Member of College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO)
Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Psychotherapist)
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (regulated in Ontario, CRPO), now based in BC. I offer secure online psychodynamic therapy to adults across Ontario and British Columbia.
My focus is developmental trauma and its sequelae — CPTSD, chronic overwhelm, people-pleasing/codependency, shame, and relational patterns rooted in early attachment experiences. I work with adults who sense that their current struggles are connected to deeper patterns shaped by early relationships, and who are looking for more than symptom management.
My approach is integrative and relational (intersubjective), informed by attachment theory, Polyvagal theory, and Internal Family Systems. I work at a titrated pace, building safety and regulation before moving into deeper material. I coordinate with prescribers and other treating professionals as needed, and I'm happy to take callbacks.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent 13 years practicing as a chiropractor, which shaped my attention to the body and nervous system in the therapeutic process.
I offer a free introductory call (30–50 minutes) to assess fit.
