I support individuals navigating anxiety, stress, confidence, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the demands of school, sports, and social life.
My client-centred approach draws from CBT, DBT, and my background in recreation therapy to create collaborative, creative sessions tailored to your strengths.
I have a special interest in neurodiversity, perfectionism, high achievers, and young athletes seeking greater balance between performance and personal well-being.
Outside of work, I enjoy hockey, finding great local coffee, and time with friends and family..

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges, creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
My client-centred approach integrates CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths and develop practical strategies that fit their unique needs and goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, discovering great food, hiking, exercising, listening to music, and spending time outdoors.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, chronic illness, body changes, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection.
My person-centered approach is grounded in presence, deep listening, and genuine curiosity, creating space to feel understood and make sense of what you’re carrying.
As a neurodivergent therapist, I appreciate the many ways people think, process, and experience the world, including the impact of masking on identity and well-being.
Outside of work, I’m a mom of two teens, a bookworm, and happiest curled up with our dog, Sonny.
