I work with individuals who want to rebuild their lives during and after a painful life partnership breakdown. I have a passion for walking alongside others who are ready to gain insight into their challenges, receive empathy, and move forward at their own pace. I integrate many therapies and tools as we come up with the right "therapy recipe" together. I don't rush the process. My experience includes working with youth and adults over 12 years old with anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, trauma, and grief as well as other mental, emotional, and behavioural challenges.

If you are tired of being the one who has it all together, you’re in the right place. Many of my clients are first-gen professionals, first-born daughters, and mothers who are experts at navigating high-pressure environments but feel increasingly disconnected from their own needs.

You may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, or persistent self-doubt that are difficult to quiet, no matter how hard you try. These patterns can feel exhausting and isolating, often leaving you anxious, uncertain, or emotionally drained. I work with individuals experiencing OCD-related concerns, relationship anxiety, and attachment-related trauma, especially when these patterns begin to impact daily life and relationships. Together, we explore the cycles that maintain distress and work toward more grounded and flexible ways of responding.

Does anxiety or depression make it hard to enjoy life? Do you find yourself constantly worrying or feeling down? Living with anxiety and depression can feel exhausting, like there’s a weight you can’t shake that keeps you from feeling calm and present. Or maybe you’ve been through a difficult experience that still affects you, even if it happened years ago. Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, unable to trust, or haunted by memories that just won’t go away, making everyday life feel like a struggle. You may feel trapped by constant worry, haunted by difficult experiences, or left alone in grief after a significant loss.

Using art, somatic, and breath work, I co-create a safe space that empowers you to reframe challenges and explore new paths to wellness, honouring your unique experiences.
I believe in the power of connection and I view healing as relational. My approach emphasizes community, creativity, and play, fostering curiosity and openness, while my client-led stance adapts to each person’s unique needs. When working with children, I regularly collaborate with parents to strengthen relationships; I also support neurodiverse children, including those on the autism spectrum. As a trained art therapist, I often use art and play to create a safe space for verbal and nonverbal expression. No art experience is needed—art is always optional, and simple materials can bring therapeutic benefits!

As a psychotherapist, I believe that each individual's journey is unique, and so should be the approach to healing and growth. I focus on fostering deep, authentic connections in therapy and creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into my work, a highly researched, evidence-based approach that the World Health Organization has deemed the top treatment for trauma.

I believe every individual is the expert on their own lives, and that each has innate strengths to draw upon. I have helped people grow, notice patterns, and gain insights, and thereby, to reclaim control of their lives. I appreciate that the past plays a big role in shaping who we are and how we view and manage situations, and so I respect each person’s upbringing, experiences, and differences: these make us unique! As such, I recognize no single model or intervention works for everyone – there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I tailor sessions and interventions for you and your specific issues, experiences, and needs.

When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We are wired to bear the pain of real life, but our psychological suffering can be unboreable. Sigmund Freud called psychotherapy “a cure through love” and I truly believe in this. The wounds that accrued in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. A relationship where the therapist doesn’t talk “at us” but “with us.” I believe all individuals can develop into mature, fully realized adults. However, inner or outer obstacles can make this path difficult. My role has always been to support my clients to remove these obstacles.

Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Relationships form the foundation of our lives, and boy can they be challenging. Maybe your relationships - and your life - are being impacted by core beliefs which no longer serve you but are difficult to shake. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, hurt, anger, regret, sadness, grief, guilt, shame, or unworthiness. Or maybe you have been othered, marginalized, or traumatized. Maybe you are feeling ready to look more closely at what's hard. I am a witness and a co-explorer of what is true for you - and what you want. I notice your strength, courage, and tenacity, and wisdom, which you may take for grant.
