Youth (12+), Adults, Families

In-Person & Online

I hope to hold a compassionate space where we can accept the purposes of our behaviours, while challenging ourselves to pursue new, more pleasant ways of being. We are not always shown the acceptance and compassion I believe is needed to grow into the best version of ourselves. My hope is that our therapy can help you feel accepted as you are so that you can grow into who you’d like to be. Our therapy space can be one in which we can slow down, feel compassion for ourselves, and make meaningful changes towards the goals you put forward.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that every individual possesses the innate potential to lead a fulfilling life in alignment with their core values and deepest desires. As a therapist, I prioritize building a trusting and safe relationship with my clients, empowering them to pursue growth and embrace discomfort in the pursuit of these values.

I believe that healing happens in connection. We aren’t meant to navigate pain, grief, or change alone — and therapy can offer a space to be met with care, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. My hope is that you’ll feel safe to bring all of yourself— not just the parts that feel “put together,” but also the parts that feel uncertain, stuck, or vulnerable.
