As your therapist, I’m committed to being that compassionate, attentive presence. I provide a safe space to truly understand what you’re conveying, offering a sounding board that allows you to hear your own thoughts in a fresh, more positive light. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and work toward reframing difficulties through a strengths-based lens—supporting you to cultivate self-compassion and find meaning even in life’s hardest moments.

My approach is integrative and tailored to you, drawing from modalities like CBT, EMDR, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and psychoeducation on the neurobiology of trauma.
