I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships. When challenged by the symptoms of AD(H)D, anxiety or depression everyone can become burdened by life's distractions, unable to prioritize and find the time to nurture relationships, pursue personal interests, meet desired goals and find peace and happiness in our day.

Life can be a lot sometimes, can’t it? You might look around and wonder, "How did I get here?" or feel like the way you've been navigating your world just doesn’t fit anymore. Reactions and emotions might feel out of control, like you're stuck in cycles you don’t quite know how to break. Maybe your body is sending you signals—tension, stress, or discomfort—that something's off. Or, you’re facing changes and challenges that feel overwhelming, and it’s just exhausting. Wouldn’t it be nice to allow a little space for ease?

I am passionate about creating relationships and spaces that are authentic, validating and transformative. Rooted in liberation, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care, I center people's experiences, needs, ways of knowing and being as they explore their experiences and new paths to understanding themselves in deeper ways. As a gender expansive Autistic ADHD'er therapist, and survivor of trauma I provide support to other neurodivergent Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people as they (re)define their values and (re)connect with their intuitive sense of themselves and the world around them.

Do you look put-together on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside? Maybe your mind is constantly spinning with “what ifs", or you feel a constant pressure to perform, achieve, and keep everyone else happy. You might find yourself saying yes when you’re already overwhelmed, or shrinking your needs to avoid being a burden. Anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and unsure of who you are beneath the pressure. And the more you hide your struggles, the heavier the stress, isolation, and self-criticism can feel.

My ideal client is someone who has carried far too much for far too long.
They often show up exhausted by cycles they can’t seem to break—whether that’s addiction, trauma patterns, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions.

Do you spend too much time rethinking about the past while feeling anger, shame, sadness, confusion, and guilt? Maybe you grew up in a challenging family environment, struggle to set boundaries, find yourself in painful codependent relationships, and feel responsible for others’ emotions. You’re always in fight-flight-freeze, and can't break the patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (for long). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that work.

My work focuses on supporting mature students, adults, and older adults on issues of anxiety, burnout, perinatal and postpartum, relationship conflict, self-esteem, managing work-life balance or feeling dissatisfaction with life.
Every single one of us experiences life from a unique lens, which is influenced by the various factors in our day-to-day lives. But sometimes, our lens becomes cloudy, making it feel as though we can’t see which direction we’re going. That's where I come in. My approach to psychotherapy focuses on helping clients gain clarity, overcome barriers, and experience positive transformative change towards mental and physical wellness. This is achieved through collaboratively working with clients and providing them with skills, resources, and a safe space to be their true selves.
