Hi there! I'm happy to meet with anyone experiencing a wide range of concerns. My areas of interest and experience are anxiety, relationships (romantic, platonic, parental), divorce/separation (co-parenting, step-parenting, parenting time), and peri- and post-partum mental health. I have experience with and work with all age groups from 12 years old and up. If you're not happy with the way you're feeling, you feel "stuck", or you're unsure how to go about communicating or expressing your needs and concerns, we can explore strategies and interventions to help support you with your goals.

My approach is client centered at heart. You are the expert of you and can best help yourself - sometimes we just need a bit of guidance and some unconditional support. I pull from a multitude of modalities but primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), The Gottman Method, and Mindfulness.

I understand that seeking help and reaching out can be hard. This is why I create a safe, comfortable, judgment free space. If any of the above resonates with you or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out for a complimentary 20-minutes consultation. These free consults allow us the opportunity to see if we're the right fit for each other.
