Have your important relationships become a source of distress and hurt? Do you and your partner want to strengthen your bond but find yourselves stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection? As humans, we are wired for connection, yet every relationship experiences rupture. This is our human condition. Healing and repair are possible and are essential for our relationships to survive and thrive. A wide body of research shows that secure attachment benefits both our mental and physical health. I support individuals, couples, and parents who are facing difficulties in their relationships with partners, family members, or friends.

I treat a variety of common mental health difficulties and life challenges (e.g. mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, complex trauma, relationships issues, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionist traits). Some people aren’t quite sure what’s going on for them, but something just doesn’t feel right. Whatever your struggle is, I want to help you to get your life on track, break out of unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and find meaning and satisfaction in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what it is that’s causing you difficulty, and an evidence-based approach to help you to finally move forward.

Shame and anxiety often feel like correction is needed, yet healing comes from self-exploration and connection with others. If you're feeling off, being hard on yourself, or facing a difficult time, we can explore and understand where these feelings and thoughts arose from and what may help. Therapy is a safe space that offers you the chance for self-acceptance, and even self-care. Clients often note that I am simultaneously one of the least judgmental and caring therapists they have encountered. I’m originally from the States and take culture and context into consideration. I’m a cancer survivor and neurodivergent.

As a therapist with a Master’s in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I work with individuals who often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, or self-doubt—even if on the outside, they seem to have it all together. You might find yourself overthinking, putting pressure on yourself to be perfect, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough.” Sometimes, you’re not sure where these feelings come from. You may sense that old patterns, irrational thoughts, or unconscious beliefs are quietly shaping the way you see yourself and the world. You want to break free from that cycle, to feel more connected, confident, and calm.
