I have over 25 years of experience working with youth and adults, exploring barriers to success at school, work and home.
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. To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

Having experienced the depths of grief, heartbreak, and loss of my sense of self- I understand how dark, isolating and impossible it can feel. The hopelessness, anxiety, and pain that can come from these experiences can leave us questioning so much, not knowing how or where to start with our healing. With therapy, we are able to address the complexity of our emotions and find the support we need, to grow, heal and to reconnect with ourselves. My own journey of learning to access my inner resources is what motivated me to empower and guide others on their journey of self discovery and healing.

I have an MEd in Counselling and have over 17 years experience as a psychotherapist working with adults, teens and couples.
Clients work with me to support them when they are feeling stuck; or faced with decision making and change which is weighing on them; or through times of distress in relationships, with career transitions or career development, parenting or life in general. Clients also work with me when they are being proactive with their emotional and mental health and want to stay focussed on their wellbeing. Whatever brings you to this place you are welcome. Setting up a free 15 minute phone consult is the first step. This allows us to both see if how I work could be a good fit for you at this time.

I work with driven individuals who want to grow, yet may find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated that they aren’t showing up the way they know they can. I believe meaningful change is ALWAYS possible. In our work together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and help you move toward it, even when your mind tries to pull you off course. My approach draws heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on learning to accept what we cannot control while committing to act on what truly matters.

Whether you are a parent searching for support for your teenager, a young adult navigating a messy life transition, or an adult looking to process grief and rebuild self-compassion, you don't have to carry it alone.
Do you know you need therapy, but the thought of sitting face-to-face talking about your feelings for an hour sounds exhausting or incredibly awkward? Maybe you can talk circles around your problems but still feel completely stuck, or you simply don’t have the words to describe the heavy stress you’re carrying. Through Art Therapy, I support individuals 12+, navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-harm, and major life transitions. Rather than treating you like a checklist of symptoms, we use the creative process to bypass the analytical mind and process emotional pain without any pressure on the final artwork.

I offer several modalities that can clear these traumatic memories, so you can live a life that is free from these incidents and with more peace.

Together, we get to know your inner world, so you can begin to trust yourself — and even like who you are. From that place, real healing becomes possible as you learn to rely on yourself to grow and change.

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?

There are moments in life and relationships where things can start to feel tangled, disconnected, uncertain, or quietly painful. You may be struggling to communicate with a partner, navigating changes in sexual connection, adjusting to illness or loss, feeling overwhelmed within family dynamics, or seeking to understand yourself more clearly in the middle of a hard experience. Therapy work with me can become a space where you are not left holding all of that on your own, and where those experiences can be shared, understood, and worked through in relationship. I work with clients in office, online, and with selective outdoor spots.

The world is on fire, social media says you’re behind, and every decision feels high-stakes. Rent? Wild... Job security? Questionable... Anxiety? Through the roof! You’re trying to build a career, afford a life, and keep it together while your brain spirals nonstop. You overthink every move, compare yourself constantly, and feel behind even though you’re doing what you’re ‘supposed’ to be doing. You second guess yourself constantly and the future feels overwhelming instead of exciting.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
