Accepting NEW patients. Are you feeling overwhelmed by work, school, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, or the demands of everyday life?

I’ve worked with individuals facing mental health challenges, developmental disabilities, ASD, and ADHD, and know how important it is to feel truly understood.
I use an integrative approach with roots in mindful self-compassion, CBT and ACT to help clients better understand thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we build up insight and create strategies to manage stress and anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and cope with daily challenges, tailored to each person’s strengths, needs, and goals.

Whether we’re working on emotional regulation, communication, identity issues, grief and loss, addiction, or navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds- I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, validating, and empowering.
You’ve spent so much of your life trying to make sense of a world that doesn’t always make sense to your brain. Maybe you’ve learned to mask and to push through burnout, but you’re exhausted from trying to “get it right.” In our work together, you are invited to show up as you are. Together, let’s explore how you can better understand and accept your unique mind, unmask safely, and build a more meaningful and authentically led life. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you feel safe in your body, confident in your voice, and supported in creating a life that feels more like your own.

Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments without ever feeling heard or understood? Maybe communication quickly turns into conflict, trust has been broken, or you're navigating separation, divorce, or preparing for marriage. Stress, anxiety, or depression may also be affecting your relationship, leaving you feeling distant or frustrated. Maybe you know that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start. If you want calmer conversations, stronger communication, and a relationship that feels more secure and connected, therapy can help you build the skills to get there.

I work with neurodivergent and BIPOC folks, bringing creativity into our sessions: art, fandom, poetry, pop culture; whatever helps you tell your story in a way that feels like you.
Do the everyday things feel harder than they should lately, especially while you're also trying to take care of your mental health?
You're not alone in that. So many people I work with come to therapy looking for one simple thing: a space where they can finally exhale and be understood, without having to explain themselves or put on a mask. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, burnout that's crept into everything, questions about who you are, the push and pull of navigating different cultures, or the quiet exhaustion of always showing up for everyone else.

I work with kids (aged 3+), teenagers and young adults, especially those who have challenges related to anxiety, depression or low mood, anger, autism spectrum disorder and childhood trauma.
I use trauma-informed, creative and play-based approaches to help clients develop emotional awareness, coping skills, and a stronger sense of self. I also use DBT to help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation, and EMDR, a structured therapy that helps reduce distress from traumatic memories, such as childhood trauma.

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and sometimes it falls apart entirely. Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I help adults find their footing through infidelity, grief, separation, and identity shifts. I work with clients managing bipolar disorder, OCD, CPTSD, PTSD, and relational issues, offering a space that meets you with honesty and zero judgment. I also provide sex therapy, exploring desire, intimacy, communication, and sexual functioning, and support couples through ENM, relational repair, and everything in between. You deserve care that sees all of you.

I focus on: high-conflict or narcissistic relationship dynamics, infidelity, stay-or-go cycles; as a queer therapist, I also focus on clients with ADHD/ autism and LGBTQ+ groups.
You've probably already done the analysis. Late nights with ChatGPT, a shelf of psychology books, a working vocabulary of attachment styles and defense mechanisms — you could almost predict what a therapist will say. Yet the stuck feeling stays: the 2 a.m. rumination that won't switch off, a relationship you can't decide whether to fight for or leave, the loop of "I know exactly what my pattern is — so why can't I change it?" Most of my clients are like this: high-functioning, deeply self-aware, often living between cultures or carrying an immigration story, excellent at solving every problem except this one.

Are you concerned about your child's emotional wellbeing or behaviour? Does your child struggle with nightmares, being away from you, overwhelming fear, or does not enjoy the unknowns? Maybe your child has a history of high levels of frustration or anger? Does your child struggle with peer connections, history of bullying, or low self-confidence? Are you worried about how to navigate these challenges as a family and how they impact your child? As a parent/caregiver it can be challenging to deal with these problems alone and all the emotions that come along with them.

What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
