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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
