Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. I work with youth (12+), adults, and parents seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship challenges. You may be at a crossroads — navigating change, searching for purpose, or trying to reconnect with balance and authenticity. Whether you’re exploring identity, feeling overwhelmed as a parent, or moving through transitions such as career shifts or separation, life can feel heavy and uncertain. Therapy can be a supportive space to gain clarity, realign with your values, and foster emotional steadiness.
I offer a compassionate, grounded space that integrates DBT, CBT, Somatic EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches. Through a trauma-informed and somatic lens, I help clients build emotional awareness, self-compassion, and resilience. Together, we work toward healing, balance, and practical tools that support the lasting change you're seeking.
Reaching out for support takes courage. You don’t need to have everything figured out — therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and discover new pathways forward. If you’re seeking change and are ready to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion, I would be honoured to support you through this season of growth.
