Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions—stuck in old patterns, constantly anxious, or weighed down by self-doubt? Maybe you’ve been through something painful or are in the middle of a big life change, and you’re struggling to make sense of who you are and what comes next.
You might be feeling overwhelmed one day and completely numb the next. You’re doing your best to cope, but deep down, you know you want more than just “getting by.” You want real change—something that lasts. You want clarity, confidence, and a sense of peace within.
You're not broken. You're tired. And ready for something different.

My ideal clients are individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or burnout, and often feel disconnected from themselves or unsure how to move forward. Many are neurodivergent or navigating challenges with identity, self-worth, and their inner critic. They may struggle to regulate emotions, feel stuck in patterns, trauma, or question what a meaningful, fulfilling life looks like. They’re looking for a safe, understanding space, along with practical tools and support. Ultimately, they want to feel better, understand themselves more deeply, and build a life that feels aligned and worth living.

I believe the willingness to reflect and explore one’s inner experience is a key foundation to healing and change. However, it can be challenging to open up and be vulnerable in beginning this process, and I want to acknowledge the courage it took for you to take this first step toward your healing and personal growth. Through a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment to foster self-exploration, awareness, and self-compassion. I use an integrative, client centered approach, and strive to empower all my clients to be active participants in their own journey.

People tell me I'm open, caring and friendly. Maybe that's why I went into counselling!

I support individuals and couples who have built successful lives yet still feel exhausted, disconnected, or lacking a sense of purpose and vitality. You may be a professional, entrepreneur, or leader who carries significant responsibility and is often relied upon by others. Perhaps you are navigating burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or the ongoing effort of meeting expectations while losing touch with your own needs. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with your values.

The goal of psychotherapy is similar to the goal of life, which is to live the best life possible. But life is full of change and challenges, some of which we embrace and even pursue full heartedly, some of which we are initially shocked by but are able to manage with minimal disruption to our lives. At other times such experiences can be disorienting, leaving us feeling lost, confused, hopeless, and at times unable to move forward. If you are feeling stuck in any facet of your life, psychotherapy can be a valuable means of re-orienting yourself.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change, or triggered in ways that don’t fully make sense?
I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, emotional reactivity, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others, and are looking for both deeper healing and practical tools that actually work.

While I specialize in treating eating disorders, approximately half of my clients come to me with different concerns. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues.

I imagine that you have found yourself here today because you are looking for answers to a multitude of questions. I can imagine too that you might be hurting or struggling and in need of support and relief. Perhaps you are confused about how you are feeling but know that you are in need of a change. I believe that we all need help at times in our lives and don’t have to go it alone. You have arrived at this moment in time with your own unique story to tell. I believe that what you have to say and what you are feeling is valid and deserves an empathic, non-judgmental place in which to share and make sense of it.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in celebrating 2SLGBTQ identities, neurodivergence, parenting, building a better relationship with your body and eating, and unpacking the impacts of trauma. If you tend to intellectualize your emotions and struggle to really feel them, my somatic and relational approach may work for you. You may already have a clear idea of what you'd like to discuss in therapy - or you may not! Either way is more than welcome.

Are you seeking to better understand and navigate your relationship with yourself, others, and broader societal dynamics? Do you wish to gain insight into your emotions, needs, and boundaries or gain the tools to courageously express them? Perhaps you want to experiment with your agency or tend to old hurts with compassion and intentionality. If you feel your healing would benefit from working with a queer person of colour committed to anti-oppression and anti-racism, then I would be honoured to walk alongside you. Even at the best of times, life is challenging. Working together can help make the hard things less hard.
