I help people break free from the weight of anxiety, burnout, stress and relationship struggles. My passion lies in empowering my clients to shed the guilt, shame, people-pleasing, and perfectionism that hold them back from fully embracing who they are.

Many of us have known heartache that doesn't seem to end, feeling down without always knowing why, or persistent worry. It's my life's passion to join people who have struggled with these experiences and help them find clarity, fulfillment, and joy. I'm excited to work with clients as they dig deeper into understanding the "why" behind their choices and motivations, so they can ultimately feel alive and vibrant no matter what they face.

Feeling stuck or reactive in old patterns? I've been there and I see you. I believe in the transformative power of compassion and self-awareness and the peace that comes with a calm nervous system. My non-pathologizing approach is rooted in the understanding that every individual comes with their own unique set of past experiences and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space of present attention where one’s feelings and truths are valid. Working from a systems perspective, I conceptualize each person within the context of their unique environments, recognizing the complex interplay of factors that shape their experiences.

Additional areas of expertise include stress management, medical conditions (e.g., cancer, neurologic disorders), grief/ loss, sleep problems, life transitions, and experiences of bias.
I integrate evidence-based psychotherapy with each person’s goals and strengths to provide individualized, effective, and culturally responsive treatment.

Contrary to what movies show you about therapy, I won’t give you unwanted advice or simply nod solemnly the whole session. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, free expression, and movement to join with my clients and help them explore what healing means to them. I hope to empower clients to access their natural abilities and to gently disrupt the unhealthy patterns we humans often get stuck in using more than traditional “talk therapy” approach. My goal is to facilitate somatic healing, so your whole body begins to feel better as you gain new awareness and get “unstuck” from the patterns you’re ready to release.

Do you spiral down rabbit holes of anxious thoughts? Do you worry about all of the “what ifs?” or doubt yourself? Do you beat yourself up for things you “should” have done differently? Life is inherently full of stressors. The way our minds are hardwired often results in painful emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, shame, or guilt. Like quicksand, the more we fight these thoughts and emotions, the worse it gets. But there’s hope. We can change our relationship with painful thoughts and emotions so they don’t prevent us from living our lives to the fullest.

My number one goal as a therapist is to establish a trusting and respectful relationship with my client(s). Your trust in me is my genuine priority. I work with adolescents (14+), individuals, families and couples. I am a trans and LGBTQIA+ affirming Therapist. I believe that the mind and physical body are intrinsically connected, and that mental health is the loving balance between the two. Finding that balance looks different for every individual and relationship. When you come into this therapeutic space it is my intention to meet you where you're at, not where you think you should be.

Through my life and work experience, I learned to view my work through the lens of anti-oppression: I acknowledge the impact that systemic, cultural, and societal expectations have on our daily existence and sense of self. We all carry with us a unique set of intersecting identities, which, taken together, influence our life experiences and shape our worldview. I believe that the foundation of mental health exists in the exploration of these identities and the radical acceptance of our whole selves.

My approach is trauma-informed, decolonized, and holistic. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma/generational trauma/oppression; who are experiencing anxiety, depression, body image dissatisfaction, suicidality, self-esteem issues, identity issues; who are living with neurodivergence; and those belonging to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. In my work I am warm, non-judgemental, non-pathologizing, and authentic. I also often use humor in the therapeutic space as this has been a traditional tool of healing within many Indigenous communities including my own.

I work with trauma, grief and loss, and chronic illness and chronic pain.
Thanks for visiting my page! I primarily work later in life diagnosis of ADHD in teens and adults. I am a neurodivergent therapist myself, and my lived experience helps me to empathize and relate to my clients deeply. I take an affirming lens in my sessions, combating stigma and ableism, and assisting my clients to become more fully themselves. ADHD can affect so much more than just productivity in school or work, it influences the way we show up in relationships and how we see and experience the world. It can be life changing to really understand how your ADHD brain works and how best to support yourself.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
