I help people (age 12+) to navigate the ups & downs that come with life, including issues related to stress, negative self talk, emotion regulation, self-esteem, and other emotional and/or mental health challenges (including ADHD, self-harm, school avoidance, anxiety, perfectionism, and more). My style of therapy supports gentle curiousity about the roots of an emotion and/or behaviour, building internal resources, and increasing resiliency. After all, life isn’t always easy and I want people to trust that they have the understanding, capabilities, and skills to get through (and even thrive!), especially when things get rough.
Clients I've worked with describe me as warm, authentic, and invested in their wellness. The relationship is the foundation from where we can do the work to make your life more consistently fulfilling. My approach is person-centred, strength-focused & relatable, while based in proven clinical success and evidence-based modalities (CBT, ACT, etc.)
It is a true privilege to be a therapist. I know the strength that vulnerability takes and have the honour of being a safe, consistent, non-judgmental support to people during the times when it might be the hardest. Please feel welcomed to reach out and I'll look forward to chatting more about how I might best support you, or your loved one!

I work with clients who are struggling with underlying mental health issues that often can look like irritability, impulsivity, risk-taking behaviour, anxiety, school avoidance, big emotions, perfectionism, family conflict, and more. During our sessions, we will get into the root causes of the symptoms and co-create a plan that supports greater self-knowledge, resiliency, and functioning.
