Are you looking for someone who can meet you wherever you're at in this moment? Maybe it's your first time looking for a therapist, or perhaps you've spent some time on the therapy couch before. Either way, I recognize that knowing where to start is often the hardest part. Your whole self, your story, and your experiences are welcome here. Let us create a warm and safe place for you to unpack, to be heard, and to process your emotions. Breathe, pour yourself a cup of tea, and take a seat. Together, let's find the path to help you grow through whatever life is bringing your way.
I bring gentle curiosity, humour, and warmth into how I show up for my clients. Along with a trauma-centered approach that focuses on early attachments and experiences, I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor our work together based on your strengths and needs. I'm also trained as an art therapist and love to incorporate creativity into my work.
Creating a supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and honoured in your experience is incredibly important to me. As humans, we are all imperfect, a little messy, and navigating this life for the first time. If you're curious to learn more about me and how we can work together, I welcome you to reach out and schedule a free phone consultation.

Although many of my clients are talk-therapy focused, I often borrow from my training as an art therapist in the ways I invite creativity into our sessions. This can come up in the ways we look at your experiences, find ways to express emotions, or create spaces for you to feel more grounded and fulfilled in your life.
