​Do you feel like you're stuck just getting through each day, rather than truly thriving in your life? Maybe you can see the future you want but keep ending up back in the same place, no matter what you try. Anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelming emotions might be taking up more space than you'd like, making it hard to feel grounded or fully present.
You don't have to navigate this alone.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for complex trauma and PTSD including grief and shame. I support clients navigating social justice issues, global stressors, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-worth and perfectionism. In addition, I have an interest in working with students and professionals managing chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout.

My goal is for you to feel genuinely heard and supported while we work together on strategies that fit your unique needs and life. My style is warm yet honest. I'll meet you where you are but won't let you stay stuck out of politeness. Therapy with me is collaborative as you're the expert on your life. My work is rooted in humanistic and narrative therapy while drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe you already have resilience and insight within you. Therapy is about helping you access those strengths while learning new tools to create lasting, meaningful change. Successful therapy asks something of you too. It asks for your commitment to showing up and being open to sitting with the process, even when uncomfortable.

You do not have to bring a polished version of yourself here. I welcome the whole person, human flaws and all, and I expect what you bring to be complicated. I work with clients across cultures, ages, abilities, and identities, and I start by learning how you understand your own life rather than assuming I already know. I welcome LGBTQIA+ clients navigating identity, relationships, and the stress of living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy.

As a Canadian living in the U.S., I know what it feels like to build resilience adjusting to a new country while integrating what matters most from different chapters of my life. After more than 15 years of clinical work, I continue to be humbled by the clients I’ve had the honor of serving as they grow into who they aspire to be. Investing in relationships, with clients and in my own life, is at the heart of how I work and live. I recharge by spending time by the water, chasing my pug around, and caring for my plants which are the small, grounding moments that help me stay present and connected.

If this speaks to what you're going through, I'd be glad to hear from you. Let's take the first step together.
