About

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with over 25 years of experience in the helping professions. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and relational framework. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a grounded presence to my work, and aim to meet clients with care and integrity.

My therapeutic stance is rooted in an awareness of the systemic harm many individuals carry—harm that often intersects with histories of trauma, identity, and relational rupture. I work with adults, teens, and couples, some of whom may be living with the impacts of navigating grief, adoption, relational trauma, caregiver burnout, identity questions, developmental trauma, and gender-based violence, including childhood sexual abuse. I also work with queer, trans, and non-binary individuals seeking support in navigating identity, relationship dynamics, belonging, and the complex ways these experiences intersect with trauma.

I hold a strong belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of transformation through engaged and embodied therapeutic work. Healing isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you. It's about making sense of what you've lived through and how you've adapted in order to survive.

I bring a socially aware lens to my work, shaped by the understanding that our lives are impacted by structures of power, oppression, and exclusion. I work with people who have been racialized, sexually marginalized , and/or harmed by the dominant systems and  the narratives around them. I do this work while also acknowledging that I hold white skin, cisgender, and class privilege—and I am committed to ongoing self-reflection, accountability, and unlearning. I actively challenge the systems and structures that perpetuate harm, and I work to ensure my practice is one that resists and disrupts those dynamics wherever possible.

I was drawn to this work in my early twenties, after working with a therapist who saw me clearly and believed in me at a time when I couldn’t believe in myself. That experience was life-changing. It taught me what good therapy can feel like, and it continues to guide my work.
