How I can help
Therapy with me can be a place to slow down, take a breath, and have some space to make sense of what you’re going through. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, struggling in a relationship, navigating a major life change, or simply feeling like something needs to shift, we can start wherever you are. I’m a warm, down-to-earth, compassionate, and honest therapist. I’ll listen without judgment, but I also won’t just sit back and nod. I’ll help you make sense of what’s happening, gently challenge you when it’s helpful, and work with you to find practical strategies that fit your real life. My hope is that therapy becomes a comfortable space where you can let your guard down, feel truly heard, and work through the serious, messy, and sometimes even humorous parts of life.

More than just my work
Outside of my work, I’m a mom of three, a partner, and a very happy dog owner to a big, fluffy dog who keeps life interesting. I value time with family and friends, good conversations, and humour. Like many people, I juggle many roles and responsibilities, and I understand how easy it can be to put yourself last. I’ve come to really value the importance of self-care, finding balance, and making space for the things that help us feel grounded.
