Co-Founder, Registered Psychotherapist, (She/Her), First Responder Trained

Like you, I have experienced life’s highs and lows and I understand that the lows are sometimes too hard to handle on one’s own. I draw from these experiences when I support my clients. There is great courage in taking the step to seek help and you are brave for searching to support your personal well-being.

Our sessions will be in an environment where you are safe and supported. I strive to ensure that you feel heard and can comfortably express your troubles. Together, we will seek resolutions to your concerns in an up close in-depth way to gain a richer understanding of your circumstances. I believe you have the strength within you to tackle what is troubling you most and I am here to help guide you towards finding that inner power and to find the real you.

Whatever is distressing you, my goal is to help you recognize your internal strengths, and maximize the resources, tools and the options available to you.

In our individual sessions you will find hopeful, intuitive, compassionate, humorous, and positive perspectives.

I welcome and am happy to support clients of all sexualities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and beliefs into my office with compassion and acceptance. My clients are ready to do the deep work.

When not working with clients, I can be found giving my dog the happiest life I can offer him, reading whodunit novels, listening to true crime podcasts or standup comedy, walking by the beach.

Registered Psychotherapist, (She/Her/They/Them), First Responder Trained

The idea of therapy can be rather intimidating and overwhelming, but with the right support and person(s) on your team, you can begin to heal and make meaningful changes to your life. I think it’s important to have open dialogue wherein you can freely explore and be curious about your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

As your therapist, I strive to make sure that you feel heard, understood, and validated throughout our time together. Therapy is different for everyone and taking an individualized approach means that we can work together to find strategies and ways to process thoughts and emotions that are tailored specifically to you. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation that everything else we will do is built on, so it’s important to me that you feel safe to express yourself open and honestly. 

I like to use a collaborative, strength-based, trauma-informed approach wherein we collaborative work towards what feels authentic to you. Every person’s journey in therapy is different, and I strive to create an environment where we can address whatever is distressing for you so you can live a more fulfilling life.

Specific area of interest: First Responders (family and spouses of included), LGBTQIA+ experiences, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Athlete mental health issues, sleep issues, self-esteem, and school related stressor. I also have experience supporting individuals who are neuro-divergent.

When I’m not at the office, I enjoy yoga, reading fantasy or crime novels, listening to music or a podcast (True Crime is a go to), or playing video games. Truthfully, I get the most joy from animals, especially my dog Asta, and watching documentaries.

In our lives, we often find ourselves at impasses. It can be challenging for us to quit doing, feeling, or thinking in ways that are no longer helpful. Therapy allows for a safe space to look at and work through these situations. It takes courage to consider therapy and I am glad that you have taken the first step toward seeking support.

As I take this step with you, my primary goal is to create an environment that is warm, welcoming, and safe. Through collaborative therapy we can work together to increase awareness and understanding, seek solutions, and build towards your goals. I am here to support and guide you, but above all else I am here to listen without judgement.

Let's work together to get you back on a path where you feel confident in your ability to navigate the challenges of life.

Specific areas of interest: anxiety management, relationship/interpersonal issues, life transitions, developing independence, and communication.

Areas of interest: Parenting, postpartum, perinatal mental health, and perinatal grief and loss. Navigating life as a highly sensitive person. Couples and family therapy (safe and welcoming for queer couples and families).
