You’re living for the to-do list while your own needs collect dust. Feeling like the “strong one” everyone relies on—but silently unraveling inside. Your mind is racing, day and night, trying to keep up with all the the responsibilities you hold. You might feel that there is no time or energy left for you, and long for the chance to finally rest and recharge. Imagine taking up space in your own life. Feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself. Living with less pressure and more presence.
I combine actionable tools from CBT, ACT, and EMDR to help you actually change—not just cope. You’ll walk away from each session with something tangible to try, reflect on, or reframe—so growth keeps happening, even between sessions.
I've worked with clients throughout the province with issues like anxiety, perfectionism and people pleasing, burnout, and depression. Whether you only have time for a few sessions, or are looking to dive deeper into long standing mental health issues, you can expect to be heard and supported, with an action plan developed just for you.
What should you expect in therapy? Clients often tell me they feel calmer just by showing up. I’m not fazed by big emotions—whether you’re holding back tears or firing off curse words, I’m here for it. I’m known for listening closely, remembering the details, and helping people make connections they hadn’t seen before. Sessions with me aren’t just a place to vent; they’re a space to make sense of things, get strategic, and actually move forward. Most of all, I want you to know that I care deeply about your progress, and I’ll walk with you every step of the way.I offer 15 minute free consultations to help you decide if I am the right fit for you. I respond to messages quickly and am ready to hold space for you in my calendar.
