Welcome, If you're struggling, please know that you're not alone. We all encounter obstacles and moments of feeling lost, but you don’t have to face them alone. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in rediscovering your strengths, uncovering underlying issues, and nurturing a compassionate inner voice. Whether you're navigating a challenging life transition, coping with trauma, illness, or loss, or battling overwhelming experiences, I'm here to support you on your journey. I offer trauma-informed care and draw on two decades of studying Buddhism and yoga to provide holistic perspectives along the way.

Do you feel that you are changing after a hurtful experience? Do you wish to have more control on your reactions and thoughts? Do you want more clarity with your thoughts? Do you feel burdened and want your emotional reactions to be calmer and more appropriate? Do you think that something from the past was so shocking, and its pain still lingers and impacts your day? Is there a new and happy experience in your life, but it's more challenging that you expected?

Does this resonate? 'I am so frustrated! What is going on in my mind?' I understand your frustration and the overwhelming thoughts affecting your sense of self. It's challenging when negative self-talk and low self-esteem dominate, creating a sense of isolation. Intrusive thoughts can feel confining, but together, we can explore and navigate your inner world. In our therapeutic sessions, you'll find relief and understanding in a safe, empathetic environment. Whether in-person or online, we'll collaboratively address and ease your thoughts, fostering a path towards emotional well-being.

To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement, and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

Are you someone who struggles with your relationship with food? You may feel out of control and stuck. Do you have intense cravings that feel impossible to stop? Do you experience shame and critical thoughts about yourself after eating? Having a complicated relationship with food can be so challenging to deal with because food is all around us socially and something we need to have daily. I am here to help. Together we will work to bring compassion to the parts that feel shame and guilt around eating.

Since 2001, I have supported individuals and couples to deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, work place stress, burnout, sexual and relationship and self-esteem issues, and existential issues related to meaning and purpose.

My practice focuses on identifying neuropsychological difficulties, helping clients to better understand their cognitive profile, and helping clients learn ways to adapt to any cognitive limitations. Practical recommendations are provided through one-on-one feedback and a detailed report, so that clients, their families, and their healthcare providers can work together to maximize functioning. Above all, I strive to provide an objective opinion about an individual's cognition.

Men, let's be real—society tells you to tough it out, but where has that gotten you? Stressed, burnt out, and disconnected from those you care about. It's time to shatter the stigma that says asking for help makes you weak. As a therapist who understands the unique pressures men face, I'm here to tell you that vulnerability isn't your enemy—it's your strength. This isn't about fixing you; it's about empowering you to reclaim your life. Ready to stop surviving and start thriving?

Are you an individual or couple who is struggling with emotional distress related to anxiety, stress, anger, depression or grief? Without proper support processing difficult emotions can be challenging. I can help you to get at the 'roots' of your distress as well as help you to become in touch with the concerns, goals, and needs that underlie your experiences. I also work with clients to address issues related to self and identity as well as clients who have faced attachment trauma or traumatic experiences that have altered their sense of self, others and the world around them.
