Therapy shouldn’t feel like another place where you have to hold it together.
You may spend a lot of your day managing, coping, and pushing through. Here, you can take a breath and show up as you are, even if you’re unsure where to start or how to put what you’re feeling into words.
Much of my work focuses on trauma, somatic therapy, and recovery from chronic pain. I also support people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, burnout, and painful patterns in their relationships. Together, we look at what’s been weighing on you and find practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable.
I take a whole-person approach that makes room for your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and what you notice in your body. You might understand why something feels upsetting and still find yourself bracing, going quiet, or feeling on edge long after the moment has passed. I draw on EMDR and somatic therapy to help you process difficult experiences and work with those responses at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Chronic pain can change how you move, rest, make plans, and spend time with the people you love. I take your pain and its impact seriously. I draw on pain reprocessing therapy and mind-body approaches to help you explore what affects your symptoms, find ways to respond to flare-ups, and gradually reconnect with activities that matter to you. This work can sit alongside the medical care you receive.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities. You’ll be met with respect, curiosity, and care.
Healing can start with noticing how hard you’ve been working to get through the day, understanding what your mind and body have been trying to protect you from, and finding more room to choose how you respond.
I provide counselling to clients in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. If you’re ready for something to change, we can start with whatever feels most important to you right now.
