Welcome.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, past trauma, grief, life transitions or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a space to feel heard, understood, and supported as you find your way.

I am a registered Counsellor with a Master of Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have experience supporting people through mental health challenges, crisis, addiction, childhood trauma and sexual assault. As a Certified HeartMath Practitioner with training in the Biology of Trauma, I am particularly interested in how our life experiences shape our emotional wellbeing, relationships, and sense of self.

I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including the impacts of trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, stress, burnout, chronic illness, major life changes and the pursuit of a more authentic and fulfilling life.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I integrate traditional talk-based therapy with somatic practice, attachment-based work, expressive therapies, parts work, and nervous system support. I work alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique experiences and strengths.

I believe therapy can be a place not only for navigating challenges, but also for developing greater resilience, healing, growth and reconnection to what matters most to us. Together, we can explore what has brought you here, build on your strengths, develop practical tools and insights, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Sometimes healing begins with having someone hold belief in us until we are able to reconnect with it ourselves.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
