I aim to provide a non-judgemental and empathetic space to create warm and compassionate therapeutic relationships. My goal is to assist clients in building on their strengths and develop long-term coping skills to promote insight, growth, self-discovery, and positive change at a pace that feels right for them. I foster a healing environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions while continuously offering support, respect, and care.

What is my approach to helping? Just as the body requires nurturing and attention to keep it healthy, the mind also requires maintenance and consideration around how it can be used to create the life circumstances that you desire. I work with individuals and couples that have interest in gaining increased awareness about their ways of being in their lives in order to bring about alternative outcomes. I am a platform for clients to discuss concerns, clarify what would be helpful and strengthen resolve and understanding of personal resources to make a desired change in their lives.

Hey there, I'm glad you're here! I am a passionate and heart-driven psychotherapist. In our sessions, you'll find me blending self-compassion, relational, cognitive-behavioural, emotion-focused, and narrative modalities with some humour and empathy to create a space where you can thrive. I also have a nerdy obsession for all things brain science and health, and love using this knowledge to facilitate further self-awareness and self-understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Building strong, genuine relationships with my clients is my jam, and I love diving deep into the stories that shape who you are.

I am currently accepting new individual or couple clients for in person or virtual therapy sessions. As an individual and couple's therapist, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and personal challenges. I know at times we are overwhelmed by life's challenges. This can lead to feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless. I believe therapy is a great asset in getting you through such a difficult time and moving towards feeling better. I would be happy to be your therapist and accompany you on this new experience.

I believe when we feel understood, validated, and supported…we heal. This is what psychotherapy is intended to do. My style is gentle and compassionate. I am an encourager by nature, so can help you identify & build on what you already do well. I am also sensitive by nature and there’s a good chance you are as well (it’s a genetic trait called "Highly Sensitive Person" that shows up in about 20% of the population & about 50% of therapy clients).

When we experience adversity, it is not uncommon to feel like life is coming apart at the seams. Even basic tasks can seem unbearable to face and reaching out is hard to do. With 8 years experience in the field of Mental Health, I aim to create a counselling relationship that is client-centered, emphatic, and respectful. I believe in the inherent strength of individuals and families to identify needs, solve problems, and process emotions in order to move towards personal growth and bring about desired change.

Many of us don’t realize just how much painful events from our past still affect our lives today. They can affect the way we interact with others, our communication styles, the people we choose to form relationships with, and even sometimes our health. Things that once didn’t bother you may now make you more emotional, angry or overwhelmed. This may be a sign that you are running out of room to stuff your feelings. Or maybe you feel as though you have lost yourself, or just feel stuck. All of us need help at one time or another. If you are ready, I would be happy to help you on your path to feeling better and improving your life.

The stress of daily responsibilities, relationships, work, and emotions can feel like too much. Maybe you're at the start of a new job or a new city is feeling overwhelming. Perhaps you’re coming out of a relationship or just getting into one and feeling nervous. Maybe you’re tired of putting the needs of others ahead of your own. Have you been asking “Who am I” or “Where do I go from here”? Perhaps it’s a little bit of everything, all at once.
