About Me
I’m interested in the big questions in life and am endlessly curious about what gets in our way, and what helps us grow into more of who we really are. In my own journey I found that therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices were helpful, which is why I like to offer these tools. I bring a warm, collaborative, and grounded presence to therapy, along with a healthy dose of humour, playfulness, and joy when it fits the moment.

My Approach
In our work together, we’ll explore your strengths, your values, and what’s most important to you. We’ll also look at the patterns, beliefs, or experiences that may be getting in the way of living the life you want — with meaning, connection, and maybe even some ease. Together, we’ll build the tools and support you need to make meaningful change, even (especially) when it feels scary, messy, or hard.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD, depression, chronic illness, relationship struggles, or just feeling a little lost or overwhelmed, therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and figure out what’s next. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a bit more grounded, a bit more resourced, and a bit more like yourself.

We’re all just humans trying to make it in this world; we’re wired for connection, prone to overthinking, and somehow expected to balance ambition, self-awareness, and a to-do list. Therapy is where you get to slow down, untangle stuff, and build a life that feels more aligned, more alive, and more yours. I’ll bring curiosity, humour, a few well-placed questions, a deep belief in your ability to do hard things, and offer the support you need to do them.

Cozy living room with a beige sofa, a laptop, a blue sofa with a textured pillow, a fiddle leaf fig tree, and a large window.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, that’s why I offer free 15-minute consults. Book yours to ask questions, learn about therapy, and to see if we’re a good fit to work together.
