I specialize in trauma and attachment, supporting clients who are ready to understand how early experiences continue to shape their present. 

My work integrates EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting, and polyvagal-informed approaches to help the nervous system feel safer and more regulated.

If you’re looking for structured trauma treatment with a strong relational and somatic focus, we may be a good fit.

Accessibility, inclusivity, and advocacy are central to my practice. 

Outside of work, you’ll often find me travelling or spending time with my fiancé and our dogs, Lily and Toast.

I specialize in comprehensive adult ADHD assessments, with expertise in identifying subtle and internalized presentations across high-functioning adults, including women, whose symptoms are frequently overlooked in standard evaluations.

My approach is collaborative and relational, focused on creating a safe space to understand your patterns and explore how unprocessed stress, trauma, and early experiences may shape emotional and cognitive functioning.

My practice is grounded in genuine connection, thoughtful assessment, and clear, practical guidance. If this feels aligned with what you’re looking for, I encourage you to reach out.

Outside of sessions, I’m a busy mom of two who loves traveling with my husband and children and recharging near the water — swimming, boating, or enjoying a quiet moment along the water’s edge.

I support individuals and couples navigating the complexities of anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles and grief. 

My approach often draws from EMDR, the Gottman Method, or polyvagal-informed techniques - all designed to help you regulate your nervous system and build more secure, resilient connections.

Whether you are learning to be gentler with yourself, processing past experiences, or simply need a neutral space to talk, my goal is to provide a warm, evidence-based environment guided by your specific journey.

I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, complex mental health, suicidality, neurodiversity, and crisis intervention. My work primarily focuses on adults—particularly veterans, first responders, and those exposed to high-stakes, traumatic environments—while also supporting children and adolescents when appropriate.

My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a core modality. I draw from Polyvagal-informed therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness to meet each person where they are and adapt treatment to their unique needs. I am passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and creating a compassionate, safe space for healing.

The foundation of my practice is nervous system regulation. Using bilateral stimulation, I support the body in shifting from stress and trauma responses into a calmer, more regulated state, creating a solid foundation for trauma work.

I believe true healing happens when we are able to pause, feel a sense of safety, and move through the process with intention—allowing ourselves the time to slow down and reflect. If you are looking for a therapist who values collaboration, openness, acceptance, and a trauma-informed approach, we may be a good fit.

Outside of my work, you will likely find me exploring life with my family and seeking out new adventures.

my dog, Vito.

I offer a space for clients to navigate life transitions, work with uncertainty and explore what a meaningful and purposeful life looks like for them. This collaborative work aims to cultivate insight into patterns, while encouraging curiosity and self-compassion. 

Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, existential, and somatic approaches, my work balances cognitive processes and the wisdom of the body, supporting clients in noticing what their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations may be communicating about their needs. 

My approach may resonate with folks who sense something in their lives is out of alignment and are looking to slow down, deepen their self-understanding and reconnect with themselves. I practice from a trauma-informed, relational, and inquiry-based approach.

Whether you’re new to therapy or returning with the sense that something still isn’t shifting, you’re welcome here. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and shaped by a nervous system lens, with a focus on helping you feel more settled, connected, and supported as we work together.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in construction, addiction treatment, and alongside youth in care. Those experiences continue to inform how I show up in the therapy room: steady, practical, and respectful of the complexity people carry beneath the surface.

I work with adults, youth (12+), and individuals within coupleships who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional reactivity, shutdown, anger, or relationship patterns that feel difficult to change. 

I also offer EMDR and Brainspotting to support deeper processing and help address patterns that may continue to persist despite previous therapy work.

I provide virtual therapy across Newfoundland and Labrador, including St. John’s and surrounding rural communities. If you’re looking for support with long-standing emotional or relational patterns, you’re welcome to reach out to see if we might be a good fit.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they’ve been quietly carrying a lot on their own for a long time. Many are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the emotional impact of chronic illness and body changes.

My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy and focuses on presence, deep listening, and genuine curiosity. I aim to create a space where people feel understood and supported as they explore their experiences and begin making sense of what they’re carrying.

As someone who is neurodivergent, I appreciate the many ways people think, process, and move through the world, including the impact that masking can have on our sense of self and wellbeing.

If you’re looking for a warm and thoughtful space where you can show up just as you are, without needing to have the right words or everything figured out, we may be a good fit.

Outside of counselling, I’m a mom of two teenagers, a bit of a bookworm, and happiest when I’m curled up with a cozy blanket and our dog Sonny.

I endeavour to create a warm environment to validate your experience. I enjoy working with individuals on the stuff that can feel heavy: anxiety, stress, confidence dips, friendship or relationship challenges, life transitions, and that overwhelming juggle of school, sports, and social life.

I've supported folks in complex mental health environments — so whether you're navigating something new or something that's been building for a while, I get it. My therapy approach is rooted in meeting the person I’m with where they are, using techniques from modalities such as CBT, DBT, and above all being client-centred.

I also have a special interest in working with  neurodiversity, perfectionism, high achievers, and young athletes to help them find a healthy harmony between competition, schoolwork, and a rewarding personal life.

My background in recreation therapy means I bring a creative approach to our sessions. This process is fully collaborative, tailored to your strengths, and designed to move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

When I'm not in session: You'll find me watching hockey, hunting for the best local coffee, or hanging out with friends and family.
