I used an attachment and somatic approach along with EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, I specialize in BIPOC mental health, affirming practices for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, and support for parents grieving a child.
Are you feeling weighed down by everyday life? Does it feel hard to ask for what you need? Maybe you are feeling stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break? You’ve come to the right place! I specialize in helping clients heal and make sense of their experiences and find relief from anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. I work mostly with clients who seek to break cycles of generational trauma in their lives. I also provide a specialized approach to those recovering from the traumatic loss of a child. Together, we can move beyond just coping and work towards rebuilding healthy connections and creating the life you want.

I utilize CBT, CPT, PE, and EMDR to help clients develop awareness and skills.
Are you in a loop of self-blame, regret, or anxiety over how events in your life have gone or are going? Would those close to you say you "have it together" but, deep down, circumstances have left you feeling "not good enough"? Has the shame or disappointment eroded trust in your ability to make confident decisions for your relationships, your job, your life direction? Whether symptoms began due to unfortunate luck, a traumatic event, relationship breakdown, etc., I help identify patterns keeping you stuck and offer solution-focused, evidence based strategies to address anxiety, self-doubt, indecision, PTSD, and codependency.

My approach includes the examination of three critical aspects: personal history, cognitive/emotional development and commitment to behavioural change.
Therapy is an opportunity to find ways to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It helps in overcoming difficult symptoms or stresses, cope effectively with problems or bring positives into your life when things are going well. I work with people struggling in their family relationships, or those in high distress from loss, grief & trauma, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or emotional pain. In my work with individuals I have learned that working from a broad base of theories and techniques is best integrated in the therapeutic work.

I offer an effective therapy through CBT and emotional processing.
Trauma is a word that no one likes to hear, let alone experience. It comes in different forms: childhood, domestic violence, sexual assault, injury, our job, along with additional experiences that may come up. Facing trauma alone can be overwhelming, scary, and painful. This can cause additional physical health problems that can interfere with daily activities. You may experience nightmares, as if you are reliving the event. You may not want to leave your house for fear of it happening again. Knowing and understanding that therapy can take time and effort, I am committed to working alongside you through your healing journey.
