Therapy
Giving you the space to be who you need to be.
Hello
Welcome to my website. This is where you'll find everything you want to know about me, about the kind of therapy I offer, and all the very important details like appointment times, how to book a virtual or in-person session, and cost.
You may be thinking you need someone to talk to. Or you need help. It can be a very scary place to be, and may feel isolating and lonely. Therapy is a weird thing—we're consistently told by society and media that you should be able to help yourself; that you shouldn't need anyone else; that whatever the problem you're facing, should be solvable without any help whatsoever. That’s not true. We need each other, and it's ok to need or want someone to talk to who can help.
We all come from different places, with different experiences that have informed and shaped the way we live in and see the world. For some people, everything fell in line exactly how they hoped. For others, things happened along the way that irrevocably transformed the kind of person they were meant to be. While we can never go back, we can work together to understand what happened, how you're feeling now, and how we can make you feel better.
My Approach to therapy
I am client-led with an anti-racist and anti-oppression lens. I offer a relationally eclectic approach, which can include somatic work, breath work, music integration, artistic expression, and others.

I believe there is nothing wrong with you. You are exactly who you need to be. But sometimes, the strategies and coping mechanisms we developed to help us survive no longer protect us the way they used to. Maybe they're getting in the way of connecting with other people? Or maybe they're making you feel bad about yourself? Whatever's going on, we'll work through it together. I want to hear about all of it. I want to hear how you're feeling and help you understand yourself in a new way. I'm on your side.
I practice relationally, which means that together you and I will build a safe space that feels expansive enough to hold whatever you want to bring in for discussion and reflection. I'll pay close attention to your experience of attachment and relationships with other people and the one between us, as it develops. Much of our time together will focus on your most significant relationships (intimate partners, family, friends, colleagues) and I will encourage you to reflect on what you feel are important patterns in your life (i.e., getting mad at yourself a lot, feeling like people don't like you, not understanding why you react certain ways, etc.).
I will want to know how you grew up in your family, who was around you, what happened in your younger life and how you learned to be in relationship with others, or how to disconnect from them. If you so choose, our work may consist of exploring trauma and loss and our aim will be to work together to integrate those experiences in a way that is more healed or resolved for you. But it will always be on your terms, at your pace, when you feel ready. You are the expert about you, so you lead the pace and control where we go.

Monthly Therapy
Playlist
Music is a big part of my life. Each month, I’ll link to a personally curated playlist of songs that fit together by a therapeutic theme. These playlists feature some of my favourite songs and artists.
Playlists are available through Apple Music—you’ll need to sign in to listen to the full songs from my site; or you can open it in your Apple Music player.
