Living through times of change is challenging! Whether you are dealing with the loss of a marriage or trying to cope with the death of a loved one, times of change are confusing and filled with uncertainty. Questions like, "How do I get to where I want to go?" and "How will I live beyond the pain?" do not seem to have easy answers and often times, talking to a friend or a loved one is not enough. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship can assist you to unleash the past, live in the present and create new dreams for the future.

Sometimes the people who look the strongest are the ones carrying the most, and I feel deeply called to create space for them. I am drawn to working with people who appear to have it all together, yet feel overwhelmed, emotionally tired, stuck, or weighed down inside. Many are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, self esteem, relationships, or identity.

Feeling like you’re at a standstill in life? Everyone has a story to tell and you deserve to be heard, validated, believed and supported. As a psychotherapist, I make it my priority to provide a safe space to help you pinpoint where you are stuck and guide you in working through your struggles. This can range from sorting out life changes from careers to relationships and managing secondary symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. You will measure that growth has taken place through an increased propensity towards self awareness as well as conscious focus towards behaviours, thoughts and beliefs.

You didn't plan on needing a grief and trauma therapist.
Maybe you thought you'd "gotten over" your childhood by now. Maybe your divorce was supposed to be amicable, your parent wasn't supposed to die by suicide, or that relationship wasn't supposed to leave you questioning your own reality.
Here's what we know about grief and trauma: It doesn't follow timelines. It shows up in panic attacks during grocery runs, in hypervigilance that exhausts you, in the way you minimize your own pain because "other people have it worse."

I use an integrative approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, and trauma-informed and attachment-based perspectives.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, or affected by past experiences that still carry weight in your life. At times, it can feel like you’re reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, even when you’re trying to do things differently.
I work with individuals, couples, and groups navigating anxiety, trauma, and relational challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself without judgment.

My work is integrative and grounded in evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, and attachment-based and trauma-informed care.
Relationships are a central part of my work, but so is supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in difficult life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected, from themselves, from others, or from a sense of meaning, despite doing their best to cope. Through an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) lens, I look at how emotions and attachment patterns shape the way you respond, connect, and protect yourself. I offer a calm, grounded space to slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin shifting how you relate to yourself and others.

Grief can feel isolating, especially when the loss is sudden, traumatic, or not fully understood by others. You may find yourself carrying emotions that surface unexpectedly—waves of sadness, anxiety that tightens your chest, or nights when sleep won’t come because the weight of it all feels too heavy. These experiences can feel overwhelming and hard to hold alone.
