Will be on maternity leave from early June 2026 to the end of August 2026
I believe that all people have the capacity for healing within themselves. I am not going to instantly fix your problems or fight the fight for you. Instead, I will be the coach who is not afraid to challenge your technique, ask the hard questions, and remind you that you are not alone.
A typical therapy session with me includes a blend of focusing on immediate strategies for short-term relief and diving deep into past experiences that have influenced your life for long-term clarity. I may prompt you to notice patterns or encourage you to sit with a difficult feeling.
My work is informed first and foremost by my clients and second by my extensive training in areas such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. These styles are simultaneously structured, creative, and informed by research. This means that I tend to be a great fit with older teens, adults, and couples.
I have received feedback that my approach has helped clients reduce symptoms in a variety of areas, including anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, and relationship distress. Following our sessions together, clients have reported improvements in confidence, connection, presence, values-alignment, and decision-making.
In my own life, I have found that the most profound and meaningful outcomes have been when I made a decision to follow my intuition with the right people in my corner. I would be honoured to be in your corner.

A few things about me:
I once heard from a friend to "treat life like a summer camp" and continue to try to learn new skills as an adult. Recently, I have taken up ice skating, piano, and sewing.
I enjoy paddleboarding in the summer, including taking snacks on my board. I call these paddleboard picnics.
I have played several Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. My latest character is up to level seven and defeats enemies by wielding an enormous hammer.
My favourite drinks are bubble tea, chocolate milk, and saskatoon berry milkshakes.
I used to work at an animal shelter and know funny anecdotes... for example, did you know a group of cats is called a clowder?
