Imagine living a life free from the weight of intense emotional pain. While you appear to be thriving on the outside—putting on a smile and navigating daily life—inside, your reality is different. Each day feels like a battle against low mood and haunting memories, casting a shadow over your life. With expertise in trauma and PTSD, dissociation, depression, and addiction, I recognize that our behaviours often arise as coping mechanisms for deep-seated pain. My mission is to empower you to reclaim your ability to navigate life with safety, security, and confidence.

Sometimes life can have us feeling bogged down in the same negative patterns, feeling blocked or disconnected from our own sense of contentment, strength and joy. Often we walk the path of life, thinking we are making progress, only to find we have circled back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves in this place it can be wise to reach out for help. I see therapy as a place to uncover the roots of what is feeding our present concerns and to heal these roots in order to make positive lasting changes.
