Are you struggling with your relationship with your body, the world, and others? We all encounter challenges experiences that may disconnect us from the life that we desire to live, leaving us feeling lost, perhaps anxious or depressed. Perhaps you've noticed yourself relying on vices that are no longer serving you. As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to guiding my clients in reconnecting with themselves in a way that contends with the self-judgment that often arises from our struggles. Through self-compassion and building a sense of safety within the body, let's help you live the life that you deserve.

I offer a client-centred approach to meet the unique needs of clients who have encountered traumatic experiences that have disconnected them to their bodies. I provide a holistic approach endowed with new wave cognitive-behavioural therapies and emotion-focused tools to guide clients in achieving clarity in their thoughts and achieve body acceptance.

You may be questioning whether therapy is right for you. You may wonder whether you'll find a therapist who understands the pervasiveness of your ongoing challenges, and although I will never experience your life, it is may mission to meet you where you're at. As the expert of your experience, let's work together to make therapy right for you.
