I am a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or stuck. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, parenting demands, caregiving responsibilities, illness or injury, or major life transitions. Often, they have spent years carrying too much while neglecting their own needs. My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate, helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected.

Our specializations include: Borderline Personality, grief, life transitions, alcohol use, Narcissistic Personality, trauma, OCD, ADHD, behavioural issues, anger management, chronic impulsivity, anxiety, infidelity, depression, dual diagnosis, and men's issues.
Men often face pressure to suppress their emotions, making therapy a courageous act of defiance. As a therapist, I specialize in guiding men through reconnecting with their emotions and inner selves. Many men seek deeper connections and understanding, aiming to enhance relationships and daily life. No matter what you are struggling with, my goal is to help you understand your underlying motivations and develop healthier coping mechanisms. With a focus on avoidant attachment styles, I provide a safe space for exploration and empowerment, aiming to shift patterns and foster self-discovery. Book a free 20-minute consult to learn more!

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

My goal is to help you reclaim your self-worth and strength in a world that so often feels disempowering; these qualities get buried due to our upbringing, internalized beliefs, and experiences. In contrast, therapy with me is grounded in safety, compassion, and care—your whole self is welcome here, and I aim to help you be who you are, as you unlearn what you’ve been told you should be.
I am also dedicated to unlearning oppressive systems, to uphold the safety of our therapy space and promote healing. I want to build a bond where you feel supported, heard, seen, and understood as together we explore and navigate your challenges.

Are you stuck in a pattern of people-pleasing, overanalyzing, and intense anxiety / panic that feel impossible to control? Maybe you were the scapegoat in a family with emotionally immature parents, having to basically raise yourself? You keep trying harder, working harder, doing more, but you're exhausted and constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the other shoe to drop. You've tried all the things - self-help, meditation, gym, yoga, breathwork, maybe self-medicating with substances - but nothing works for long. You're stuck in functional freeze, your nervous system is shut-down, and you long for a sense of safety

When you're in emotional distress, an empathic presence can be a turning point that restores hope. Perhaps you've spent years holding it together while feeling lost, empty, ashamed, disconnected, unseen, or not enough. Maybe you kept the peace so no one would leave, or overfunctioned to feel worthy. None of this was a flaw, it was survival. For over 20 years, I've helped people heal relational and developmental trauma and attachment wounds, including anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties, often adult children of emotionally immature caregivers. You deserve support that sees you.

You're fed up and frustrated. No matter how hard you try you feel like you're just not good enough. You may find yourself saying “yes” when you want to say “no,” replaying interactions in your mind, or feeling like you’re constantly managing how others feel. You get angry quickly, can't control your emotions and have been called "oversensitive." You care a lot about other people, you try your best all the time, but you are left feeling overwhelmed, alone, and exhausted.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and these patterns are more common than you might think.

Honest, Grounded Support. You're stuck in your head, overthinking everything and feeling off, and you've tried pushing through, but it's exhausting. A lot of the people I work with look like they have it together while feeling overwhelmed behind the scenes, whether from anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, or a difficult breakup or divorce. They're tired of handling it alone, and tell me, "I overthink everything," or "I thought I was over it, but it still affects me." Together, I offer a warm, honest space where I won't just nod; I'll help you make sense of your patterns and move forward in a way that feels realistic.

Are you longing for more than just getting through the day? Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck between wanting stability and craving a life that feels meaningful and alive. You may be used to holding everything together while carrying stress, shame, anger, or loneliness, noticing emotional ups and downs, relationship patterns, or an inner voice that questions your worth. Often there’s pressure to stay strong while managing overwhelming emotions, giving too much to others, or feeling disconnected from your authentic self, with a sense that there’s more to you than survival habits have allowed.
