I feel passionately that each one of us has the potential to live our best lives, to experience healing and walk in freedom. The journey of life can at times throw us twists and turns, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, ashamed and sometimes hopeless. I desire to create a safe and compassionate space where vulnerabilities and hurts can be gently held and insightfully explored leading to deeper healing and freedom.

I work with clients facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, low mood, insomnia, substance use, relationship distress, and post-traumatic stress.
I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy–– facing fears, trying new behaviours and learning alternate coping skills––can often feel uncomfortable. I also believe that our values and aspirations can help us move forward when the going gets tough. So, to make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, capable adults who find themselves feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift. Many are high-functioning in their daily lives but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction. They are often people who have spent years adapting to the needs of others—within relationships, families, or work—and are beginning to recognize the cost of that pattern. Clients typically come to my practice because something no longer feels sustainable. This may show up as anxiety, emotional exhaustion, difficulty setting boundaries, or a growing sense that they have lost touch with

My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, recognizing that trauma doesn’t just live in the mind, it’s held in the body, shaping how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others.
In addition to other modalities, I am trained in EMDR, which can help process painful emotions, traumatic memories, and past experiences that may still be affecting you in the present. I also work from a culturally responsive, socially just framework, honouring your unique identity and experiences while acknowledging the impact of systemic factors.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, attachment concerns, and OCD, using approaches such as EMDR and somatic therapies that support both mind and body in healing.
Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carries with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that is tailored to your specific needs.

I work with clients who are ready to dig deeper to find out how their past experiences may still be taking up a lot of space in the present. I also provide post-adoption support to family members at any life stage. I have particular expertise in working with adult adoptees who are ready to unpack the core issues that tend to arise across the lifespan.
