As a clinical supervisor, I am fueled by a deep empathy for the challenges therapists face every day. I know firsthand the heavy weight of imposter syndrome, the demands of our own personal histories as it comes up in relation to client work, and the struggle to master complex clinical skills. Because of my own experiences with "not-so-great supervision," I am committed to providing the high-quality, formative guidance I wish I had received. My passion is to help my supervisees grow beyond feeling stuck in their cases and towards a place of confident, bold, and compassionate practice.

I have extensive experience supporting people in their emerging and early years of adulthood, and are seeking to better understand their mental health, adapt to life changes, navigate relationships, or explore their identity.
My approach is rooted in intersectional, systemic, anti-oppressive, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed and compassion-focused frameworks. My experience has been that integrating these frameworks with evidence-based modalities allows for authentic growth and change. I incorporate CBT, MBCT, DBT, Solutions-focused and Narrative Therapy into my practice.

I have 15 years of experience working with adults in private practice, university counselling, and community settings, supporting clients affected by interpersonal and sociocultural trauma, and navigating a range of life crises and mental health challenges.
People often come to therapy with experiences such as anxiety, emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. Sometimes these concerns are clear, and sometimes they feel harder to name. Many notice recurring patterns in their lives, finding themselves in similar dynamics without fully understanding why. I think of therapy as a process that can open up the possibility of repairing disrupted connections with ourselves, others, and the world. It is a space where one’s story can be heard and felt more closely, and where the relationship to that story can gradually shift and transform.

There are many sound reasons why people choose therapy. Some find therapy to be a safe place for deepening their self-awareness. Others find therapy useful for developing skills for improved coping. Additionally, there are those who find that therapy facilitates clearer communication with their loved ones.

I work with adults who are starting to connect the dots between their childhood and their present: the anxiety that won't quit, the relationships that feel like work, the sense that you're performing a version of yourself that doesn't quite fit.
You've started noticing patterns. Maybe it's the anxiety that never fully quiets down. The overthinking at 2am. The way you beat yourself up when something goes wrong. The relationships where you give more than you get back. Or a feeling you've been performing a version of yourself your whole life... one that keeps the peace and doesn't take up too much space. You’re not sure when that started, but you’re starting to feel the cost of it.
These things are connected, and they're not character flaws. They're strategies you built to get through something, even without knowing. They just aren't working anymore.

You’ve been holding a lot of hard feelings underneath it all. These days, you’re keeping things steady for others, navigating complex dynamics, managing all the invisible labour. On the outside, it might look like you’re doing fine. But inside, something feels unsettled. You’re exhausted by the silence in your relationship, the guilt around money, or the loneliness that creeps in even when you’re partnered. Maybe you’re navigating non-monogamy or struggling to name what you want in sex or intimacy. Or maybe you feel like you’re always “too much.” You’ve tried to push through, but now you’re wondering if there’s a different way.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of complex trauma, often stemming from childhood experiences.
It can be hard to know what's wrong when it feels like nothing has ever been right. Unfortunately, this is an all too familiar experience for survivors of complex trauma. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. However, you're no longer that child and feel just surviving isn't enough, but the past won't let you move on—your suffering is not your fault. What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we can make sense of the chaos. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.
