The human experience is messy, non-linear, and excruciatingly lonely at times. Life can be confusing and challenging to navigate. Having another human truly see us – our strengths and our struggles – creates an experience of being witnessed with compassion. It creates a felt sense of safety and validation through which we can begin relating differently to ourselves and to one another. This belief is foundational to who I am, how I show up in the world, and the way in which I work therapeutically with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages.

I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma, integrating approaches such as ACT and DBT.
I work with adults who are struggling internally but still functioning in their day-to-day lives. They may be dealing with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, or significant life transitions, and often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating the same patterns despite insight. I help clients understand the processes of maintaining these patterns—across thoughts, emotions, and behaviours—and work with them to create meaningful, lasting change through a structured, intentional approach.

My work with individuals primarily relies on Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Trauma-informed, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
A lot of the challenges we face—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, or feeling like a fraud—come from the state of our relationships, both with others and with ourselves. We live our lives in connection with other people, and it’s almost impossible not to be affected by how others see us. When we try too hard to avoid rejection, it can actually hold us back from living in a way that feels true and meaningful. This can leave us feeling even more unsure of ourselves—especially if we've been in toxic or abusive relationships.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
