Although I have experience treating a variety of issues, I have a specialized interest in trauma, eating disorders, addiction/substance use, and personality disorders.
I am here for those who have been left without support, invalidated, and let down. I hear that you are looking to be seen for the reasons behind why you are hurting. I am here to prioritize your needs and goals, and to support you on your journey to recovery.

I enjoy working with folks who are looking to heal from childhood/developmental trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, chaotic substance use, personality disorders, and struggles related to being queer, transgender, and/or non-binary.
Therapy doesn't have to be scary! I know first-hand what it can be like to suffer in silence, longing for change, & struggling to find someone who "gets" you. If you grew up in a home where you didn't get the support that you needed, if you went through something that you feel like you have never recovered from, or if you feel like a black sheep everywhere you go, I would be happy to co-create a non-judgmental healing space where you feel seen, heard, & valued. We can work on things like learning to understand yourself, re-gaining control of your life, & appreciating the parts of you that have clawed you out of your darkest times.

Are you an individual or couple who is struggling with emotional distress related to anxiety, stress, anger, depression or grief? Without proper support processing difficult emotions can be challenging. I can help you to get at the 'roots' of your distress as well as help you to become in touch with the concerns, goals, and needs that underlie your experiences. I also work with clients to address issues related to self and identity as well as clients who have faced attachment trauma or traumatic experiences that have altered their sense of self, others and the world around them.

Partnership can be tough. It can be hard to think clearly when our relationship with the most important person in our life is going badly. Emotions can get intense - hurt, anger, sadness, or betrayal can overwhelm us. We become preoccupied, and our social lives, work, and family life can suffer. We can get lost in some pretty horrible stories about ourselves or are partners, and when we're lost it can feel impossible to get out. The science of attachment offers a clear lens to understand these challenging behaviours and feelings, and pathways out.

I work with clients who are curious about the functioning of their personality, who wish to understand better their desires and needs, as well as the way they cope with frustration and grief. I help my clients develop awareness of why it is they do the things they do, feel the way they feel and think the way they think. I aim to develop the possibility of making choices where automatism took place. By automatism, I speak of these relational patterns in which we find ourselves repeating similar uncomfortable dynamics without understanding why. So, in a broader sense, I work with patients wishing to understand themselves better.

Throughout our sessions, I strive to create an environment of compassion, acceptance, and present moment awareness. I don't see myself as fundamentally different from the client, but rather as someone who can bring a fresh perspective to their situation. I believe that the client and I are both climbing our own mountains, and I can use my vantage point to identify obstacles on their mountain that they may not be aware of. In therapy, every struggle is important, and no one's pain is greater or less than another's. Together, we can then find new ways to navigate these obstacles and chart a new course towards a more fulfilling life.
