I believe there is always hope for healing, for every situation and person; where there's willingness, there is a way forward. I also believe change is always possible, though it may involve small steps taken over time, gradually leading to meaningful, lasting transformation. Healthy connections are essential to healing, and I prioritize creating a safe, compassionate, and trusting therapy relationship, where you can bring all parts of yourself into the room and feel seen, heard, and accepted. My practice is grounded in a holistic understanding of well-being, recognizing that mind, body, relationships, and spirit are interconnected.

On the outside, it looks like you’re thriving—a solid career, big goals, and a busy life. But inside, it’s another story. You’re juggling demanding work responsibilities and family dynamics that sometimes feel impossible to balance. The pressure to succeed professionally while managing relationships, parenting, or family expectations leaves you stretched thin. Your mind races with anxiety, focus is hard to maintain, and unresolved emotions resurface at the worst times. Between work stress, personal struggles, and feeling pulled in every direction, you’re starting to wonder how long you can keep this up.

I’m passionate about working with women who are navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle the demands of motherhood, relationships, and self-identity. The challenges of this life transition can be unexpected, creating feelings of anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, guilt, loneliness and resentment. It's easy to feel like you are not doing enough in a society that has constant parenting advice and impossible expectations. If you are feeling the weight of all of this, you deserve a space to process and make sense of it all.

Are you looking for support with relationship challenges, managing anxiety, or exploring self-identity?

No matter who we are, or how far we’ve traveled in this world, there are times when we all feel stuck. During these difficult stretches, we may feel disconnected from the world around us, and from ourselves. This can lead to a sense that we are undeserving of relief or that meaningful change is out of reach. And yet, somehow we find a way to persevere, and we take the brave step of seeking out care and understanding.

We know that life can be very challenging at times and that the obstacles can seem overwhelming when facing them on your own. The therapists at Spacious Mind Counselling have been through their own trials and tribulations and have benefited from their own personal therapy during difficult times. We know that you are the expert in your life and that with the right conditions you can overcome the obstacles and challenges. We aim to provide a safe, non judgemental space where you can begin to understand the challenges for what they are and get back to living a rich and meaning full life. We do this by listening, asking questions and then creating goals with you that are in line with your values. Sometimes skills and tools are needed and other times processing traumas and unresolved emotions are needed. We will always follow your lead and provide insight and knowledge when you need it during sessions.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns they understand but still struggle to change. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who feel emotionally numb, reactive, or frustrated in their relationships.
My work is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and collaborative. Therapy is a space to slow things down and understand how past experiences shape the ways you cope, relate, and respond today. We focus on building insight with compassion, so change feels possible rather than overwhelming.

My work centers on meeting each client's needs with a lighthearted, humorous approach. As a Gen Z therapist, I help clients make progress and understand what change means for them. I use a DBT and ACT-informed approach, combined with insights into psychological development, attachment, and somatics, to create tools that improve their lives. My background in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies gives me an intersectional feminist lens for working with diverse groups. If you feel stuck in your past and want to move towards being present in the now I may be able to help.
