I strongly believe that we all have the wisdom to know where we need to make changes in our lives. We all want to live lives of less and more. Lives with less disconnection, overwhelm, and feeling stuck. Lives with more connection, communication, and joy. I work with a multitude of obstacles, including anxiety, depression, trauma, problems with social communication, emotional dysregulation, and other issues that get in our way of living more fulfilling lives. In therapy, I incorporate aspects of CBT, ACT, DBT and EMDR, building on skills and teaching new ones, while gaining new insights and perspectives on our lives.

I believe that a fulfilling life comes from integrating all parts of ourselves: our beliefs, our emotions, our behaviour, and our relationships. Forming a strong relationship with my clients, I help them to discover where their strengths lie, and how best to apply them to the areas that need more attention.

My ideal client is a deep feeler...often an empath, caregiver or highly sensitive person who is navigating anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, grief/loss or life transitions such as motherhood or ageing. They may struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They long for clarity, inner peace, and a sense of purpose, authenticity and sometimes even needing to rediscover who they are after years of caregiving for others. More than symptom relief, they seek meaning, self-trust, authenticity and emotional freedom. They want to feel empowered, whole, spiritually supported and authentically aligned.

Therapy for trauma, emotional regulation, and connection
You may feel stuck in painful patterns, longing for steadiness and peace. I help adults heal from trauma, rebuild emotional balance, and create more connected lives. Many I work with are coping with trauma, complex trauma, or emotional and relational challenges that feel difficult to navigate alone. These experiences can affect confidence, identity, and connection. Together, we begin by creating safety and stability, then focus on growth, trust, and self-understanding.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

Lasting change starts with a safe, judgment-free space—essential for adults whose ADHD is too often misread as laziness. It’s not the task itself but the starting that feels impossible, weighed down by shame or fear of failing. Maybe you’ve been told “stop procrastinating” or “just be disciplined” so often it became your own inner voice. Sometimes the only way to get things done is through panic, only to end up drained. My approach draws from CBT and DBT principles to support clients in understanding their patterns and practicing strategies that encourage clarity and follow-through

Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or sadness? Facing a health challenge or making a significant life transition can feel overwhelming leading you to worry how you are going to face the future. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may lack energy or time for yourself making you feel irritable, frustrated, angry or guilty. You may think, "I can't do this, I'm not handling this well" causing you to overthink and ruminate which might affect your sleep at night. You may struggle finding meaning and purpose and don't know who to talk to.
