Now accepting new clients. Feeling stuck and alone? Life can be just hard. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling all kinds of feelings and we don't know what to do about it - we feel utterly alone and lost. I would love to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. I've helped people like you find a path through: anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotion dysregulation, depression, insecure attachment patterns, and all kinds of life changes. My favourite part of this process is helping you see your situation differently, because once that happens things can get so much better.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Neuropsychology Examines how brain function affects thinking, memory, and behavior. It often involves assessment and rehabilitation strategies.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.
