“The best way out is
always through.”
— Robert Frost
Welcome,
Throughout my 20 years in psychology, I’ve sat alongside people from all walks of life.
From those experiencing addiction, homelessness, incarceration, to hospitalization. No matter how scary, hopeless or painful your story might feel, know that I can sit with you in the depths of it, help undo the shame and aloneness, and hold a safe, sacred space of healing for you.
As a psychologist, I use an experiential approach because I’ve learnt we must go beyond cognition and behavior to truly heal. We must sink deep into the recesses of our body’s memories, back to the source of our wound, so that we can meet ourselves in that moment again. From there, we can find the key to our healing - the unmet need or unvoiced truth that, when tended to, can change how our past lives within us.
My Specialities
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma is often stored in the body, and not something we can just think our way out of. Through a mind-body approach, experiential therapy can help you find relief from fear and limiting thoughts, build healthier relationships, and feel safe in your body again. The wound of trauma runs deep, yet the potential for healing can profoundly liberate us.
Anxiety
If it feels like your life is being hijacked by anxiety, I can help you get underneath your symptoms to the root cause of your anxiety. By understanding why your nervous system is being activated in the first place, we can untangle those patterns through practical techniques and deep self-compassion, so that you can enjoy more peace, ease, and agency.
Relational Issues
Relationships have the power to bring out the best and the worst in us. They can reopen our earliest wounds, leading to intense conflict and loneliness. Experiential therapy can uncover how our childhood attachments impact our current relationships, along with helping us set boundaries, build trust, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Helping Professionals
I strive to support those who give so much of themselves in the service of others, be it as educators, first responders, health care providers, or military veterans. If you are experiencing burnout, emotional strain, self-doubt, or compassion fatigue, know that this is a safe space to share without judgement while taking care of yourself.
My Services
for adults
Individual Therapy
For those who tend to get ‘stuck in their heads’ and are seeking a more embodied approach to therapy. For those that are ready to explore the root causes of their suffering, so that they can experience deep healing and a more free and authentic existence.
01
for therapists
Professional Consultation
The most powerful thing we can do as therapists is to be witnessed by another therapist—someone who sees our work, our heart, and reminds us we don’t have to hold it all alone. I offer professional consultation to all registered disciplines, including Psychology, Psychotherapy, Social Work, Psychiatry, and Occupational Therapy.
02
for clients
Psychological Assessment
As a psychologist who doesn’t believe in pathologizing normal responses to human circumstances, I only offer assessment and diagnosis to existing clients on a case-by-case basis. Rather than seeing it as a requirement for treatment, I use my extensive training and knowledge of mental health diagnosis to better inform my work while focusing on addressing the root cause(s).
