Are you struggling to cope with a traumatic event, life transition, or stress? Having issues in your romantic relationship? Struggling to manage tough feelings? Feel like you are not living life in a way that matters to you?

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or a different challenge, finding a therapist is a great place to start. Therapy provides a safe and confidential space for you to speak openly about your feelings, fears, and hopes for your future. Why is this valuable? Exploring your emotional landscape provides insight into the obstacles that may be getting in the way of your wellbeing. By engaging in therapy, you can deepen your understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Enhanced self-awareness opens up possibilities for healing and change, helping you align how you live with who you are.

I know that making a decision to start therapy isn't easy. It can be anxiety-inducing, whether you are new to the process or experienced. I understand that and will work with you at your own pace. It is also important that you feel a sense of connection with your therapist, and that you feel seen, understood, and valued. As we work together, we will build a safe therapeutic relationship for you to explore your patterns in relationship with others, and with yourself. I will listen with curiosity and compassion to your stories- the ones that are causing discomfort or pain in your life and the ones that bring you happiness.

Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation.

I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up.
