I believe that healing happens in connection. We aren’t meant to navigate pain, grief, or change alone — and therapy can offer a space to be met with care, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. My hope is that you’ll feel safe to bring all of yourself— not just the parts that feel “put together,” but also the parts that feel uncertain, stuck, or vulnerable.
Together, we’ll explore your patterns, emotions, and relationships — both past and present — to understand how they’ve shaped your sense of self and the way you engage with the world. Through this awareness, we can create the conditions for meaningful change. With compassion, curiosity, and openness, we’ll make space for greater freedom, self-insight, and lasting transformation. My approach is collaborative and rooted in deep respect for your inner wisdom and your capacity to heal.
It has been a great honour to sit with people in their most vulnerable and transformative moments — to witness their courage, their creativity, and the strength they sometimes didn’t even know they had. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. You just have to start where you are.

I hope to hold a compassionate space where we can accept the purposes of our behaviours, while challenging ourselves to pursue new, more pleasant ways of being. We are not always shown the acceptance and compassion I believe is needed to grow into the best version of ourselves. My hope is that our therapy can help you feel accepted as you are so that you can grow into who you’d like to be. Our therapy space can be one in which we can slow down, feel compassion for ourselves, and make meaningful changes towards the goals you put forward. I believe in understanding each individual’s unique experiences to tailor an approach for challenges and personal growth. I welcome clients of all ages navigating transitions or seeking growth. Together, we navigate life’s complexities, fostering self-compassion and empowering meaningful changes toward your goals in a supportive and compassionate space.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that every individual possesses the innate potential to lead a fulfilling life in alignment with their core values and deepest desires. As a therapist, I prioritize building a trusting and safe relationship with my clients, empowering them to pursue growth and embrace discomfort in the pursuit of these values.
My emphasis on trauma-informed care recognizes the significant impact of past experiences on mental health. I primarily draw upon AEDP, ACT, and EFT. I work with different age groups and have supported clients’ concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, identity, trauma, addiction, life transitions, relationship issues and mental performance. I also work with athletes and high-performers. My approach considers both mental performance and well-being, helping clients achieve their goals while prioritizing their mental health. It has been my experience, that when we can deeply explore the unconscious patterns and themes of our lives, we can break down the barriers that impede performing our best.
