***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked.

Each one of us has an innate capacity to heal. It is a common, human experience to feel stuck at times, as if something from the past isn’t ready for us to move forward. This stagnancy brings many people to therapy. It is my belief that with a therapist who is able to connect with your needs, that part of yourself can feel ready to move into a place of healing. I believe this shift happens within relationships built on trust and connection. My approach is to build this with you collaboratively, compassionately, and with non-judgement to support you in witnessing and processing distressing life experiences, emotions, and beliefs.

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating and holding a therapeutic space or "container", enabling my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to resolution. An inner space opens for something new. It is a tremendous honour and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

When you find yourself going through a life transition, feeling stressed, depressed or grieving a loss, you might feel overwhelmed and alone. Often our thoughts and feelings get tangled with expectations leaving us unsure about how to take care of our mental health. Together we will explore what is working for you and what is not. When you get to know yourself better you can begin to see unwanted and self-defeating patterns as they emerge. By developing greater self-awareness and practicing self-acceptance, you will begin to discover new ways to grow and strengthen as a person.

Do you feel the pressure to be perfect all the time? A relentless pursuit that extends into every corner of your life, from the food you put on your plate, your relationships, the demands of your job, and the expectations surrounding your appearance. These expectations can be overwhelming, leading to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. But what if we shifted the focus from pursuing perfection to authenticity and self-compassion? You’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to redefine success and find strength in vulnerability. You are ready to love yourself. I want to help you get there.

You’re someone who’s always pushing forward, balancing the demands of life, career, and personal goals. You’ve explored self-help resources, dabbled in mindfulness, and perhaps even sought therapy, but still feel like you’re not where you want to be. Overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, or maybe ADHD are part of your daily challenges, compounded by the quest for a healthier work-life balance. Your relationships might also reflect this struggle, marked by a tendency to prioritize others’ needs or finding it hard to achieve fulfillment with those closest to you.
