed emotions related to underlying issues and unmet needs. This can hold us hostage, interfering in our ability to live fulfilling lives and develop meaningful connections with others. It is common to have developed and maintained coping mechanisms that no longer serve a purpose yet have become habitual and with that familiar.
Therapy is a place where thoughts and feelings are explored, validated, and with that normalized. Healing occurs through self-discovery and the sense of empowerment that accompanies this.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
