About Me
“Positive vibes only” are 3 words you won’t hear from me.
I welcome you just as you are with all the thoughts, feelings and sensations you might be experiencing, and I support you to be curious and explore all of it. I’m authentic, approachable and think therapy shouldn’t be sterile, preachy or impersonal.
Imagine a conversation where you feel heard, seen and understood. Where you feel a deeper connection to your self-compassion, strengths, skills, and motivation.
That’s the vibe I’m going for.

About You
- You’re a highly empathetic person who often overthinks things.
- You have a tendency toward perfectionism and people pleasing.
- You’re a hard worker.
- You’re ambitious and have accomplished many impressive things in your life.
- You’re your worst critic.
- You would like to be kinder to yourself, but it feels really uncomfortable.
- You imagine a different version of yourself, more confident, able to let go of things that aren’t working for you, and happier.
- You’ve thought about therapy and might have even experienced therapy in the past, and you’re feeling like it might be time to try again.
I’m here for that.
About Us
I view my work through a trauma-informed lens, this means I’m looking for ways to create safety, choice and control. I see you as the expert of your life and I use my training and skills to highlight your strengths and successes so that you can connect back to your awesomeness and create the change you’re wanting. I believe the way forward toward the happy more confident version of yourself isn’t in encouraging you to do or be more, but rather to slow down and get crystal clear about what actually works for you and what doesn’t.
Doesn’t quite sound like you or don’t know where to start?
Let’s chat and see how I might be able to help you.
The Process
My work is primarily rooted in person-centred therapy (aka Rogerian) and I draw from Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing therapies. I also incorporate Mindfulness based strategies when appropriate. I welcome questions about these models, please feel free to ask!
