Hello! I'm glad you're here.
Using a variety of tools, I help you gain deeper insight into how your patterns of thought or behaviors are holding you back or causing distress. With curiosity we delve deeper to develop tools personalized for you that break you free from being stuck in negative relationships or destructive behaviours. With deep respect and care, I will show you the real meaning of self-compassion and self-love.
Work with me
My previous career taught me the craft of change-making. Change can feel hard and uncomfortable but it also feels inspiring and freeing. It gives us a chance to see the many versions of ourselves and what could be for us. Being a mother continuously gives me the joy of watching someone step into their own personality and potential. As a therapist, I'm open and ready to listen. I'm curious about your life and I love watching my clients step into their more authentic selves.
I believe that whatever our path has been, it has made us who we are in this moment so that path needs to be respected - not judged. Your story is sacred and rife with insight that is unique to you. We work at your pace and sometimes I give gentle nudges so you can see how strong and powerful you really are.

My favourite tools are focused on building true self compassion and nervous system recovery and resilience techniques. I use Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) to build connection to Self, relational therapy to draw upon the power of being in connection to others, Dialectical Behaviour for distress tolerance skills, Polyvagal Theory to trigger nervous system recovery and stabilization all filtered through a psychodynamic lens that gets to the root of your behaviours. My focus is to produce an embodied experience for you which is felt not described in words.

Values
I profoundly believe in honoring the diversity and the authenticity of all people, and that sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression deserve to be respected, affirmed, and celebrated. I am committed to decolonizing my language, biases, and thoughts each day to grow as an ally for the truth and reconciliation that starts with me. I lead with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgement as these values are essential to leading a life of self-determination and realization.
