Do you often feel overwhelmed? Are you constantly worrying about the “what-ifs” and the future? Are you struggling to establish healthy boundaries with the people you care about? Are you ever afraid to be the “real you" around others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are not alone. Whether you are experiencing everyday life stressors or have experienced past trauma and hardships, garnering support can be a helpful place to start. If the idea of therapy has crossed your mind, then there is at least a part of you that is curious about what life could be like and the possibility of change.

My life has been full of experiences so varied that they could only have been preparing me for this work of humbly trying to help individuals navigate their own life challenges. From the business world to teaching overseas, supporting people with substance use disorders and those experiencing homelessness, becoming a foster parent and a surrogate, while navigating health issues, each chapter of my life has deepened my belief that every person is intrinsically valuable and capable of living a thriving, full life. Life is never without challenges, but meaning is often found in how we face them and the support we seek along the way.

I enjoy working with people who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and true to themselves. They may feel weighed down by worry, overthinking, self-doubt, or the pressure to be perfect. They might logically know that their anxiety is not serving them, but their subconscious does not allow them to relax. They are ready to use science-backed therapeutic techniques to start living with more peace, authenticity, and self-trust.

Therapy can be intimidating, and leave us feeling vulnerable in admitting to ourselves that somewhere we have gotten off course and our lives have become unmanageable. In this private and non-judgemental therapeutic space we will be able to work through areas of “stuck points” without fear of being labeled or misdiagnosed. Through our working relationship, there will be room to express a range of suppressed emotions in a healthy and productive manner, while learning to set healthy boundaries and work through conflict, both past and present. As your therapist, I will give you the tools you need to utilize in your everyday life.
