Sometimes life feels heavier than we expected. You might be moving through something painful, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply not feeling like yourself. Maybe you’re carrying things no one can see — grief, anxiety, self-doubt, or questions about who you are and where you’re going. If you’re here, you might be looking for a space to breathe, be heard, and begin to untangle some of what feels overwhelming. In my work, I aim to meet you exactly where you are. I’ll walk alongside you for as long as you need — offering support, perspective, and tools to help make sense of your experience.

I work with individuals 16+ who are currently experiencing or have experienced difficultly in their childhood. They often feel lost, stuck or find themselves in the same cycles that don't work for them, but they are unsure how to shift away from them.
If you find yourself acting in a way that prioritizes others' needs, socially withdrawing when things get difficult or putting on a mask to hide how you’re feeling, you are not alone. I offer a safe space for you to share what is happening for you and what has happened to you. At your pace, we will discuss the past, present and the future you want.

Accepting NEW clients! My passion for working with clients in the perinatal period was born out of my own struggles with infertility, medically complex pregnancies, birth trauma, and postpartum anxiety. I have a particular interest in working with parents navigating high-risk pregnancies, pregnancy loss, NICU trauma, colicky babies, and parenting spicy or neurodivergent children. My passion also extends to supporting couples during the perinatal period, and helping them to move from barely surviving to thriving together. I hold the belief that people are resilient, and have the power to heal within themselves.

The path to healing can be intimidating and searching for help may seem overwhelming. I intend to honour and support the strength and vulnerability shown by those seeking support. It’s essential for me to cultivate culturally sensitive spaces that ensure you feel respected and empowered in your journey. I am passionate about working with the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx and other racialized people or People of the Global Majority), and I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. I also employ a collectivist healing approach to support some of my work to create a sense of community and togetherness.

There is a quote, "We look at the world once, in childhood, the rest is memory". To me, it speaks to how important children's mental health is and how many of us may still be moving through our everyday lives with a lens that is stuck in the past and no longer serving us. If you are a parent, you might be feeling immense pressure to 'get it right', feel overwhelmed in your role, or simply not sure what to do anymore. Wherever you are in your journey, I offer you a validating space to share your story at your pace, explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and help you get to a place you want to be.

During each session, clients can expect a supportive, private environment where they're free to explore thoughts, feelings, and relational dynamics where our therapists tailor tools and strategies (e.g. CBT, DBT, IFS, narrative, somatic, mindfulness) to fit client goals and pace in a culturally-informed, relational way.
Most of our clients look like they have it together. Managing careers, relationships, and a life that looks functional from the outside.
But something's shifted. Burnout that used to be manageable isn't anymore. Anxiety that's quiet enough to ignore most days, but loud enough to affect the people they care about. A major transition that feels heavier than they expected.
They come to us because they're tired of carrying it alone, and they're ready to figure out what's actually going on.
Our team listens, asks the right questions, and works with you from where you are

Do you want to better handle stress? Do you find it hard to say no and often regret saying yes? Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or disconnected from work, school, or even other people?

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
