Hi. I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I work with people who have experienced a recent or past trauma/s, are confronting grief or overwhelming emotion (or no emotion at all), or who simply have the general sense that there is something “not quite right” in their well-being or lives. I often work beyond the realm of intellectualizing in order to address the deeper levels/layers/roots of what might be keeping you in present day symptoms (like feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious). At the forefront of our work together will always be: what you want from therapy matters most.

I’m the Clinical Director and Therapist on the team here at The Cove Therapy. My approach is highly relational, gentle, attuned, and creative. I am a trauma-based therapist. I integrate psychodynamic talk therapy with Sensorimotor (a body-centered approach that aims to treat the somatic symptoms of unresolved trauma) and EMDR (a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories).

I offer individual therapy, consultation to therapists, EMDR therapy and consultation, and EMDR intensives.

Whether you are new to therapy, or simply ready to re-connect to your therapy work, I hope this space can feel like a place to land for you.

Coffee Corner

What are you listening to right now?

Zach Bryan

What are you reading right now?

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

What’s your favourite way to spend free time?

Belly laughing with friends, hiking with my family, sitting outside with a very hot coffee, charcuterie boards, spontaneity, running, yoga, trying a new recipe.

Who do you work with?

People often come to see me with experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I work with adults across the age span. Sometimes people come to simply work on themselves.

What would you like a client to say about working with you?

I would wish for a client to say that they felt a stronger sense of self through our work together, and that the work helped them connect with their own wisdom and ability to move toward healing.

What is your favourite poem?

Life doesn’t always get better.
But you do.
You get stronger.
You get wiser.
You get softer.
With tattered wings you rise.
And the world watches in wonder
at the breathless beauty of
a human who survived life.
 L.R. Knost

Tell me about one experience that changed your life:

In 2013, I went to Kripalu for my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. It’s hard to find language that does justice to the experience, but I think the combination of the immersion in nature and a yoga practice, the sense of community, the music, the dancing, the food, the learning and skill building, the friendships and the feeling deeply seen – it’s an experience that shifted me in a profound way.
