Since 2018, I’ve worked with those who have experienced trauma, including attachment, abuse, and assault, as well as those seeking support for emotional distress, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and personality disorders, among others.The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling fearful, hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. I hope to guide you through your journey of healing these wounds and empower you to become your most authentic self. My practice is inclusive and integrative, ensuring that approaches are tailored to unique individuals.

The desire for self-awareness, personal growth, and change often motivates individuals to seek out psychotherapy. Disharmony within our sense of self and others can lead us to experience thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that prevent us from living our happiest and most authentic selves. Whether it is coping with grief and loss, processing trauma, or navigating existential concerns regarding identity or purpose, self-exploration within a psychotherapeutic relationship can move us towards an increased awareness of how these dynamics operate within our lives, and forging commitments toward actions that yield meaningful change.

Welcome! I work with individuals who feel lost in their lives and are craving a non-judgmental space to process their emotions and help make sense of things. I believe therapy can help you find self-compassion and clarity when you’re tired of doing it all on your own. I'm a therapist who values curiosity and creativity to safely explore challenging topics.
My main focuses are anxiety, depression, complex trauma, attachment issues, dissociation, and obsessive thinking patterns/behaviors.
I also help couples enhance their communication, resolve painful emotional patterns and rediscover intimacy.

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating and holding a therapeutic space or "container", enabling my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to resolution. An inner space opens for something new. It is a tremendous honour and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

I work with adults, teens, and families who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life changes. Many of my clients are struggling with overwhelming emotions, conflict at home, or patterns that no longer serve them. They come to therapy wanting clarity, relief, and better ways to cope. My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel understood, build healthier strategies, and begin moving toward lasting change and balance.

People who reach out to me are often navigating addiction, substance use, habits, or patterns of adaptive attachment that once helped them cope but now feel exhausting, limiting, or misaligned with their values. They may be a student, professional, or adult under long term pressure, experiencing anxiety, burnout, mood shifts, ADHD, or emotional regulation challenges. Often they feel stuck in a single story about themselves, framed as failure or lack of willpower. They want understanding, relief, and practical change without shame, judgment, or being pushed faster than they are ready for.

Do you have a story you feel you need to share with someone? Maybe it’s your first time opening up, or maybe you tried before, but just never quite felt heard. If there’s something inside of you that needs telling, I’m here to hear you out. I often work with clients who suffer from depression, trauma, anxiety and relationship issues. I can also be particularly helpful to clients who’ve felt they haven’t gone deep enough in therapy, who tend towards dissociation or intellectualization, or who find themselves between cultures—immigrants, children of immigrants, people from interfaith families, and “third culture kids.”

Our comprehensive DBT program is committed to providing compassionate & effective treatment for individuals who may experience intense emotions (such as anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt), impulsive behaviours (such as self-harm, suicide, stealing, substance use, risky behaviours), & stormy relationships (which could look like switching between pushing people away & clinging to them, challenges with saying no). We also offer trauma treatment through Prolonged Exposure-DBT and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) because many of the current day experiences, emotions & views of the world, are based on previous experiences.

Many of us have life experiences that shake up our worlds and dramatically transform how we see ourselves. They may be relationship breakdowns, major traumas, the loss of a family pet, becoming a parent, or receiving a life-changing diagnosis. These challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and oftentimes isolated - know that you are not alone. My role is to help you to feel heard, make sense of difficult experiences, as well as teach you strategies to cope with distressing thoughts and emotions that accompany trauma and anxiety. Together we can work towards reconnecting you with your authentic self and the life you wish to lead.

Have you lived through a traumatic event? Are you navigating life after childhood trauma or experiencing ongoing distress in your life? I believe it is possible to recover and reduce the effects of hurtful events or challenging circumstances on your life.
We will discuss together, at your own pace, how your past and identities affect you now. This includes looking at how you feel about yourself and in your relationships. Distressing events were often made worse by isolation, so having another person guide you through this process can be meaningful.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.
