My Approach
Welcome. I know opening up to someone new is not always easy, so I do my best to make this process feel safe, supportive, and low-pressure from the start. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and human. You will not find clinical stiffness here. We may share some laughs and find moments of lightness even in the heavier work together.
Whether you are working through anxiety, past trauma, or relationship challenges, we will move at your pace and shape therapy around what matters most to you.
I value the full picture of who you are, including your culture, identity, lived experiences, and the way you move through the world. All of that is welcome and respected here.

What It Is Like to Work With Me
Working with me can feel like receiving a warm hug from a trusted supporter. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. I am both your biggest supporter and an honest challenger. I celebrate growth while encouraging movement toward meaningful change.
I lead with kindness and patience while also believing in honest conversations when they are needed. Healing is not always easy, and some of the most important breakthroughs come from working through difficult moments together. Therapy does not need to feel heavy all the time. I bring humour, lightness, and authenticity into our sessions so that while we do deep work, we also make space for joy.
Together, we will navigate challenges, recognize progress, and work toward building the life you want for yourself.
If you are looking for a therapist who offers support alongside honest reflection, creates a space that feels safe while encouraging growth, and brings warmth, humour, and realness into therapy, we may work well together.
Outside of Work
My fur babies are my whole world. When I am not spending time with them, you will likely find me at a music festival. Coachella has become a yearly tradition, and this year will be my third time attending.
As a musician myself, music plays a significant role in my life. Whether performing or enjoying live shows, I value the creativity, connection, and energy that music brings.
I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, going on adventures, and trying new activities. Creativity shows up in many areas of my life, and I am always exploring new ways to express it.
If I Were a Character
I would be Ava Coleman (Abbott Elementary)
She is bold, hilarious, and unapologetically herself. Ava brings confidence and humour while genuinely caring about the people around her. I relate to her creativity, humour, and the way she follows her own path, even when it looks different from expectations.
