You may appear to have things together on the outside while also feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or disconnected from yourself and others. Many of my clients come into the therapy space while navigating relationships, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to carry too much on their own. I also support those struggling with women’s mental health, including maternal and perinatal mental health, fertility-related concerns, tricky feelings after a loss, identity changes, and the emotional trickiness that can accompany these experiences.
I strive to offer a collaborative space where you can feel heard without judgment. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and I believe in meeting clients where they're at, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable and safe. At times, this may also include gently challenging patterns, beliefs, or ways of coping that may no longer be serving you.
My approach is relational, person-centred, and tailored to you! Together, we can work toward developing self-understanding, resilience, healthier connections, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Reaching out for support can feel incredibly vulnerable, but I promise, therapy does not require you to have everything figured out beforehand!

There isn't one single therapy approach that works for everyone. I tailor each session by drawing from multiple modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and EFT, using these approaches as flexible tools for your toolkit rather than rigid methods. Together, we'll discover what works best for you and what is most aligned with your goals.
