Hey retired athlete, life after sport wasn’t supposed to feel this lost. You’ve spent years driven by goals, discipline, and achievement — but now the structure is gone, and you’re left asking, “Who am I without it?” Maybe you’re struggling to find healthy ways to move or fuel your body. Maybe perfectionism and shame still weigh you down, or emotions you once pushed through now feel overwhelming. The mindset that served you in your sport? It’s interfering with life today. You’re here because you’re ready to redefine yourself beyond the athlete. Let’s build that next chapter — one with purpose, balance, and self-compassion.

You may be feeling the impact of trauma or loss and unsure how to move forward. You might have reached out for support before and felt not heard, understood, or supported, especially in systems that are not always trauma-informed. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals impacted by trauma and loss, and specialize in supporting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. If you are unsure what your rights and options are and are wishing to move beyond symptom management, together, we create space to speak about what has happened, explore pathways forward, and define what healing and care look like for you.

If I had to guess, you haven’t felt like yourself lately. Or maybe you feel exactly like yourself—and that’s the problem. You know you’re capable of more than how you’ve been showing up. You’ve probably been trying to “fix it” on your own for a while now, but no matter what you do, you keep falling back into the same patterns. The truth is, change is hard—often harder than we expect. And doing it alone can keep you feeling stuck. Having someone in your corner who can help you make sense of what you’re going through, challenge your patterns, and be real with you when it matters most might be what you need to finally move forward.

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.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." John Kabat-Zinn Sometimes life hurts and we are uncertain how to move forward. Grief, trauma, life transitions, difficult relationships, and past experiences often leave us searching for healing and hope. We don’t want to do this work alone, and yet we don’t always know where to turn. In the therapeutic relationship you will be heard and seen. In my practice I use a holistic, person-centred approach where together we will build a respectful relationship that allows you to gain new skills, acquire knowledge that helps bring about change, and work toward your personal goals.

Accepting new clients. I am a registered social worker that is passionate about helping women and couples grow and heal. I began my career working with and advocating for abused women. I then transitioned into healthcare where I worked in women’s health, adult and paediatric emergency departments. My journey with women and their families has provided me the honour of empathically walking with them during some of their darkest days. I am also excited to be working with couples as I believe that our personal relationships are often our greatest opportunities for growth and healing.

Many people begin trauma therapy when past experiences continue to shape how safe they feel in their body, relationships, and everyday life. You may be carrying the effects of childhood trauma, attachment wounds, or chronic stress that leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. These experiences can affect your self-worth, relationships, and ability to trust others, making it hard to feel truly at ease. What most people want is to feel grounded, understood, and able to move through life with greater calm, confidence, and self-trust.

Therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you are already feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin. I work with students, emerging adults, and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating anxiety, identity exploration, self-worth, relationship stress, academic pressure, family dynamics, and major life transitions.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
London, ON N6A
As a therapist, I encourage clients to live in accordance with their values and promote authenticity. I believe that many of the challenges you face in life represent a disconnect between what you see as right, or what is really important to you, and the way that you live those beliefs out. In daily life, this disconnect may be experienced as social anxiety, as you fear what others think of you. At school or in the workplace, this can look like dissatisfaction with your job or studies. In relationships, this can look like resentment or insecurity towards your partner.

Even when you are used to handling pressure at work, stress in your family or relationships can feel different. For first responders and others in high stress roles, long shifts, difficult experiences, and the demands of the job can sometimes follow you home. You may notice that you have less patience, feel more withdrawn, or have a hard time being fully present with the people you care about.
