I believe that many symptoms are adaptations intended to relieve pain, and which in the past may have been the only options available. My practice focuses on helping people to examine whether these adaptations are still helpful, and to develop different ways of coping, through both acceptance and change in terms of beliefs, behavior, and relationship patterns. My approach is collaborative and tailors evidence-based interventions to each individual client. I provide psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy, exposure and response prevention, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and internal family systems therapy. I also conduct psychodiagnostic, personality, and attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) assessments, and assessments for trans clients seeking gender-affirming medical interventions. In addition, I supervise the work of trainees in clinical psychology and other mental health disciplines. My practice is 2SLGBTQ+ affirming, and I am attuned to the impact of oppression on psychological health.

I offer virtual therapy to individuals across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, making sessions accessible and convenient. As a registered mental health provider with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) in British Columbia, I provide direct billing for FNHA clients. My career spans diverse settings, including community hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and mental health teams in Canada and the United Kingdom. I’ve supported individuals, families, and loved ones navigating complex issues like bipolar and psychosis therapy, and schizophrenia spectrum conditions. I’ve also supervised over 15 master’s students in mental health settings. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and tailored to your needs. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy, I help clients manage diagnoses, build resilience, and achieve personal growth.

My approach is founded on authenticity, trust, openness, warmth, and non-judgment. In sessions, I maintain a stance of sincerity, with the hopes that through being my genuine self, you will feel comfortable and supported to be true to who you are. I seek to learn about the important systems in your life, how they interact, and the meaning they hold for you. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, and youth, and apply various models of therapy in our work together.

I help individuals and couples break painful patterns and feel more secure, confident, and connected in themselves and their relationships. If you’re stuck in the same arguments, questioning your relationship, or feeling emotionally distant even though you care deeply, you’re not alone. You might be dealing with resentment, fights that never get resolved, relationship anxiety, baggage from past relationships, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. From the outside, things may look “fine,” but inside, it feels heavy and exhausting. Imagine what it would feel like to finally move past these patterns and feel confident in yourself and your relationship. I help individuals and couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck or disconnected, using proven techniques to build trust, confidence, emotional safety, and honest, healthy communication. I use Emotionally-Focused Therapy (the gold-standard for couples therapy and relational concerns) to transform the relationships in your life. I offer a warm, supportive space where even the hardest conversations can finally happen. I work with individuals and couples virtually across Ontario. If you’re tired of going in circles and want real change, I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation.

Someone you loved and trusted has hurt you. Whether it was a partner, spouse, or someone close, the betrayal has created a flurry of emotions - shock, devastation and confusion. It can feel as if the ground has been pulled out from beneath you, leaving you questioning everything you once believed and cherished. You may notice waves of anger, sadness, fear, or even numbness, and the weight of it all can feel heavy to carry alone. These reactions are completely normal, and it’s okay if you feel lost right now. My role is to help you process what has happened and begin to find steady ground again.

Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t yourself? Are you exhausted of feeling disconnected and lost? Do you want clarity on who you are, what your goals are, and how to embark on your healing journey? I support young professionals break the cycle of disconnection, exhaustion, and loneliness while connecting to their authentic self. I specialize in supporting the BIPOC community and individuals with histories of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I support adults and young professionals work through emotional challenges. My mission is to not only support you on your journey but provide you with a nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself freely. I strongly believe that no one should experience pain alone and that we all need support as we navigate life and the process of healing. I work collaboratively with clients to embrace their purpose, unique strengths, and find their inner voice. I provide psychodynamic therapy and I am well-versed in various therapeutic modalities such as Narrative Therapy, CBT, Inner-Child Work, and Internal family systems. My approach to therapy is strength-based, culturally inclusive, and trauma-focused. I believe in collaborative, transparent, anti-racist and anti-oppressive care.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn't visible. It can be grief, guilt, exhaustion, trauma, anxiety, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. You may be doing your best to support the people around you while quietly feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you've experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again. Maybe you're struggling with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, or a relationship that no longer feels the way it once did. Perhaps you've become disconnected from yourself, or from your partner or family. Tired of pretending or masking? I tailor our work to your experiences, needs, goals, and pace, meeting you where you are. Need support processing traumatic memories or events? I understand that grief isn't something you simply "get over," and relationships can be a major source of emotional wounding. I see you, and I hear you. If you're seeking clarity, courage, motivation, or relationship improvement, sometimes the hardest part of therapy isn't knowing that you need support. It's believing that healing is actually possible. But consider this: you're here. COME AS YOU ARE, YOU ARE WELCOMED.

I tailor my methods to suit each client's unique needs, fostering a collaborative relationship that empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey. I prioritize a holistic perspective, acknowledging the complex interplay between mind, body, and spirit.
