Are you tired of feeling like you don’t fit into society’s outdated expectations of what it means to be a woman? Do you find yourself raging against the oppressive systems that tell you your worth is tied to your body size, sexuality, or ability to conform to outdated norms? You see how messed up it all is but the "old programming" feels engrained, the self-criticism, self-betrayal, people pleasing, "try-harder" mentality, the never feeling "good enough"...it's still there. You've tried to overcome it with self-help, meditation, reading, journaling, but it doesn't seem to stick - it's hard to heal societal wounds alone

Where you've been doesn’t have to be where you end up. As individuals, we can carry the weight of our past experiences with us wherever we go. Whether it’s the relationships we had in childhood with our families, the connections we have with our culture and community, or the painful moments that leave scars, we are often shaped by what we go through. When things have been hard, especially for a long time, it’s easy to feel stuck and to imagine that your life will always be this way.

My practice is grounded in transparency, empathy and respect. I focus on developing a collaborative relationship to ensure that we are working towards your goals - whether that be having a better understanding of your thoughts, developing skills to manage intense emotions, improving communication, or improving self-esteem, to name a few. During our time together, I hope to help you build confidence within yourself to manage life’s challenges and reach your goals.

I believe that every client is unique and therapy therefore is not "one size fits all". This means that I am an eclectic therapist, that draws upon several evidence-based approaches to help my clients meet their unique needs. I particularly enjoy working with approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioural, Attachment-based, and Narrative approaches. I specialize in treating clients who may be struggling with persistent, intrusive "sticky" thoughts as commonly associated with OCD and anxiety through Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) and mindfulness approaches.

I know, it feels daunting coming across another profile finding the perfect match. You’re here because of all that heaviness you carry: your life feels like it’s in chaos with the toxic relationships, the soul-sucking career, the trauma that follows you like a shadow - you just feel lost and like you’re drowning.

You need your own space and time to process what you're going through, and that is what we are hear for - to start your healing process.

Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked
