My Story
I believe therapy should be a space where people feel safe, understood, and supported without judgment. I recognize how difficult it can be to begin therapy, especially when navigating experiences such as anxiety, trauma, complex relationships, or chronic health concerns.
At the core of my work is the therapeutic relationship. Having a space where you can feel heard and supported can be a powerful foundation for building self-compassion, developing coping strategies, and creating meaningful change.
My background in mental health and social justice has shaped a strong commitment to inclusive, trauma-informed care. Over the years, I have worked in university and community-based settings, supporting diverse individuals with compassion and care. My approach is grounded in the mind-body connection, drawing from modalities such as EMDR and other processing-based approaches to support safe and meaningful healing.
This work has also led me to build a practice rooted in accessibility and inclusivity. I am deeply passionate about mentoring and supporting emerging therapists, and I value creating a collaborative environment that prioritizes both client care and clinician growth.
I strive to create an affirming, accessible space where folks can feel recognized, supported, and empowered in their healing.
