​

Starting therapy can bring up a mix of emotions: fear, hope, stress, and even excitement. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, loss, relationship challenges, stress, or trauma, I’m here to support you in working toward healing and growth.

​​

As a psychotherapist, I bring warmth and compassion to our sessions, creating a space where you feel safe and heard. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of the healing process. I show up with authenticity and empathy, knowing from personal experience how difficult, but also how transformative, therapy can be. My own journey with anxiety led me to do the work myself, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin.

​​

I provide trauma-informed care and take a non-judgmental, client-centred approach. I draw on evidence-based methods, often exploring tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), to support your unique needs, while always emphasizing your strengths and resilience.

​

My professional experience, including my work with a non-profit organization that delivers mental health workshops to students, educators, and parents, has further shaped my understanding of how relationships, coping strategies, and self-awareness contribute to well-being.
