Feeling overwhelmed due to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the effects of gaslighting and manipulation? My aim to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as we work towards your healing and change. I draw from years of experience in helping women, men, and teens who have faced betrayal and relational trauma and narcissistic abuse. I know that it is not easy to maintain boundaries, deciding the future of a relationship, and navigating the unknown future. Which is why, I offer a calm, compassionate space to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and rebuild confidence to navigate the hard stuff.

As a parent, it can be difficult to watch your child have a hard time and not know how to help. Maybe anxiety, phobias, or OCD might be getting in the way of everyday life. Or maybe big emotions are leading to meltdowns or conflict. You may be noticing changes in your child’s mood, confidence, relationships, or ability to enjoy the things they once loved. And despite trying your best, you may still feel unsure of what they need.

We are all evolving! Many people seek my support when they’re facing a challenge in their lives. Interestingly, the word "crisis" originates from a term meaning "turning point." If you're experiencing a pivotal moment, I can help you navigate the complexities that come with it. During times of crisis, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by emotional and mental confusion, making it difficult to process what’s happening. Therapy provides a space to untangle these emotions and thoughts, guiding you toward greater clarity and self-awareness. Embracing this awareness can open the door to new perspectives and possibility.

When you are dealing with complex mental health struggles, relationship friction, or intense life shifts, it is easy to feel stuck in patterns you can't seem to break on your own. You don’t need to have a perfect explanation of what is wrong before you reach out, nor do you need to sit through therapy that just talks in circles. My goal is to help you cut through the mental clutter, clarify exactly what is happening, and build a strategic way forward.

You might be carrying the weight of never feeling fully accepted. When you've spent so much of your life adapting to belong, it's easy to lose sight of yourself. I believe therapy can be a space to reconnect with who you are and heal the parts of yourself that once felt unsafe being fully seen or loved without conditions.
While I welcome adults from all backgrounds, I have a particular passion for supporting queer, racialized, and neurodivergent individuals navigating identity, self-worth, relationships, and life transitions.

I believe each of us is doing the best we can in life, given the tools we have. However, when life gets overwhelming, we may feel stuck and wish things were different—it might be easy to focus on what needs to change, yet we may feel unable to make changes. As a therapist, I help clients add to their toolkit, equipping them to manage challenges while also empowering them to recognize and access the strengths already within them. I believe each person is resilient and can grow and thrive, even if they need help along the way. Reaching out is the first (and often hardest) step, and I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

My approach to therapy is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a belief in your capacity for change. I strive to create a space where you feel understood and supported as we work collaboratively toward meaningful growth.

On the outside you look unstoppable: confident, independent, the one who always keeps it together. But no one sees that beneath the surface, you feel like you drowning in a secret struggle. You’re exhausted from fighting invisible battles. Perhaps you grapple with trust issues, irritability, grief, inexplicable anxiety, feelings of detachment from those around you, or even yourself. Or maybe you are stuck in cycles of high adrenaline followed by exhaustion, relying on caffeine, sleep aids, or binge eating just to get through the day. What once helped you to survive has now become a pattern that is seriously keeping you stuck

Sep 2026 - Now accepting new clients. You can sense the undercurrent at dinner before the fight starts. You pre-apologize for things that aren't your fault, smile when you're devastated, and "I'm fine" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your vocabulary. Your jaw has probably been clenched since yesterday and you didn't notice until just now. You're the obvious emergency contact for your loved ones - but who can YOU truly rely on? You've read the attachment books. You've done the breathwork. You can name the trauma response you're having WHILE you're having it. The self-awareness is there, it's just not creating lasting change
