About

Welcome! I'm genuinely glad you made it here, because it means you're close to getting some real support and making changes that matter. I'm an experienced Registered Psychologist with over 15 years of practice, and I'm passionate about creating authentic connection and a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationships (with partners, parents, adult children, and yourself), work through trauma, and take care of your mental health. Therapy should be a sacred space where you can show up as your full self and share freely.

I'm trained in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), two powerful approaches that go beyond standard talk therapy and that many clients find genuinely transformative for healing from trauma. I also draw on CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and Internal Family Systems, always with our relationship and your goals at the centre. My primary focus is always on what you need and where you want to go.

People have told me I'm easy to connect with, down to earth, and have a good sense of humour. I believe being vulnerable in a safe and trusting environment is where real healing happens. I work collaboratively with you to build skills, deepen self-understanding, and nurture or reshape the relationships that matter most in your life.

I offer free 15-minute consultations, and I see individuals and families both in person and virtually. Feel free to call, email, or book directly through my website. I'd love to connect with you.
