About Me

I first came to therapy as a client who was seeking support as I navigated the new and unfamiliar territories of sexuality, motherhood, divorce, the loss of my parents, and aging. For me, therapy became a safe space where I could dive into uncomfortable places and freely explore what was meaningful.

Through counselling, I was able to get unstuck, heal, and build the relational and life skills we all need to thrive. It was a transformative process that helped me connect more deeply not only with those I care about but also with a more authentic version of myself. This experience, and its positive impact on my life, is what motivated me to become a therapist and informs the way I practice.

My Approach

I work from the perspective that we are all naturally resilient, creative, and whole. I fundamentally believe that no one is broken and that we may simply need support to reconnect with our authentic selves.

When working with individuals, couples, and families, I draw from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and somatic approaches. This involves looking at your challenging thoughts and behaviours alongside your body’s emotional and nervous system patterns, all of which quietly influence the way you think, feel, and show up in the world.

Throughout this process, you’ll develop new skills that 1) free you from unwanted cycles, 2) empower you to choose actions that align with what you value, and 3) gain the freedom and flexibility to live the life you want to live.

While the work may be difficult and deep, it doesn’t have to be unpleasant. For me, humor is an essential part of the process. I very much look forward to working with you.
