Are you someone who identifies as highly sensitive, struggles with people pleasing, or has difficulty setting boundaries and often feels burnt out as a result? I am here to support individuals and families facing anxiety, emotional challenges, trauma, and relationship concerns. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, transform old narratives that no longer serve them, and discover more balanced ways to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating these often complicated challenges, fostering a more curious and compassionate sense of self.

Do you ever feel like things are just piling up around you and you can’t keep up? Or that you give until there is nothing left? Working in the field of autism support for the past 13 years and primarily supporting my sibling with autism, I know that feeling too well. As a therapist, I can support you with caregiver burnout and stress. I am passionate about providing neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming care. Many of my clients are seeking support understanding and working with neurodiversity. I also have a personal connection to bariatric surgery and disordered eating and would love to help others going through the same journey.

I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care, especially when facing the isolation of anxiety, depression, or life’s challenges. I take an intersectional approach to therapy, recognizing that the various aspects of our identity—culture, race, gender, and more—shape our experiences and well-being. Client’s may feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures, uncertain about their path, and in need of a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I don’t believe that one singular part of our identity defines us. Instead, I see my clients as whole individuals, and I work alongside them to uncover their strengths.

I specialize in ADHD & Autism Lvl. 1 and also have experience working with social & general anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidal feelings, substance abuse, video game addiction, stress, and relationship concerns (family, romantic, and friendships). Working with neurodivergent kids, adults, couples, & families is very important to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and struggled a lot without proper support. I get how frustrating navigating the mental health and education systems can be and want to support others in learning to harness their amazing abilities and make lasting positive change.

I offer a variety of client centred psychotherapeutic services specializing in individual and family therapy. My relaxed play-based approach helps children explore difficult emotions and situations. I use a strength-based approach helping adolescents building their self confidence, self esteem and coping strategies.
