About me

I am an empathetic, compassionate therapist eager to help you flourish, find joy, and live authentically- whether by overcoming anxiety, coping with depression, recovering from trauma, living with grief, building self-esteem, or improving relationships. You are a person with your own story, values, experiences, relationships, and personality. I will honour that by offering an environment of acceptance, respect, non-judgement, and curiosity. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my goal is to help you see yourself and your relationships more clearly so that you can continue to author your own life story with confidence.

My therapeutic process includes exploring the relationship between our mind, body, and emotions as we experience and make meaning of our lives, as well as how our earliest relationships affect the way we relate to the world in the present. I believe our therapeutic relationship enables you to practice how you want to live and be in the world.

I believe we all need to be seen and accepted as we truly are in order to become the people we want to be. It would be an honour to work with you as you explore who you are and who you want to be.
