Hi. I’m glad you’ve found your way here. Maybe you are suffering in overwhelming emotions, or facing unrelenting critical thoughts or negative beliefs about yourself. Maybe you simply have the sense that life could feel differently for you (perhaps lighter, more joyful, perhaps less numb, and more connected to yourself and others).

My approach is relational, gentle, attuned, and creative. I am a trauma-based therapist, and integrate psychodynamically oriented talk therapy with sensorimotor (body-based) and EMDR (trauma processing) modalities. I am committed to anti-racism and issues of social justice. My practice is rooted in principles of equity and inclusion, and I work to actively dismantle racism and oppression. I am listening and actively learning and working to take action.

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.

What’s your favourite way to spend free time?

Living room dance parties, belly laughing with friends, hiking with my family, sitting in the sun with a very hot coffee, charcuterie boards, going on adventures, 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 heal.

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 my own 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.
