My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe space that welcomes you to show up as your unique, authentic self. Incorporating a feminist, person-centred, affirming lens to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to help them deepen their understanding of and relationship with themselves. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, painting, singing, musical theatre, walking in nature, and spending time with my curious and creative 8-year-old.

Navigating relationships in today’s face paced and demanding can be very challenging. Today’s couples face increased financial and mental health concerns as they try raising families and or strengthening their own relationships and following their own individual dreams. I have worked with couples of all age ranges, diverse backgrounds to help them reconnect and rebuild their relationships after facing life’s daily stressors, addiction, infidelity and frequent absences of a spouse due to deployments. I am also very passionate about helping adults who struggle with trauma either from military service or family or chronic trauma.

Are you struggling with anxiety in the form of worrying, intrusive thoughts, or maybe other uncomfortable experiences such as panic? Perhaps you have experienced a traumatic situation at work or in your personal life that continues to impact your life months or years down the line. These experiences can take us away from living lives consistent with our vision or values. Change can be difficult, yet very rewarding. I have 8 years of experience guiding individuals in their wellness journeys toward improved clarity and alignment with their values and goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges—whether it's trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, or everyday stressors like anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns and family conflicts?

Whether you're dealing with personal challenges or relationship difficulties, I aim to help you build resilience and find growth on your own terms.
