I believe healing begins in relationship, when you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are. I am a trauma-informed therapist who offers a warm, supportive, and inclusive space for healing. I work with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including trauma and PTSD, self-harming behaviours, grief and loss, anxiety, sleep concerns, and difficulties with anger and emotional regulation.
I am committed to supporting neurodivergent individuals and LGBTQ2S+ clients in a way that honours identity, difference, and lived experience, and fosters a sense of safety, belonging, and respect.
My approach is eclectic and holistic, recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, nervous system, and relationships. I draw from EMDR, DBT, CBT, and ACT, while remaining grounded in person-centred and strengths-based care. Therapy is collaborative and thoughtfully paced, tailored to your unique needs and lived experience.
I understand that many coping strategies—such as self-harm, anger, or withdrawal—developed as ways to survive overwhelming experiences. In our work together, we focus on safety, compassion, and building new skills without judgment.
Above all, my goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with your strengths. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Together, we can do hard things.

You know something needs to change, and perhaps you’ve already tried doing things differently. Yet part of you keeps getting in the way, and you can’t figure out why.
Maybe you’ve found yourself in one disappointing relationship after another. Maybe you notice yourself acting or reacting in ways that don’t align with the person you want to be. If you’re feeling stuck in the same painful patterns, watching yourself run into the same old problems, it isn’t for lack of trying. It’s a sign of internal conflict—a deeply rooted dilemma that unconsciously shapes how you think and feel about yourself, relate to others, and engage with the world.
As a psychotherapist, I help people free themselves from internal conflicts and resulting patterns that quietly sabotage their wellbeing.
We’ll look closely at patterns in your relationships, your work, and your daily life. Together, we’ll identify recurring difficulties and uncover the internal conflicts that underlie them. By exploring these conflicts, we’ll develop a shared understanding of why they exist and how they keep old patterns alive—patterns that were once adaptive earlier in life, but no longer are. Finally, I’ll help you work through these core conflicts and build new patterns that align with your current goals, values, and needs. This approach is known as psychodynamic therapy.
I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, an evidence-based approach proven effective for common, complex, and chronic mental health issues. Beyond symptom relief, common benefits also include improved relationships, emotion regulation, and work ability. My background in this approach includes two years of post-graduate education, peer-reviewed articles in the journal Psychodynamic Practice, and personal experience as a client in long-term therapy.
My goal is to help you achieve meaningful, long-lasting change, so you can enjoy more of what life has to offer and navigate it’s challenges more effectively. While psychodynamic therapy can be especially helpful for this, I also integrate techniques from other evidence-based approaches when I believe they’ll be helpful to you.
I’ve worked and volunteered in different mental health settings since 2019, including crisis intervention, psychiatric inpatient care, behaviour therapy, and community counselling.

Hello, and welcome! Thank you for the honour of walking alongside you as you navigate your path of healing and self-discovery. I have a continual growth mindset balanced with a heart for inner peace, contentment, and compassion. I work with my clients to create a space for deep processing and emotional awareness, leading to an innate sense of agency and realizing tangible goals and growth.
You will have the opportunity to look at the many facets of human experience that have shaped you, as well as your perspectives, self-talk, and emotional landscape. Through our work together, a deeper understanding of how these elements have influenced your choices, relationships, and self-concept will allow for clarity and healing in the moment, as well as action and direction for the future. These insights can be invaluable in times of crisis, transition, and/or stagnation and can also be used to foster positive changes and patterns regardless of your current life situation.
I value diversity of personalities, experiences, and backgrounds. As a musician, I also value the creative arts and nonverbal communication. Whether your primary objective is verbal processing, emotional processing, self-expression, or goal setting, I would like to welcome you into a space of discovering more about who you are and what you are capable of.
