Do you find yourself overwhelmed by intense emotions, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or caught between wanting closeness and fearing it? Many people experience emotional highs and lows, chronic anxiety, anger, or self-critical thoughts that make daily life feel harder than it should. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. With eight years of clinical experience, I support adults navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and mental-health concerns.

​

• Relationship challenges & attachment wounds

• Identity & self-esteem difficulties

 

My Approach

My style is warm, grounded, and deeply validating. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and safe to explore what feels overwhelming or stuck. I draw primarily from:

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness-based approaches

 

What We Can Work On Together

What You Can Expect

Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs. You are the expert on your own life—I’m here to help you uncover what’s been holding you back and to develop skills and strategies that support meaningful change.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels calmer, and more aligned with who you want to be.
