Currently at patient capacity

I work with people who are functioning well on the outside but know something needs to shift underneath. The goal isn't just insight. It's real, durable change that holds up when life puts pressure back on.

About

A little more about me

I've spent years deepening my training across modalities, populations, and presentations. My approach is integrative, but the foundation is consistent: I take the work seriously, I move at the pace that fits the person in front of me, and I'm clear with my clients about what I think will help.

From 2018 to 2021, I ran my own private practice as a Registered Professional Counsellor. That experience showed me what was possible when therapy is delivered with the right level of clinical depth, which is what brought me back to complete my Master's degree. The years before, during, and since have spanned a wide range of clients across age, identity, and presentation. That breadth taught me what every experienced clinician eventually learns: applying a single model to every person doesn't work. Effective therapy is built around the individual.

I've worked extensively with clients across the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and bring strong clinical experience to identity-related work when that's part of what you're navigating. Whatever you come in with, you'll find a space that's thoughtful, discreet, and built around the work.

My Approaches

How I work

Integrative Approach
Drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities, chosen to fit the person and the work, not the other way around.
EMDR (Trained)
Reprocessing experiences that haven't resolved at the level where they're actually stored. Effective for trauma and for the patterns that don't shift through talk alone.
Person-Centred Therapy
A foundational orientation: you know your life better than I do. My job is to help you see and work with what you already know.
Strengths-Based Approach
Building from what's working, not just unpacking what isn't. Particularly useful for clients with strong internal resources who feel stuck despite them.
