My practice is grounded in a holistic and non-pathologizing approach that is client-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based.

With me, you'll learn how your brain and nervous system work, and what to do to work with your body, not against it. Together, we’ll look at your medications, health conditions, thoughts, and lifestyle to find the path to living your best life.

Are you feeling stuck, or unsure of next steps that feel right for you? Does life just feel heavy, or like you “should” be able to handle it? Are health difficulties or chronic illness become a part of your reality and you’re not sure how to cope? Are you a parent looking for support, or a couple hoping to work through stuck points or learn new tools to connect or communicate?

I support individuals through life's challenges, whether you're exploring identity, navigating grief, living with chronic pain or illness, or simply needing a safe space to heal. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion and respect for your unique journey.

I work mainly using emotionally focused individual therapy helping you to understand how your coping mechanisms throughout life make sense for what you've been through, but maybe aren't helping you now. We work together to create a safe space for you to work through any traumatic memories you may have, or any blocks and challenges you want to work through.

I provide support to adults and couples. I have experience working with individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, gender issues, substance use, low self-esteem, stress-related issues, and chronic illness. I recognize that it takes a great deal of courage to make the decision to start counselling. I consider it a privilege to be invited into your life
