Therapists in T2T
I have experience working with a variety of client challenges, including relationships (e.g. family conflict, polyamory/open, infidelity, sexuality, attachment patterns), trauma, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, life purpose, and transition. I have specialized experience in suicide bereavement, and my predominant areas of practice include grief, attachment, and trauma. My training in somatic attachment is rooted in rewiring the patterning of our interpersonal relationships, which directly impacts how we emotionally process and behave within these relationships.

Many of the clients I work with are seeking personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. They often come to therapy to navigate grief, stress, trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges such as boundary issues, separation, and betrayal. My clients are typically looking to experience greater ease, connection, and a sense of wholeness in their lives. Their goals often include becoming more present within themselves and their relationships, while moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Emotions are complex! Have you ever wondered why you're sad or anxious or unreasonably angry? Sometimes there's more going on underneath the surface than you realize - and this is where I can help. My hope is that is as we explore what you're feeling and, more importantly, WHY you're feeling it, you'll have a better sense of what to do with that information - like make big decisions or communicate what you need from important people in your life. We will explore your life's history, relationships and deep desires to understand what you need to live a content life. I can help you identify your own strengths to help you flourish.

Do you feel like you’ve lost your spark? Overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply not yourself lately? Whether you’re navigating burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or a major life transition like becoming a parent, you don’t have to go through it alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, stuck, or unsure of where to turn next. Together, we work to help them feel grounded, capable, and hopeful again.

I have a passion for working with people who are struggling with intense emotions and difficulties regulating their emotions. As a single parent of two teenage daughters, I understand that life can be overwhelming sometimes; the demands of kids, work, bills, and relationships eventually catches up with all of us. Using the principles of Mindfulness, and Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioural Therapies, I support people in learning new effective and healthy coping skills to replace old, less effective ways of being.

Maybe you’ve always been the one who holds it all together.
The steady one. The thoughtful one. The one who senses so much—but doesn’t always feel fully seen.
You move through life with care, but something inside feels heavy. You might feel anxious, shut down, overwhelmed, or just… tired. Like you’ve been carrying more than your share for a long time.
Therapy with me is a space to pause. To land. To explore what’s been hard to hold alone—and gently reconnect with yourself in the process.

I'd love to help you relate to your anxiety and OCD in a new way - one with less fear, increased confidence and greater quality of life.
I also help clients with a history of childhood/developmental trauma and attachment-wounding. If you find it difficult to trust others, constantly worry about whether you're loved or whether you'll be abandoned, struggle with people-pleasing, or push others away, this can be due to attachment-wounds at play. We can feel safer in our relationships - both with others and with ourselves.

Healing from trauma begins in a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. If you find yourself stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or difficulty trusting others, you’re not alone. These often reflect deeper relational wounds. I work with adults and couples who want to better understand how past experiences shape the present—and begin to change the story. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing you down and support meaningful, lasting change.

Being human is kind of absurd. We’re expected to carry childhood wounds into performance reviews, grieve while replying to emails, and hold existential dread at bay with green smoothies. It’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed, numb, or vaguely unhinged and still keep going. I’m a therapist with 15+ years of experience across mental health, systems work, and private practice. I work with people navigating anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, big feelings in quiet lives, and the general absurdity of being human. I also support integration of psychedelic experiences, especially when they leave you with more questions than answers.

Does life keep catching up with you and knocking you off balance? Maybe you’re weighed down by worry, dread, exhaustion, or pain. Sometimes you look around and wonder, how did I get here? You might not recognize your work, relationships, body or home as they changed while you were busy taking care of everything and everyone else. Your empathy and compassion is a great strength, and yet there is a cost to caring that impacts your health and well-being. I help people with chronic illness, chronic pain, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD to have more energy & enjoy a renewed sense of purpose. It is possible to find a good balance.

You might feel like your emotions are ‘too much’: intense, overwhelming, or hard to trust. On the outside, you seem self-aware, chill, and hilarious, but inside, you feel disconnected from yourself. Maybe you use humour to downplay the hard stuff, but those experiences still impact you. Whether it’s trauma, ADHD, or feeling out of sync with your body, you're tired of feeling both ‘too much’ and ‘not enough.’ You're ready to reconnect with yourself, rebuild self-trust, and finally feel at home in your body—a homecoming to you. Speaking of ADHD, I am currently offering ADHD assessment services at Riverwest Therapy Collective!
