I’m a warm, collaborative psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping couples and individuals navigate emotionally complex moments with clarity and compassion.

I work with couples and individuals who are navigating emotionally complex experiences, including conflict, separation, infidelity, and the impacts of trauma or long standing mental health concerns.

My clinical focus is on helping clients understand and shift patterns that contribute to their emotional distress, or relational rupture. I specialize in supporting couples facing high-conflict dynamics, emotional disconnection, or divorce.

For individuals, I frequently work with those managing mood and personality disorders, particularly when rooted in trauma or attachment-related issues. This includes presentations such as Borderline Personality Disorder, complex PTSD, and emotion dysregulation.

My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy(EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Education & Training

With over 10 years of experience across university counselling, crisis support, and dedicated couples therapy clinics, I offer deeply informed, trauma-aware care to help couples rebuild trust, repair emotional injuries, and strengthen their connection.

I bring a strong academic foundation to my work, holding graduate degrees in both Counselling Psychotherapy and Psychology, as well as specialized certifications in EFT-C, IFS Level 1, and Psychedelic Therapy. My education spans Canada and Australia, giving me a rich, multicultural clinical lens. Drawing from this extensive training, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Relational Life Therapy.

I also hold a professional certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and incorporate emerging modalities into my work where clinically appropriate. If you’re seeking a grounded and informed therapeutic approach, I welcome you to reach out.

Outside of the Office

I love hiking, anything to do with the water (swimming, paddle boarding, beach time), and exploring new areas of the city. I also love spending time with my family and close friends.
