If you've been feeling stuck and what you're looking for is meaningful change, you're in the right place. I provide a connection-based tailored approach that meets you wherever you may be on your journey. My goal in counselling is that you feel safe, comfortable, and validated in my office; it is in the presence of connection that healing can begin. I'm able to support clients through past traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety, issues with self-esteem, and complex relationships who are hoping to move forward towards healing through EMDR, talk therapy, and assessment.

You should feel like the expert on your journey. I care deeply that you feel heard and understood in my cozy office. This is why I integrate various approaches based on your needs and have training in EMDR, attachment, anxiety, regulation, ADHD, stress management & relationships. I also provide psychoeducational assessment for youth and children.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. In my office I encourage you to get comfortable, you're allowed to fidget, and it's ok to sprinkle in a bit of dark humour. Above all my practice is grounded in care and compassion. I hope to offer a space that is free from judgement, where you can learn and heal.
