Therapy is provided to individuals who would like to work on past trauma, grief, communication, relationship issues, boundaries, sex related issues and other life events.
My education and experience has led me to a profound passion for the restoration of people. I value understanding how the human mind functions on a day to day basis. My education and experience in Marriage (Couple) and Family Therapy has led me to further expertise on topics including communication, conflict resolution, relationship issues, sex and stress within relationships. I believe therapy should never be seen as a failure, but rather as an avenue of growth and restoration.

You might feel constantly drained, unseen, or stuck in patterns shaped by ADHD, trauma, or a challenging family history.
I draw from psychodynamic and relational approaches, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore the inner 'parts' of you that may feel hidden or overlooked, moving at a pace that keeps you safe, regulated, and curious—whether we’re focused on specific goals or following an open-ended process.

You deserve a healing approach that supports you as a whole person. DBT gives you practical tools to navigate emotional storms, while somatic inquiry helps you connect with where those storms reside in your body. EMDR processes the memories fueling the pain, and energy work invites light in, helping you reconnect with your authentic self.

Whether it’s the heavy weight of depression, the persistent "buzz" of anxiety, or the lingering echoes of trauma, these experiences can make life feel like a series of obstacles to survive rather than a life to be lived.
By using neuro-experiential tools like EMDR and Brainspotting, we work directly with your nervous system to process the root of the pain, rather than just managing the symptoms.

I specialize in working with people with histories of trauma and upsetting childhood experiences.
My approach goes beyond popular forms of therapy which involve thinking ourselves out of our feelings and instead, focuses on getting to the root of the struggles you're experiencing. My goal is to offer you a safe space to work through the tough stuff; a place where you can feel truly seen to begin reaching your full potential.

Having been in practice for over 13 years, I have expertise in mental health, trauma, addiction, ABI, ADHD, depression, anxiety, stress, attachment issues, emotion dysregulation, and mindfulness-based practice.
I believe therapy should be practical and actionable to help you get the best results and achieve positive lasting change as quickly as possible. As a client-centered therapist, I work collaboratively and offer an individualized approach to meet clients where they're at. My work is inspired by the science of interpersonal neurobiology, allowing me to provide education about human behaviour and neurophysiology to help clients make sense of their difficulties and see their challenges from a normalizing view. Many clients find this information to be helpful, hopeful, and empowering, as it gives us a roadmap for resolving their issues.

We will unpack the present stressors in your life, as well as factors that may be contributing, including childhood family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and systemic oppression.
Have you been wishing things felt different? Maybe you haven't felt understood or accepted in your friendships or relationships. Maybe you're going through a breakup, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Or maybe you've been struggling to feel happy, even when things seem to be going well. Do you want to better understand where your emotions are coming from, why they have such a hold on you, and how to feel better? Are you curious to explore your early childhood experiences that influenced how you learned to be in the world, and whether those adaptations are still working for you today?
