Life inevitably brings challenges: anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, illness, and major life transitions. Wherever you’re starting from, my hope is that this can be a space where you feel genuinely safe, seen without judgment, heard without hurry, and met with warmth at whatever pace feels right for you.
I work with adults and adolescents across a wide range of concerns, often incorporating family and relational dynamics into the work. My practice includes particular depth in trauma and EMDR, neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism), women’s health across the lifespan, and chronic and progressive illness, alongside extensive experience supporting adolescents through life transitions and identity development, and offering parent coaching for families.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you access the strengths already within you, and gently building the skills to move through hardship toward a life that feels intentional, connected, and meaningful.
My priority is to foster a therapeutic space grounded in warmth, compassion, and safety, where you can show up exactly as you are, and where meaningful change becomes possible.
My therapeutic approach is both behaviourally and cognitively oriented, focused on helping clients access their most powerful sources of coping and resilience. I draw heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside self-compassion practices, and integrate a multidisciplinary toolkit tailored to each client’s goals, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing.
I believe we are all experts in managing our own lives, and that our work together is a partnership rooted in equality and collaboration. Above all, I want you to feel safe, respected, and never judged in our work together. I am committed to supporting diversity and inclusion for every client I work with.
Trauma & EMDR:
Trauma can make the world feel unpredictable, and even talking about it can feel daunting; you don’t have to face it alone or before you’re ready. I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a gentle, evidence-based approach for processing difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe. I support clients working through trauma, PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), and secondary/vicarious trauma, including trauma held in the body.
Neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism):
I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, from childhood through adulthood. My approach affirms neurodivergence as a difference, not a deficit, and focuses on building genuine self-understanding, practical day-to-day strategies, and self-advocacy skills tailored to how you actually think and function.
Women’s Health & Perinatal Mental Health:
I offer dedicated, compassionate support for women navigating mental health concerns tied to reproductive and hormonal health across the lifespan, including perinatal (prenatal and postnatal) anxiety and depression, fertility challenges, pregnancy and infant loss, menopause, and the identity and relationship shifts that come with major life transitions. I provide a space to work through these experiences with validation, compassion, and practical, evidence-based support.
Chronic & Progressive Illness:
I work with individuals and families adjusting to and living with a chronic or progressive illness. This often means grieving the life or identity a diagnosis has changed, managing anxiety about an uncertain or evolving future, and navigating medical systems and caregiver relationships. Together, we find ways to hold both grief and hope, without judgment or pressure to feel a certain way. My intention is to help you integrate illness into your life story without letting it define you.
Life Transitions & Identity Development:
Life transitions, whether a new diagnosis, a change in career or relationship, becoming a parent, or the ordinary uncertainty of figuring out who you are, often bring up bigger questions about identity and direction. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating these shifts, supporting their identity development and helping them move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Adult, Adolescent & Youth Counselling:
I work with adults, adolescents, and teens on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic disorder, mood disorders, grief and loss, self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, compassion fatigue, religious or spiritual trauma, and stress and emotional regulation. With teens specifically, I also support family conflict, bullying, learning and behavioural challenges, and body image concerns, treating their perspective and experience with genuine respect. At any age, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support for those experiencing suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviours.
Parent Coaching & Consultation:
Parenting is one of the most important and challenging roles we take on, and it’s normal not to have all the answers. I offer parent coaching and consultation sessions grounded in evidence-based developmental research, helping parents and caregivers better understand their child’s or teen’s behaviour, needs, and developmental stage. Together, we translate that understanding into practical, values-aligned strategies you can use at home, offered without judgment, and with respect for the strengths and effort you already bring as a parent.
Gender-Affirming Care:
I provide an affirming, supportive space for clients exploring gender identity and sexual identity.
I work across the lifespan with adults and adolescents, offering both broad individual counselling and specialized support in the areas below:
