Therapy is a space to slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and feel more like yourself again. I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or impacted by difficult life experiences, and who want support navigating emotions, relationships, identity, and stress. My practice is integrative and body-focused, blending talk therapy with somatic approaches to help you notice patterns and respond to challenges with more clarity and choice. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is helpful for processing trauma and distressing life experiences.

Do you ever feel like if you could just figure out how to stop feeling how you're feeling or doing what you're doing, you'd somehow be able to move towards the life you should have? If so, then already I'm cheering for you, because it shows a level of bravery and introspection that is needed for change.
I love working with people who are struggling with philosophical issues and spiritual questioning, particularly if their questions arose due to lose. I firmly hold that unless you feel safe, you can't fully be curious about why you do, feel, and think as you do.
Your story matters. You matter.

As a trauma-informed, EMDR-trained therapist, I draw from IFS, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices to support growth and understanding.
In our work together, I consider not only your inner world but also how living within systems that perpetuate marginalization and oppression impacts our well-being. This broader understanding allows us to approach your experiences with compassion, context, and care, rather than self-blame.

Do you ever feel like you’re holding everything together, yet still feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected—from others or even from yourself? Perhaps you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling weighed down by expectations. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you feel drained and unsure how to move forward. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating the changes you’ve been longing for. I work with clients using talk therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR.

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.
