Counselling Therapist
Canadian Certified Counsellor
EnglishI’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to have it all figured out. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create space for meaningful change. My approach is direct, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Sliding-scale options are available to help make therapy accessible.
Background
I support people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With experience in crisis intervention and working with veterans, I help clients explore patterns related to PTSD, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and emotional regulation. My approach blends evidence-based therapy, including EMDR, nervous system science, and parts work. I aim to create a genuine connection to help you process difficult emotions, break old patterns, and create hange.
Your therapeutic experience with me
When you sit with me, you’ll find a supportive space where every part of your story is welcome. I’m not your typical therapist—I bring warmth, curiosity, and a touch of humor to help make hard conversations feel a little lighter. As a neurodivergent parent who has worked to break generational cycles, I blend lived experience with clinical training. I support clients navigating anxiety, attachment, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges with a trauma-informed, science-based, and heart-centered approach, always moving at your pace.
Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
What feels like a "problem" today was likely a solution that helped you survive something difficult. We'll explore why your mind developed these patterns, what they were protecting you from, how you learned to adapt and use these insights to build better tools for moving forward.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Working with different parts of yourself. Recognizing and harmonizing the different parts of yourself to promote inner healing
Polyvagal
Understanding your nervous system and looking for tools to support it.
Person-centered Therapy
You and what you want in therapy is most important
I also draw on other evidence based approaches that can gently support you when they align with what you need:
Attachment Focused Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Focused populations and cultural backgrounds
These are the communities and cultural backgrounds I focus on, and I bring a sincere commitment to supporting you in a way that feels respectful and genuine:
Populations
Adults
Teenagers
Neurodivergent Clients
Children
2SLGBTQIA Community
Cultural communities
Veterans
