Accepting new clients! - I’m so glad you’re here. Life can feel messy, confusing, and out of balance sometimes, and we all need someone to talk to. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, a long-standing issue, or recent curve ball you didn’t see coming, I believe change is possible and that we all have within us resilience and an innate capacity to heal. I work from an evidence-based, mindfulness-based perspective and believe firmly that healing happens on the foundation of a trusting, authentic relationship. I’m confident that together we can find a new and hopeful way forward.
I work with individuals and couples on a variety of issues including conflict, emotional disconnection, communication issues, depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, self-esteem, grief and more. I specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and high performance work stress and burnout. I am trauma-informed, inclusive, and LGBTQIA+ positive.
Coming alongside people as they journey through life’s challenges is a great privilege and I feel honoured to share space with the people I support. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment. I look forward to connecting. Feel free to reach out by email or phone for a free consultation.

I offer evidence-based, mindfulness-based, spiritually-integrated mental health care. My spiritually integrated approach recognizes there is so much more to life than what we can see, taste, touch, and smell. It acknowledges our inner knowing, inherent wisdom, and the mystery of it all. I draw upon numerous evidence-based approaches and weave mindfulness and meditation into every session.
