If you struggle with feeling out of control with your reactions, I am here to help! I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist, and I bring a unique background of animal biology and neuroscience to my work. I am drawn to the deep work of psychotherapy, that goes beyond just listening and coping skills, into the root of issues to resolve them. I support people who are struggling in their relationships, who want to not just manage, but understand and resolve their feelings, and those who want more fulfillment out of life. I work particularly in areas like late diagnosis ADHD, anxiety, adulting, queer relationships and men's issues.

I specialize in supporting clients hoping to facilitate personal and post-traumatic growth and address issues like depression, anxiety, self-worth, and trauma.
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

I have a passion for working with pre-teen, adolescents, adults, and families grappling with issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relational issues, life transitions, conflict, abuse, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. My professional experience involves supporting individuals and families in the community in various settings, including working with children and families involved in the child welfare system, as well as with children and adults alike with complex mental health needs.

Are these feelings holding you back from opportunities, from forming meaningful relationships, or simply from experiencing joy and satisfaction in your everyday life? Do you wish for a life where you feel confident and valued, capable of stepping into social and professional situations without that inner critic holding you back? Or perhaps anxiety is your constant companion, a relentless voice that colours your world with worry and fear, making ordinary tasks feel impossible.

As a highly-sensitive, anxiety prone type A overachiever myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to prioritize your mental health in today's hustle culture society.
You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

Are you a Gen Z or Millenial who suffers from anxiety? If you find your mind racing with critical thoughts about yourself, social events, work or school, I'm here to help.

You did all the things you were "supposed" to do - shouldn't you be happy? Despite your hard work and best intentions, when your head hits the pillow at night, the thoughts and anxieties just won't stop.

I help parents at all stages to unpack and process the unique challenges that are creating pain for them - as a parent who has experienced postpartum anxiety and depression and the ongoing challenges of raising a young family - I see you.
So many parents feel blindsided by how differently parenting feels than what they expected - we are told that we will be exhausted, but filled with joy. And while there may be joy, we also often experience feelings of grief, resentment, helplessness and rage. We are confronted by the limits of our control in so many ways, and are more consumed with worry for our child and getting everything just right than we could have ever imagined. Our relationship with our partner may feel foreign and hard, and the ways that we would normally care for ourselves feel out of reach. Perhaps we think, should it be this hard?
