People often reach out to therapy when something just doesn’t feel right anymore. Maybe stress or anxiety is always humming in the background, anger shows up faster than you’d like, or you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or a major life transition. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument without feeling truly understood, or you find yourself shutting down when conversations become difficult. Sometimes, you may not even have the words for what’s wrong, you just know that something needs to change. 

I bring a steady presence, genuine curiosity, and a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work with youth (14+) and adults. My role isn’t to analyze you or tell you how to live, but to create a space where you can reflect, feel understood, and become more curious about what’s happening beneath the surface. I support concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, anger, self-esteem, life transitions, parenting, and relationship challenges. 

My work is strongly informed by Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps us slow down and understand the emotions underneath our reactions—what hurts, what we need, what we’re protecting, and what we may have learned to keep hidden. I also draw from approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and existential therapy when they can support the work. With a background in teaching and a Master of Education degree, I’m especially passionate about helping people and families navigate the emotional challenges that come with different stages of life. Through our work together, we’ll explore the emotions, needs, and patterns that shape how you respond to yourself and the people you care about, creating opportunities for greater understanding, connection, and change.
