To begin, I would like to share a reading that resonates with me personally and professionally. In "Decolonizing Therapy," Dr. Jennifer Mullan offers, "We are demanding trauma-responsive, culturally full, transparent, anti-carceral, non-ableist care. We all deserve this. Our children deserve this. Our elders deserve this. Future generations deserve this. This book is my offering for more cross-movement, intergenerational, neurodivergent, gender-queer, ancestral, abolition-centered, embodied therapeutic work that actually works, and does not devour." <3

I am a somatic psychotherapist specializing in body-based healing. I enjoy working with clients who want to step out of disempowering narratives and embrace their own capacity. I have 20+ years of experience working with many populations and conditions. Recently I have specialized in couples therapy using the Developmental Model and Attachment work. I only work with a limited number of couples at this time, but these approaches deeply inform my work, even with individuals. I have recently narrowed my practice to focus on clients in acute need or looking to do more focused chapters of work or growth vs ongoing maintenance therapy.

<- New sessions available mornings & evenings - New couples welcome -> Are you living with challenging routines? Having the same fight over and over or the same negative self-thoughts every night? Often, these painful patterns came out of initial attempts to help care for yourself or your relationship. My goal is to support you to explore how these patterns influence your life today and then to continue the parts that serve you and to change the ones that don’t. You may build new boundaries, find ways to quiet shame and shape new narratives of possibility to find the growth you're looking for.

Through this process, we can develop your inherent inner knowing, moving you towards greater alignment in your life. I offer practical tools to clients to address a wide range of issues including clarifying spiritual direction, learning to navigate difficult emotions, and enhancing confidence to pursue goals.

Looking for an EMDR therapist can be challenging. For those looking for the first time, I'd like to offer some thoughts on finding one who's right for you. While credentials and experience have their place, at the end of the day the most important thing is fit. I encourage you to "go with your gut." Do a phone consult. Did they give you space to talk? Did you feel heard? Sometimes what we need is feeling supported by someone who "gets" us. Other times we grow from someone who is able to challenge us in just the right way.

In life we all need hope, validation, just to know that today, "this too shall pass." I strive to connect with individuals with honesty, warmth, and empathy. When one makes that decision to seek emotional guidance, I understand the vulnerability and the bravery of that moment. While allowing one to take the time they need to reach their desires of the heart and/or identify what one desires through a space of compassion and mindfulness.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in therapy with children and adolescents. I believe we all develop "ways of being" in the world as a result of our innate temperament and early experiences. Psychotherapy and psychological testing offer the chance to look at these ways of being with a compassionate lens, honoring the value they have held in your life while determining whether they are still useful to you now. Through this process, new ways of being can emerge, leading to greater satisfaction in your life.

I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, art therapist, mental health advocate, and educator. My approach to therapy is fuelled by compassion and curiosity, but is equally rooted in Relational-cultural Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy – three perspectives which blend well with holistic wellbeing and deep healing. I work in a trauma- informed, healing-centered way and am sensitive to one’s intersectional identity. I draw on embodied approaches to wellbeing and work to support self-compassion, self-regulation, and to foster resilience in those I am privileged to accompany along their journeys.

Are you someone who feels unheard and seeks a safe space to express yourself without judgment? You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, or identity struggles, particularly within your community. Your goal may be to heal, grow, and feel validated in a world that often overlooks your experiences. Part of that struggle may be finding a competent therapist who listens deeply and understands your unique challenges and background.

Mental health issues are as unique as the person going through them. It can be frustrating or frightening when no cookie cutter treatment works for everyone. I believe that we often receive oppressive and harmful messages that can lead to mistaken beliefs about ourselves and get in the way of achieving a meaningful and fulfilling existence. If you feel lost or overwhelmed by the weight of the world, I can support you with deconstructing damaging thoughts, emotions and experiences to find empowerment in yourself and move forward as the expert in your life. I strive to make therapy an insightful and uplifting experience for all.
