I am passionate about helping people whose emotions have been in the driver's seat for too long, whether that be anxiety, shame, stress, or one of countless others. I work with individuals who identify as highly sensitive, those who struggle with anxiety and depression, and those who have been impacted by traumatic events in their lives. I emphasize learning and integrating skills to forge a healthy relationship with our emotions, something we have not all had the opportunity to develop. I love talking to people, hearing their story, and working together to balance acceptance of who we are with change that is meaningful and lasting.

I specialize in offering treatment informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I have experience working with highly sensitive individuals, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, ADHD, grief, burn-out, and emotion dysregulation.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and I am passionate about unravelling the puzzle and shifting the pieces to fit for each unique person and circumstance. All of this is done within an environment and therapeutic relationship that is radically genuine and empathetic. Reach out for your free 15-minute consultation to decide if this is the right fit.
