Feeling weighed down by anxiety, stress, or low mood? You don't have to carry it alone.

About

If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, or overwhelming stress, you're not alone. Maybe you're struggling with self-worth, navigating tough relationships, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change. You might also be facing modern challenges like burnout, social media overwhelm, or feeling always 'on'. More than anything, you may be looking for a chance to feel lighter, more grounded, and more at peace in your own skin.

I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences without fear of judgment. My approach is integrative, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based practices. What this means is that our work together will be tailored to your unique needs, using evidence-based tools to help you manage stress, understand your emotions, and reconnect with your strengths.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it takes real courage to reach out. If life feels heavy and you're tired of carrying it alone, know that you don't have to. In our work together, you will find a space where your story matters and your voice is truly heard. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

I am available for online sessions Monday to Friday, and offer in-person sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I offer a sliding scale for those who may benefit from additional financial flexibility, and my services are eligible for coverage under extended health insurance plans. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
