My path into this work has not been linear, but it has always been rooted in a deep respect for people’s lived experiences and a belief that support should be accessible, compassionate, and human. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across schools, treatment centres, social services, and medical settings, witnessing how emotional well-being is shaped not only by individual experiences, but by relationships, systems, and access to care.

Early in my career, I was drawn to work with children and youth, which gave me a lasting understanding of how early emotional environments, especially those marked by inconsistency, stress, or unmet needs, can shape how we relate to ourselves and others later in life. Today, that foundation informs my work with adults, particularly those who notice long-standing patterns around anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or difficulty with closeness.

Working in healthcare and community settings also exposed me to the realities of inequity and access barriers. I saw how easily people can fall through the cracks, and how often individuals are asked to “push through” without adequate support. These experiences continue to shape how I show up in therapy: with curiosity, humility, and an awareness that context matters.

I hold a strong respect for neurodiversity and have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including adults with autism and ADHD. Many have spent years adapting or masking in environments that were not designed with their needs in mind. My approach is affirming and individualized, focused on reducing stress and supporting more authentic ways of relating rather than trying to change who someone is.

Since completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, I bring a more integrated clinical lens to this work, grounded in attachment-informed and trauma-aware practice, while remaining practical and accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced, and responsive. I value reflection, emotional safety, and building insight that can be applied meaningfully to everyday life.

At its core, my work is about creating space: space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust—especially during times of stress, transition, or change.

I believe meaningful care includes attention to access and equity. Limited sliding-scale spots are available for individuals on fixed incomes during select days and times. My practice is fully virtual, and if accessing online sessions feels unfamiliar or like a barrier, I’m happy to offer a free phone call to help you feel comfortable and prepared for your first virtual appointment.

You’re exhausted from trying to make it work. The distance, miscommunication, and silence after fights, it’s all starting to feel like too much. You want to feel close again, but the path forward feels unclear. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I help couples slow things down, rebuild trust after betrayal, and reconnect in a deeper, more secure way. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, grief, or stuck relationship patterns. Together, we’ll make sense of your emotions and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT). I also integrate EMDR to process trauma, DBT to manage intense emotions, CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on your strengths. I work from a trauma-informed, client-centred lens—always at your pace, always in collaboration.

With a background as a Registered Nurse and Developmental Service Worker, I bring both clinical skill and deep empathy to our sessions. Clients often share that they feel safe, seen, and supported in our work. You don’t have to carry this alone—let’s reconnect you to what matters most, within yourself and in your relationships.
