I am passionate about supporting adults who struggle with substance use disorders and other addiction, ADHD, and personality disorders (such as Borderline Personality Disorder).
Many of us have become masters in pretending that things are fine, when in reality our lives seem to be falling apart. Inside we feel like we’re drowning: overwhelmed by emotion, lost, & hopeless as we try to carry the burden of unresolved trauma, pain, & life’s curveballs hurled our way. Pushing aside these problems to get through each day to manage life’s responsibilities, we find ourselves numb, depressed, anxious, self-medicating, isolating, angry, & struggling with relationships. Together, we can work towards confronting unhealthy behaviours, understanding emotions, & healing from past trauma to create transformational change.

Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy with a focus on helping clients feel deeply understood and supported. My approach integrates parts work, which allows us to explore different aspects of yourself, fostering self-acceptance and healing without judgment. My goal is not to change who you are but to help you embrace and appreciate yourself more fully. In therapy, I create a compassionate and safe space where we can explore concerns such as addictions, anxiety, and grief.

Living with "borderline personality disorder" (BPD) can be isolating, confusing, and exhausting. So can seeking support — especially if we have experienced stigma, shaming, or felt misunderstood in the mainstream mental health world. I believe it doesn’t have to be this way, and I work to offer support and information for people with BPD that honours and accepts the many different ways we can show up in the world. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and respected. Our work together will be co-created, rather than defined or directed by me. It will be a space where you have the opportunity to talk, feel, process, and grow.

I seek to create therapeutic spaces that are both supportive and exploratory. Drawing on my training as a therapist and literary scholar, I believe in the value of thinking carefully, deeply, and creatively about the stories we tell (and sometimes don’t tell) about ourselves. By learning to tell their stories, and perhaps learning to tell their stories differently, my clients are able to find balance, take risks, and centre healing in their lives.

Accepting new clients! My psychoanalytical practice is grounded in the belief that long-standing, repetitive issues — those that seem to resist resolution despite your best efforts — are most effectively addressed by uncovering unconscious motivations that drive thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. I work with challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, loss, addictions, physical illness, and family-of-origin issues.

Grief leaves us feeling lost, isolated, and overwhelmed. It can be hard to see a way forward when the weight of loss feels so heavy and unbearable. You may feel waves of anger, guilt, and loneliness, making you question your own strength. If you are grappling with the end of a relationship, a life altering diagnosis, or the loss of a loved one, know that you don’t need to go through this alone. I support clients like you (and me!) navigate grief and loss. Together, let’s learn to understand your experiences, so you can find meaning and resilience in the face of loss.
