I work with clients from a variety of unique experiences such as (but not limited to) neurodiversity, past trauma, or a history of sexual abuse.
I take a trauma-informed, person centered and solution focused approach. I am a highly sensitive, intensely curious, and nonjudgmental therapist. I rely on honesty even when that means sharing uncomfortable truths and love to utilize humor. I invite individuals into a deep therapeutic relationship where we can explore all parts of the self.

I work with people from many different walks of life who may have experienced trauma in their past, have a mood disorder like Bi-Polar Disorder or are finding life to be more than they can handle right now.
Being concerned or confused about feeling sad, feeling unmotivated, experiencing mood swings or wondering why conversations with others don’t have the outcomes you were expecting are some of the reasons why people decide to work with me. While starting therapy can sometimes seem scary, working with a psychotherapist can help improve understanding yourself and your emotions. It can also empower you to make positive life changes improving those areas you may be struggling with. You don’t have to struggle, psychotherapy can help. I bring in a fresh perspective with compassionate understanding to the complexities of life.

I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT approach to therapy.
Are you in your 20's or 30's with ADHD, anxiety and/or depression? Do you have a hard time saying no, regulating big emotions, or saying what you mean? You're exhausted from putting on a mask and faking it just to get through each day, only to collapse into doom scrolling until you fall asleep at night. You have a hard time making decisions, and feel like your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. You've tried all the things - exercise, meditation, affirmations, daily planners - but nothing seems to help. It's starting to impact your most important relationships - be it romantically, with family, friends, school or work.

If you are struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, stress, or are feeling unfulfilled in relationships, I can help.
I am a trauma therapist, and work to allow for rapid shifts in your life. I don't want to band aid your symptoms, I work with the root of the problem to get permanent changes in your patterns. Coping skills are great (breathing exercises anyone?), but taking care of the core of the issue allows our body and brain to not NEED those skills nearly as much.

We can also talk about anxiety, PTSD, nonmonogamy, depression, grief, discrimination, identity issues - whatever you need.
You’re dealing with a lot; feeling guilty and confused. Guilty for not loving more or trying harder. They’re telling you these things - it must be true, right? They were charismatic and charming, showering you with PDA and compliments, but it all changed. You’re embarrassing they say, and now you feel trapped and broken. You’re not alone. It's not your fault. You Google “abusive relationships” and read about narcissistic abuse. That’s your life! You need guidance. I know this because I needed it too. I chased “good enough” trying to “behave well” for my family. After college, I married and divorced a narcissist who always blamed me.

I focus on helping people deal with intrusive thoughts related to many issues, like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), PTSD, and anxiety.
My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

I have worked extensively with people living with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, developmental trauma and other psychological disorders.
Living in a fast-paced society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. I approach mental health issues as arising primarily from our needs being inadequately met by the community and world around us. So there's a disconnect between how we evolved and where we are now. I also do ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with the Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Healing.
