When life shatters—through trauma, loss, illness, or overwhelming stress—it can leave you feeling disoriented, alone, and unsure how to move forward. You might wake up with a heavy heart, feel unseen in your pain, or wonder if things will ever feel okay again. These experiences are real, valid, and deeply human.

Therapy can offer a place to breathe again. A place where your story is honoured, your pace is respected, and your pain doesn’t have to be carried alone. My role is to walk beside you in those difficult seasons—providing steadiness, safety, and understanding as you begin to rebuild. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means slowly finding ways to live with what you’ve been through, to rediscover pieces of peace, and to reconnect with the parts of yourself that trauma may have overshadowed.

Because every person’s path through trauma is different, our work together will be shaped around your needs. I draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, as well as Cognitive Processing Therapy. All of these are effective, evidence-based treatments designed specifically to help the brain and body process painful experiences, reduce distress, and create space for new meaning and emotional freedom.

I support clients 14+, treating each person with compassion, respect, and curiosity. Therapy isn’t about pushing or fixing—it’s about walking with you through the overwhelm, helping you build resilience, restore a sense of safety, and find moments of calm again.

Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals.

I believe that healing grows from a blend of connection, safety, and evidence-based care. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed practices that gently support the brain and body in processing painful experiences and easing the emotional intensity that can keep you feeling stuck. Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to “move on”—it’s about reshaping the memories and patterns that overwhelm you so they no longer dictate your daily life.

In our work together, you’ll have an active voice in what we focus on and the pace that feels right. I offer structure, guidance, and practical tools, but always within a collaborative, supportive environment where your needs lead the way. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or chronic stress, our goal will be lasting, meaningful change—helping you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to yourself again.
