Accepting new clients

I bring genuine curiosity and care to every session. Therapy works when there's real trust, and I take the work of building that seriously.

About

A little more about me

I recognize that oppression, identity, and context shape mental health and wellbeing. My work is informed by a feminist framework and a social justice orientation, and I'm an active advocate for BIPOC and LGBT+ rights. Cultural competence, anti-racism, and inclusivity aren't add-ons in my practice. They're foundational.

I have experience working with clients who carry a history of trauma, those living with mental illness, and people who struggle to maintain healthy relationships. I encourage clients to look at their past and current selves through a compassionate lens, and I take an integrative approach to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, behaviours, and emotional experiences.

Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual. My clinical approach is informed by the mind-body connection, somatic interventions, trauma-informed practices, and client-centred care. I also offer EMDR therapy as a trauma processing modality.

I currently see clients via telehealth across Atlantic Canada.
