Accepting New Clients! In Person & Online Sessions - I am passionate about helping individuals aged 5-25 who struggle with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of trauma, struggling with anger, grief, or navigating tricky friendships and family issues, including the impact of the experiences as a foster child. For kids struggling with anger, grief, or tricky friendship & family issues, it can feel as though joy in childhood is lost. Similarly, as a young adult who lacked support as a child and recognize how this could have an impact on your future, now is the time to reach out for support.

When life gives you lemons you don't HAVE to make lemonade - you can also reach out to me! I know how challenging it can become when the work, relationships, and spaces that've anchored us suddenly break down. I'm familiar with how grief can sometimes follow, and how profoundly stress, loss and trauma can separate us from ourselves. I get it; I've been there.

Reaching out for help takes courage and finding the right therapist can be daunting. As a highly empathetic and collaborative therapist, I understand the importance of a good fit and treat each client as a unique individual and expert on their own life. I trust that, with support, you can feel empowered enough to tackle your challenge, whether that be managing an overwhelming situation or symptoms of anxiety or depression, clearing unwanted patterns, resolving past issues, or perhaps finding a deeper sense of life purpose. As a highly sensitive person, I can also help fellow HSPs better understand and work with their unusual traits.

Clients appreciate my uniquely tailored, compassionate, nonjudgmental, trauma focused approach, which offers practical solutions while also encouraging profound and lasting change.
It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience. 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 will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

I work with young people and adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or cumulative stress, and want to develop a sense of well-being and emotional stability. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations and movement impulses. This allows the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

My ongoing training includes work with schema therapy, ACT and trauma focused therapies.
Do you ever wonder, how did I get to this place in my life? Do you feel frustrated or exhausted repeating the same patterns over and over again? Are you tired of negative self talk sabotaging your efforts to change? Do you struggle with challenging relationships that affect how you handle day-to-day life? Now more than ever, women are feeling overwhelmed and 'stuck' trying to create more positive relationships with their loved ones while also identifying and taking care of their own needs and desires. I strongly believe that we all have the potential to change the way we connect with others and most importantly, with ourselves.

Does it feel like your mind never turns off? Maybe you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, overanalyzing every decision, or struggling to trust your own instincts. That little voice in your head—your inner critic—keeps whispering doubts, making you feel like you’ll never get it “right.” Even when you want to relax, your body stays tense and your thoughts spiral with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios. It’s exhausting. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
I help women calm their nervous systems, ease anxiety, and gently work through emotional triggers and past experiences that keep them stuck.

Fellow wounded human being, you've been through it. Your mind, body, and soul are exhausted.

I aim to partner with you to get to the root of your experience, and support you every step of the way.

Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event that has impacted your ability to focus or cope with the everyday? Trauma continues to live in our systems long after the event has happened, sometimes remaining hidden until something triggers it to come to the surface. Trauma can reveal itself in a variety of ways, including physical pain, lead to anxiety, depression, attachment or relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, and can impact our perceptions leading to unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. My clients report a reduction in their symptoms, describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more present.

Life can often throw some unexpected curve balls our way. When upsets happen, it can be hard to cope. It can be challenging to find purpose and meaning in the midst of pain and disapppointment. We often end up feeling sad, angry, resentful, anxious and undone. We can often feel like there is no hope or that no one cares and, as a result, engage in negative thinking and harmful behaviours. You have strengths and values within you that we can explore to help you be the best you. I use a collaborative, client-centered and non-judgemental approach to help navigate through the issues that are of concern to you.
