In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize authentic and honest communication, fostering a safe environment where difficult things feel safe to talk about. With compassion as my compass, I balance acceptance-based strategies with methods for change, aiming to support clients as they work at their own pace toward building a life they find worth living, and realize about their capacity to shape their own narratives to transform challenges into opportunities for personal evolution.

Navigating family, romantic or work relationships can feel like a lot to manage on your own. Together, we can explore what's happening in a safe, non-judgmental space. I have 30 years of experience supporting individuals, couples and families across the life cycle. As your therapist, I consider and honour differences in how people think and feel and I believe we are all doing the best we can.

Hello and welcome. I am a Registered Psychotherapist who practices psychotherapy with an integrative, trauma-informed approach. I draw on attachment theory, emotion focused therapy, psychodynamic principles, neuroscience, and others to work with each client individually. My intention as a therapist is to address more than just symptom reduction; through the exploration of deep issues and concerns we can work together to encourage long-term change. Using somatic (body-based) approaches and the therapeutic technique of Brainspotting, I work with clients to reset the nervous system and tap into the brain's inherent ability to heal.

Sometimes the ways in which we have learned to manage challenges in life end up pulling us away from the authentic life that we want to live. Feelings like anxiety and shame can show up and leave us feeling helpless and disconnected from ourselves and others. We often end up shaming ourselves for feeling a certain way rather than taking the time to understand our feelings and needs. If you are struggling and feeling stuck in patterns that are no longer serving you, I am here to help you find the courage within yourself to meet your suffering with understanding and compassion.

Accepting new clients in April 2025-Life is challenging for a multitude of reasons, from unmet needs, inequalities, identity confusion, lack of support, difficult life experiences, to everyday life stressors. I hope to create a warm, accepting, and nurturing environment. I provide a safe space for my clients and invite them to identify their struggles and strengths, bring some curiosity about the different parts of themselves (emotions/thoughts), and to notice their behaviours. I help clients navigate self-awareness, learn more about their values, and guide them to take small steps to build a more healthy and meaningful life.

I am passionate about my work and root it in a Person-centred philosophy. I believe that everyone can be well and succeed, when they are cared for and have the tools they need. Carl Rogers puts it well by saying, “It is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior – and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided” (1980, p.115-117).

You're a 30 something first-time mom who's always had anxiety but now that you've had a baby it's worse than ever. You knew things would change, but now it's like your brain won't ever stop. Worst case scenarios fly through your head, intrusive unwelcome images flash by, you're trying to enjoy these precious moments with your little but sometimes it feels like you're so consumed with worry you're not even present. Friends say this level of exhaustion is normal, but you sometimes wonder if you're depressed. You've tried all the things - self help podcasts, parenting tik-toks, mom groups, but still feel like something's off.
