With over 13 years of experience in the counselling field, I am deeply committed to walking alongside individuals on their path to healing and personal growth. My practice is rooted in empathy, respect, and a belief in the inherent resilience of the human spirit.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the complexities of mental health and addiction, including those living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and other comorbid conditions.

Feeling stuck, anxious, stressed or like no one really gets what you’re going through? Maybe you’re caught in a cycle of overthinking, worst-case scenarios or coping habits that aren’t helping anymore. Perhaps you’re trying to process trauma, struggling to put your feelings into words, or you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and it just didn’t click. Art therapy offers a different way to explore emotions, manage anxiety and stress, process trauma and better understand yourself. I bring a warm, creative and down-to-earth approach to therapy, with practical support, genuine connection and plenty of room for humour along the way.

I work with adults dealing with complex trauma, OCD, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, family scapegoating, estrangement, and grief.
Therapy with me bridges practical relief with deep root healing. We work through pressing daily decisions, intrusive thoughts, boundaries, and guilt while using IFS, EMDR, and ERP to process underlying trauma and compulsions. You will find a steady, non-judgmental partnership where you are truly heard and supported every step of the way.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to shrink ourselves to stay loved, accepted, or safe. If that sounds familiar, you might be carrying childhood trauma, faith-based trauma, or the weight of navigating your identity within your culture, your family, or the LGBTQ2IA+ community. You might be neurodivergent and still figuring out what that means for how you move through the world. I work with adolescents and adults facing these experiences, including depression, C-PTSD, family dysfunction, and relationship challenges, and I bring culturally responsive care that honours where you come from.

Life gets complicated sometimes! We often suffer alone but that misses the spirit of what it means to be human. Our basic, hard-wired need is for relationships and finding one that is attuned can allow us to uncover wisdom, reshape our inner world and create space for the possibility of healing. My therapy style is warm, honest and intuitive. I work collaboratively with clients to get to the heart of suffering and find more effective ways to live.

You might be navigating ADHD, anxiety, or depression and feeling out of step with everyone around you. You might be a parent trying to understand what your child is experiencing, or an adult facing the pressure of school, career decisions, or figuring out who you are. I work with clients of all ages, drawing on my background as both an educator and a therapist to understand not just what you are feeling, but the systems and pressures shaping it. We start with your nervous system, and build from there.

I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I work with addiction and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as clients navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults building self-understanding. I aim to help clients feel understood while building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies, at a pace that feels right for each person.

Traumatic experiences can freeze us, lead to depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and a loss of connection with our authentic being.
Do you feel stuck in the same painful patterns, even though you’ve tried so hard to change? You may sense that something deeper is holding you back—showing up as anxiety, unhealthy coping, or difficult relationships that leave you feeling alone or disconnected. Sometimes it can feel like being an adult on the outside, but still carrying old wounds inside.
I understand this pain personally. My goal is to help you find freedom, purpose, and a deeper sense of wholeness.

I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma, PTSD, addiction, BPD, depression, grief, and relationship challenges including infidelity and codependency.
Many people have already talked their stories through. The goal here isn’t to endlessly process - it’s to heal.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Many of my clients have experienced therapy before but are ready for a deeper layer of healing. I provide a comforting space to heal while growing.

You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of the people I work with are navigating something quieter but just as heavy: a transition they did not expect, a pattern they cannot seem to break, a version of themselves they are trying to grow into. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across all stages of life. Whether a child building confidence, a teen finding their footing socially, or an adult moving through change and uncertainty, I meet each person where they are and build from there.

The ways we learn to cope often make perfect sense given what we have been through. Over time, those same patterns can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, infidelity, and the lasting effects of sexual abuse and assault. If you are caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or carrying something that has never felt fully safe to explore, this is a space built for exactly that work.

You're the one everyone leans on, at work and at home, and you're good at it. Lately you're feeling stuck, and it's hard to remember who you are beyond the roles.

Everyone has their own unique story.

You might be a parent watching your child struggle at school and not knowing how to help.

I work with children, teens, and adults who are ready to understand themselves better and build something that actually lasts.

You might be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck or unsure of yourself.

My clients often arrive knowing something needs to change but not quite knowing where to start. That is exactly where we begin, together, at a pace that works for you.
