Therapy that looks beneath the surface—while staying grounded in what you need today.

You don't need another place where someone tells you what you should be doing.

You need a space where you can understand yourself more clearly.

My approach is strength-based, relational, person-centred, trauma-informed, and eclectic.

That means I don't believe one therapeutic model works for everyone.

Instead, we work together to understand your concerns, your history, your strengths, your relationships, and your goals—and draw from approaches that make sense for you.

Understanding The Person Behind The Problem

Sometimes the symptom is only the beginning.

Anxiety may be connected to a fear of disappointing others.

Perfectionism may be protecting you from feelings of inadequacy.

People-pleasing may have developed from learning that keeping others happy was safer than expressing your own needs.

Relationship conflict may be connected to attachment wounds or longstanding communication patterns.

And emotional overwhelm may be your system telling you that you've been carrying too much for too long.

Therapy allows us to become curious about these connections.

Therapeutic modalities I draw from

Relational Therapy

Exploring how your relationships, interpersonal patterns, and emotional needs influence your experience.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Looking at patterns that may have developed over time and continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

Attachment-Focused Therapy

Understanding how early relationships can shape the ways we connect, protect ourselves, trust, and respond to closeness or conflict.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

These modalities are integrated based on your individual needs rather than applied in a rigid or manualized way.

Prioritizing safety, choice, collaboration, pacing, and empowerment when working with difficult or overwhelming experiences.

Somatic Therapy

Supporting greater awareness of the connection between your emotions, thoughts, and bodily experiences. Using gentle, body-based approaches to help you notice and regulate stress responses and reconnect with a greater sense of safety and presence.

Parts Work

Developing curiosity about the different parts of yourself that may have developed to protect you or help you cope.

Compassion-Focused Therapy

Working toward a more supportive relationship with yourself, particularly when self-criticism has become deeply ingrained.

Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation

Building awareness of thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and behavioural patterns so you can respond with greater intention.

Practical, Evidence-Informed Strategies

When appropriate, therapy may also incorporate CBT-informed strategies, behavioural activation, psychoeducation, grounding, problem-solving, and other practical tools.

Therapy Is Collaborative

I won't pretend to know your life better than you do.

You are the expert on your own experience.

My role is to bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, perspective, and support to the process.

Together, we can ask:

What is happening?

Where might this pattern come from?

What is it trying to accomplish or protect?

What is no longer working?

And what would you like to be different?
