My approach to therapy is humanistic; I see each individual as inherently whole, capable, and worthy of growth. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, develop self-awareness, identify meaning in their life, highlight patterns of behaviour, and foster meaningful change. Everyone has unique strengths that can be identified and leveraged to navigate life’s challenges and reach their goals. I welcome clients from all walks of life to provide them with unconditional support.

I provide a neuro-informed space for parents (at any age or stage), youth (8+), and teens.
With 20+ years in education and child development (M.S.Ed, MACP), I know every child and family is unique, requiring tailored support. For under-8s, I offer caregiver-led strategies. For youth 8+, individual sessions include family collaboration to build tools and skills. I also support parents with burnout, stress, and school advocacy for IEPs.

I love working with youth, adults, and relationships (including non-monogamous folks).
In terms of treatment, my areas of specialty include ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, body image, self-esteem, neurodivergent coping strategies, grief, trauma, and navigating gender and sexual identities. My approach is always trauma-informed, intersectional, and cognizant of power structures and the social determinants of health.

It takes courage to look inward. When you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, numb, anxious, or weighed down by grief or depression, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore those feelings together. Many people come to therapy carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, relationship issues, parenting stress, low self-esteem, or symptoms of PTSD. These patterns often show up in our relationships, where early emotional dynamics repeat in familiar but painful ways. Together, we’ll explore these patterns and walk alongside one another to open space for change, supporting your journey toward healing and a more authentic self.

Accepting new clients. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, ADHD, or ongoing relationship difficulties. In therapy, attention is given to what tends to repeat, what feels stuck, and what emerges in the space between us as we work together. Over time, this becomes a space to understand your experience more deeply and to begin living life with greater clarity, steadiness, and choice.

Neurofeedback & Trauma Therapy: The impacts of trauma rewire the brain and nervous system to experience the world as a threatening place. This adaptation alters how we relate to ourselves and others, and it leads us away from authentic identity. Trauma includes events like past childhood abuse, emotional neglect, grief, rejection, chronic pain and illness, to name a few. You may become stressed, anxious, experience intrusive thoughts, fear, and rage. You may feel alone, easily triggered, trapped, and like there’s a void within—like you just can’t be yourself again. Yet, you have no clue that it all stems from unprocessed trauma.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. I work with individuals who are looking to better understand themselves, shift unhelpful patterns, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Often, the way we think about ourselves can quietly hold us back — leading to self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and a sense of disconnection from who we truly are. In our work together, we will explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, while gently challenging the beliefs that may no longer be serving you.

There is wisdom in your story, even in the chapters that feel confusing, painful, or unfinished. Anxiety, overthinking, emotional exhaustion, difficulty sleeping, or a constant sense of needing to stay alert often have purpose behind them. Many of the people I work with are carrying a great deal quietly while trying to hold everything together for everyone else. Therapy provides a space to slow down, make sense of these patterns, and explore the story beneath the symptoms. Through that process, greater clarity, self understanding, and new possibilities can begin to emerge.
