I am a Registered Psychotherapist with years of experience in the mental health field. I currently work with adults, teens and children. I believe that strength is a characteristic that resides in all people. It can however, be difficult to see during times of hardship and vulnerability. I have the goal of helping my clients feel empowered and to make the positive changes needed to live healthy, fulfilled lives. I focus primarily on issues related to depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. I also have experience working with clients battling substance abuse issues, abandonment and victims of domestic violence.

My approach is 2S-LGBTQIA+ affirming, intersectional, neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, and integrative, creating space for meaning-making and a diverse range of identities.

Stress highly depletes your energy to deal with problems. When feeling tired, frustrated and hopeless, it can seem like there are no solutions. In a safe, calm environment, where you feel accepted just as you are, you begin to develop self-compassion. By being gentle with yourself, coming from a place of non-judgement, you can attain so much. Trust allows you to open and us to work together to explore what is at the root of the problem. As you explore thoughts and feelings, you become more self-aware. Your energy increases and you become stronger, then able to learn effective coping skills to overcome challenges and to thrive.

I support adults with ADHD who want to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives. Adult ADHD can cause challenges with scheduling, time management, organization, relationships, and emotions.

You are a high achiever who does what it takes to get ahead. You've been described as industrious, passionate, serious, and intense. You are the person your friends and family come to with their problems as you appear to have it all together. You are holding so much for everyone else, but you feel so alone. Below this confident exterior, anxiety brews. You are a deeply feeling person and yet sometimes feel unseen. Your inner critic can be loud and it often tells you that you're not enough. I am here to help you discover why you feel this way, to hold space, and to explore the inner workings of your multi-layered self.
