I am a registered psychotherapist with a strong background in community and university-based mental health care using evidence-informed therapy. My work is rooted in supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, mood concerns, identity questions, relationship stress, and life transitions. I place strong emphasis on self-awareness, boundaries, and sustainable change. Together, we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build tools that help clients trust themselves more fully and respond to stress and emotion more effectively.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and structured. I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and emotion-focused approaches, always tailoring the work to each individual. Sessions often include a balance of insight, emotional processing, and practical skill-building.
I strive to create a therapy space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and genuine, where clients feel supported while also gently challenged. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people. It’s about helping people understand themselves more clearly, strengthen resilience, and I welcome you to reach out when you feel ready.

I draw from CBT, self-compassion, and emotion-focused approaches to support both insight and change. Therapy is collaborative and gently structured. Sessions offer a balance of reflection and emotional depth. We'll explore what's been weighing on you while also building tools you can use outside of therapy.
