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). What you want from therapy matters most: This will always be at the forefront of our work together.
I’m the founder of The Cove Therapy, and a therapist on the team here. My approach is highly relational, gentle, attuned, and creative. I am a trauma-based therapist. In short, I tend to integrate psychodynamic talk therapy with EMDR and parts work.
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?
Taylor Swift, and my audiobook of the moment
What are you reading right now?
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
Mad Woman by Bryony Gordon
What’s your favourite way to spend free time?
Belly laughing with friends, hiking with my family, being outside with a very hot coffee, charcuterie boards, spontaneity, running far, yoga & pilates, 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 feel more connected to 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.

Tell me about one experience that changed your life:
I have two that come to mind. First: In 2013, I went to Kripalu for my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. 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.
Second: In 2017, I became a mom. I always imagined mothering would come with so much ease to me. It did not. I work at the relationship with my child (and therefore myself) each day. I work at deepening my understanding of what mothering evokes in me, of what it means to practice “repair” in relationship, of what trust, safety, comfort, and co-regulation look, sound, and feel like.
