Starting therapy can feel scary.

You might be feeling unsure if this is what you need, nervous about how it will go, and worried about finding the right fit.

I am glad you are here, exploring how therapy might be a supportive choice in your life right now.

Life can be messy, and we all need a little support along the way. I love having meaningful, thoughtful conversations that help people find more clarity, deeper purpose, and a sense of peace.

I genuinely enjoy working with people from all walks of life—meeting people where they are at, and exploring what feels most important to them at this moment in time.

There is something truly special about witnessing someone connect with the felt sense of their emotions in their body, gain new insights, and start trusting their inner voice again. It’s a privilege to be a part of that journey.

I believe your voice matters…

I will welcome you just as you are. I want to hear your perspective, your way of seeing the world, and hear about the unique experiences that have shaped you. I'm here to hold space for you as you move through what feels hard or uncertain, and to support you in reconnecting with your strength, your worth, and your self-compassion.

I specialize in helping parents heal from their own traumatic experiences so that they can enjoy more satisfying relationships with themselves, their partners, and their children.

I also work with new parents experiencing mental health challenges, couples experiencing relationship issues, and young adults questioning what is next on their life’s journey.


My Story

Counselling is my third career in my adult life, and it is by-far my favourite. I am so glad I found my way here after nearly a decade working in education as a teacher, and several years running a business for new parents in the postpartum period.

I have always been curious about therapy, but it was my own experiences in individual counselling, as well as, couples therapy that led me to pursue my masters in counselling psychology. I know what it is like to sit on the other side of the couch, and I am no stranger to the aloneness we can feel when life is tough.
