What we most long for—unconditional acceptance, comfort, and love—has always been within us

We live in a world that shames intense emotion and equates worth with productivity. I hope to create a space to slow down and explore ways of feeling, thinking, and relating that are driven less by urgency and more by authenticity and curiousity.

We’ll learn how your nervous system has learned to adapt, which means honouring what you’ve been through, but no longer being defined by it. We’ll explore what living in joy, authenticity, and alignment with your values means. Because healing does not have a clear finish line where you feel "done", there is just more flexibility and empathy for yourself over time.

My work is grounded in existential, relational, and non-pathologizing principles. Therapy is not about “fixing” you because you are not defective. Instead of asking “What is wrong with me?”, I will challenge you to reflect on “What has happened to you? How did it affect you? How have you learned to cope with it? How do you want to live differently now?”

I am currently unable to take on new clients. Please feel free to join the waitlist and I will reach out with a confirmation and estimated timeline.

Standard 50-minute sessions are $175. I offer sliding scale spots (reduced rates) for students, BIPOC individuals, and those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I lean on modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing, and Attachment Theory.

While I no longer offer couples therapy, I find value in applying The Gottman Method’s interventions in individual therapy to help build meaningful relationships and friendships.

Maybe our emotions are so loud because we keep pushing them away and persistence is the only way they know how to close the distance. Yes, it may be overwhelming and uncomfortable to *feel* the emotions. But this is part of the human experience and w

Shame makes generalized statements about our morality and character.

Accountability does not deny reality, it acknowledges the impact and how we’ve strayed from our values. Then it opens opportunities for change and growth.

I know that questioning the norms we’ve been handed can bring up frustration, hopelessness, and fear. But for many of us, living in a constant state of suppression, mindlessly following a system built to benefit profit and power rather than peo

Many of us experienced situations where suffering made care more accessible, led to connection to others, or made us more visible. Sometimes pain became the only language parts of us believed other people would respond to. So it makes sense that movi

You cannot bully yourself into sustainable positive change! Under chronic shame and self-judgment, your nervous system will collapse, all at once and/or repeatedly.

For most of us, it’s easier to extend grace to others compared to ourselves be
