How I can help…
My approach
My background
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both personal and professional experience. I grew up navigating complex family dynamics, including depression and low self-worth in those closest to me. That early exposure to emotional pain—and the silence surrounding it—sparked a deep desire to understand healing on a soul level. After years of my own therapy, reflection, and growth, I made it my life’s work to help others reclaim their voice and find clarity. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, specialized training in trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and over a decade of experience in education, emotional health, and creative facilitation.
Who I work with
Therapy with me is both grounded and dynamic—equal parts empathy, insight, and real-world tools. I use evidence-based approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care, weaving in creativity and somatic practices where it fits. I bring curiosity, warmth, and high ethical standards to every session, so clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to do meaningful work. You can expect honest reflection, gentle challenges, and a space that stays centered on your goals and growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating the emotional aftermath of difficult or toxic relationships—often shaped by narcissistic patterns, conflict, or unmet needs that linger long after the relationship ends. Many of my clients are insightful, self-aware, and still unsure why they feel stuck, angry, or disconnected. I support adults, teens, and professionals who are ready to understand their patterns, strengthen their boundaries, and move forward with more confidence and self-trust. If you're ready to break the cycle and create something different, I’d be honoured to work with you.
