I believe in creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and accepted for who you are, no matter where you are in your journey. Therapy is about offering you a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. There’s no rush to "fix" or "figure out" anything — instead, we’ll take the time needed to get to the heart of what’s keeping you feeling stuck, all while honoring your unique process. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I’m committed to anti-oppressive, culturally responsive care that honours unique intersectional identities.

Life can be hard and finding a therapist who truly hears you can be challenging. You might feel that no one understands what you're going through. Experiencing pain alone may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or numb as the days pass. Eventually the experience may feel like a never-ending rollercoaster with more downs than ups. However, seeking therapy takes strength and courage, and each part of you is welcomed (even your most hurtful parts or the parts you might avoid). Sometimes help is needed to cope with life obstacles, manage interpersonal relationships, regulate your emotions, and heal from your traumatic experiences.

I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.

The foundation of my work is related to the impact or the disruption various negative life experiences have on both our psychological, and intellectual development stages. This allows me and my patient to identify the root cause of their chief concern that was presented in our first session, and in many cases treating various mental health disorders such as anxiety, grief, bipolar, depression, obsessive compulsive, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress, as well.

I'm a huge advocate for seeking help through challenging phases in our life. It is normal to experience complicated emotions, feel lost and disconnected sometimes. It is monumental to understand that struggling with mental health does not make us weak but makes us normal! If you have a mind- you have mental health, and we all struggle with mental and physical health at some point. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection- our body ascertains and embodies the signs when we are struggling. Therapy can be a catalyst for developing lifelong skills and a gateway to becoming a more mindful, resilient and aware version of yourself.
