As an integrative therapist, I blend elements of EFIT, DBT, IFS, SFBT, CBT, mindfulness & body-based modalities.
Welcome! If you find yourself stuck in rumination mode, overwhelmed, hoping to learn more about yourself and develop new, healthier ways of relating to others—I might be the therapist for you. I work with individuals (18 yr+) who struggle with anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem concerns, stress/burnout, procrastination, interpersonal/relationship issues, difficult life transitions, and complex/attachment trauma. With nearly a decade of experience in social services, I am passionate about helping people step out of their comfort zones and achieve meaningful changes—and I’d be honoured to partner with you on your healing journey.

My approach includes existential, psychodynamic, cognitive and experiential elements.
My practice has four foci each supporting personal growth, identity and well-being: 1. LGBT concerns: coming out, loneliness, dating, relationships, family conflict, developing acceptance of self and by others, consolidating identity, loss and adaptation in these situations, aging, illness; 2. trauma impeding life today: neglect, abuse, bullying, exposure to dangerous or dysfunctional environments, accident, loss, etc. 3. couples: long-term, new or dating, opposite and same sex, experiencing conflict, communication disconnects, codependency, affairs, family concerns, loss, substance abuse, addictions; 4. career counseling to align temperament to vocation, achieving work/life balance, supporting job loss/search and life stage changes such as retirement.

Healing is within reach for you. I am here to help navigate the weight of your burdens—whether they stem from within yourself or others. Life is filled with potential and opportunities, and it can make us feel pressured, small, vulnerable, and disconnected. I strive to create a space where you can share the parts of yourself that often remain unseen, feel a sense of belonging, refuse to settle, explore sensitive topics, and process complex emotions. This commitment extends to romantic relationships. As a relationship specialist, I support couples in transforming negative communication patterns into deeper connection and intimacy.

The experiences and challenges we go through in life do not define us but, instead, shape us into the individuals we are today. These experiences help us flourish and grow in ways we could not imagine ourselves. This is a philosophy that I hold in great regard when it comes to my practice and work with clients. I recognize that therapy can be intimidating to some. However, I am passionate about creating a space where we can come together and work through whatever you’re going through, no matter what it may look like.

Your inner world shapes your experience of the outer world, and vice versa. And so it makes sense to understand your inner workings, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself, and remove the barriers in the psyche that prevent you from experiencing the world in a way that feels authentic, liberated, peaceful and expansive. This is the gift of psychotherapy – whether through talk therapy or art therapy, I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences collected on your journey, as well as to spark the change you wish to see in your life.

Carrying around the weight and impacts of trauma, negative self-talk, and heavy suppressed emotions can be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. Having someone actively listen without placing blame, shame, guilt, or judgment can be the support needed when you're struggling to cope. Taking the first step towards healing and returning to yourself is acknowledging that you don't have to carry the weight alone. It would be an honour to join you on your journey towards self-discovery, healing and wellness by shining light on the power of your vulnerability, resiliency, and strengths.
