I work with individuals who have been through overwhelming and traumatic events - who are struggling with anxiety, panic or depression, where symptoms and triggers feel uncontrollable and unstoppable and those who feel like their past continues to resurface. By supporting your nervous system and working from a somatic approach, together we will process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled way so they are no longer needing to keep you in an activated state.

We are bound to face challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, uneasy, or lost. Or sometimes, different feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviours present themselves without knowing how to fully understand them. I can offer ways to build one's awareness to uncover and gain more control over problematic concerns/patterns. I have a special interest working with men, who are challenged by ADHD, anxiety, depression and/or burnout. I'm in the process of completing my certification as a ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider.

In my sessions, I want clients to feel truly listened to. Therapy, in my view, is a space for a client to experience empathetic and genuine attention which may be rarely found in everyday life. With this kind of attention, people can face problems and develop strengths much more easily than on their own. Ultimately, my goal is to help people get to the point at which they can manage their mental health without me, by using the tools and skills we develop during our sessions.

You don’t have to be in crisis to know that something isn’t quite right. Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in old patterns, or quietly carrying more than you let on. Many people come to therapy after trying to manage on their own for a long time — until it starts to feel heavy. I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns across British Columbia.

As a Registered Art Therapist, I support those who are seeking a gentler, less traditional approach to healing. Maybe talking feels too much—or not quite enough.

Together, we move with curiosity and compassion, creating space for healing to unfold naturally.
