It can be difficult to navigate life when you feel like you can't stop the emotional rollercoaster. The fluctuating stress can make us feel out of control which can lead us to cope in ways that often don’t align with our values or goals. I believe that people are deeply impacted by their environment and the systems they engage with (healthcare, social services, education, housing, legal, financial, etc). As a result, I value using an anti-oppressive lens to address and navigate systemic barriers within our sessions.
I use a trauma-informed compassionate approach that focuses on co-creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, seen and validated. There are many ways we can work together to help improve your quality of life and soothe feelings of overwhelm.
My areas of focus are trauma, neurodivergence, personality disorders, and anxiety disorders. I look forward to hearing from you, book online through the Circle Psychotherapy and Wellness’ website or call/email me for a free 15-minute consultation to start your recovery journey.

During our initial sessions, we will discuss your goals for therapy and your current challenges. We will work together to create a plan to meet your goals and get your life back. Most of the people I support see their symptoms improve within the first few months. This allows people to focus on other meaningful areas.

My main modalities are DBT, IFS, and ACT although I blend other types into therapy to tailor sessions to the clients' personal needs and goals. These modalities support clients to build skills in distress tolerance, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness and emotional regulation. This mixed with challenging unhelpful thoughts and patterns helps clients to reduce the intensity of their symptoms.
