Taking the first step toward seeking support can be difficult. Everyone navigates challenges throughout their lives, and I would be honoured to support you on your journey toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth.
I offer trauma-informed, person-centred psychotherapy grounded in collaboration, compassion, curiosity, and respect for each individual's unique experiences. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, identities, relationships, and emotions at your own pace.
I work with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, emotional disconnection, burnout, relational challenges, communication difficulties, stress, and life transitions. Together, we can explore how past experiences may influence your relationships, sense of self, and emotional well-being while developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and connection.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds, and dissociative experiences. I also support first responders experiencing occupational stress, trauma exposure, burnout, and the unique challenges associated with their work.
Additionally, I offer affirming support for LGBTQ+ individuals and those exploring kink, BDSM, sexuality, and diverse relationship dynamics. I believe therapy should honour each person's identity, autonomy, and lived experience without judgment or assumptions about what healing or well-being should look like.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual's needs and goals. I integrate Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Polyvagal-informed tools to support emotional regulation, stabilization, coping, and deeper therapeutic exploration.
