(she/her), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP Candidate
Therapist in Training
If you're feeling overwhelmed, caught in self-doubt, or navigating a major life transition—you’re not alone. You might be carrying grief, guilt, burnout, or uncertainty about how to move forward. Perhaps you're trying to break deeply ingrained patterns, questioning your personal or professional identity, or living with the challenges of chronic illness or caregiving. You're longing to feel truly seen—to make sense of who you are and how your past and present have shaped your experience.
I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported—and my approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity. I work with adults, young adults, and helping professionals navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, people-pleasing, identity exploration, grief, life transitions, low mood, and relationship concerns.
My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, with an emphasis on understanding how identity, lived experience, and systemic factors shape our inner worlds. With a relational and collaborative approach, I draw from emotion-focused, strengths-based, and narrative therapies to support clients in building self-awareness, deepening self-compassion, and moving through life’s difficulties with greater clarity and connection.
Before training as a therapist, I began my work as a registered nurse supporting individuals and families through cancer, chronic illness, grief, and life-altering transitions. These experiences continue to inform my work—and they also fuel my commitment to advocacy and to ensuring that healing spaces are accessible, affirming, and empowering.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support. Beginning therapy was a meaningful step in my own journey, and I deeply appreciate the courage it takes to begin. I would be honoured to walk alongside you. You are welcome here, just as you are.
