Hi! Do you identify as someone who struggles with people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, or relationship and communication challenges that seem to consume your life? I am a relational therapist with a focus on helping you achieve clarity, peace, and confidence in your life.
With over a decade of experience working in human relations with hard-working and busy professionals, I'm here to offer insight and help you bridge the space between struggle and success.
I am also passionate about supporting couples and relationships of all shapes and sizes. Trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), I will provide tools to support you wherever you are in your relationship, whether just starting out, exploring new territory, or feeling stuck in the same repeating patterns.
Whether we focus on trauma, achievement, connection, or other challenging areas in your life, I feel humbled to get to know you and all of the parts of you that make you - you!

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?
