As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and honour each person’s individual experience. Whether you’re in the middle of adversity, or wanting to process something that has happened in the past, I am here to support you without judgement.
Choosing a therapist is an important decision, one that’s hard to make based solely on an online profile. I offer a free consultation because an initial meeting can often help in the decision making process. I also offer sliding scale fees because finances should never be a barrier to health and healing. Please reach out and we can discuss further.

Being a new parent can be difficult. We often overthink our every move. As a new parent myself, I understand the challenges that come with this role. Together, we’ll create a welcoming environment where you can feel completely yourself, without any pressure to pretend or hide. Together we will conquer the challenges of everyday life and overall well-being. We’ll begin by understanding where you’re coming from, then work together to build a space where you can truly flourish.
By helping you identify how your thoughts and beliefs are impacting your feelings and behaviours, I will help you become more aware of these thoughts and change them before they have the chance to have a negative impact.
Through empathy, understanding and unwavering support, my priority is that we create a judgment free zone, where you will feel heard and appreciated.
