Life doesn't always go according to plan, and sometimes it falls apart entirely. Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I help adults find their footing through infidelity, grief, separation, and identity shifts. I work with clients managing bipolar disorder, OCD, CPTSD, PTSD, and relational issues, offering a space that meets you with honesty and zero judgment. I also provide sex therapy, exploring desire, intimacy, communication, and sexual functioning, and support couples through ENM, relational repair, and everything in between. You deserve care that sees all of you.

Accepting New Clients.
Most people arrive believing something in them (or between them) is broken. Usually it isn’t. What has broken down is a way of relating that worked for years and has stopped working now. I work with couples, families, and individuals facing recurring conflict, emotional distance, or a decision that cannot be made. I also work with anxiety, burnout, grief, and periods when a person’s usual way of living has stopped working.

Affordable Therapy - Maybe you're twelve and you already know how to read the tension in a room before anyone says a word. Maybe you're seventeen and you've quietly become the one who keeps things steady. Or maybe you're an adult and you're still doing that same job, managing everyone's feelings before you've had a chance to sit with your own. I work with kids 10 and up, teens, and adults, helping you put down what was never yours to carry in the first place. Sessions are offered in person and virtually, with daytime and evening availability to work around school and work schedules.

Are you feeling stuck between life stages....unsure of who you are or where you're headed? Life transitions can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
As a young man myself, I understand how easy it is to push things aside or feel like you have to handle everything on your own. Whether you're navigating life after high school, adjusting to university or work, or just figuring out who you are, I offer a space that’s low-pressure, supportive, and free of judgment. You don’t need to have it all together to start. While our challenges may differ, we all share a need to feel seen, understood, and accepted.

You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

My ideal clients are people who appear to be functioning well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally strained on the inside. They may struggle with anxiety, anger, intrusive thoughts, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. Often thoughtful and self-aware, they want more than quick coping strategies. They are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves, develop emotional flexibility, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
