You feel everything deeply. The world may feel too loud, your emotions too intense, or your mind too restless to find peace. If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), or navigating PMDD, ADHD, AuDHD, anxiety, depression or trauma, you're not alone and you don't have to go through it alone. Starting therapy is a powerful act of self-care, and I’d be honoured to support you on your journey. Together, we can create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing, self-discovery, and growth.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing: Trauma, PTSD, Highly sensitivity (HSP), Autism, ADHD and AuDHD, burnout, anxiety and overwhelm. With over 6 years of experience as a mental health and addictions worker, I bring a deep, trauma-informed lens to my practice. My approach is compassionate, client-centred, and tailored to your unique needs.

I offer virtual therapy across Ontario, with flexible afternoon and evening availability. I also provide a sliding scale, because access to care shouldn’t be a barrier. Let’s connect. Book a free 15-minute consultation to explore how therapy can support you in becoming the version of yourself you’re ready to meet.
