My Approach
Welcome et bonjour. You may be carrying more than it appears on the surface- holding things together for others while quietly moving through anxiety, grief, self-doubt, or exhaustion of your own. Whatever has brought you here, therapy can be a place where you no longer have to hold it all together on your own. Beyond techniques and theories, I believe in showing up as a real person in the therapy room, with curiosity, compassion, authenticity and a little humour when it feels right. I am passionate about working with people from all walks of life and strive to provide an inclusive, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming space where every part of you is welcome. When you’re ready, we can begin exactly where you are.

What It Is Like to Work With Me
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in real curiosity about what’s unfolding in your life, not just what’s being said, but what’s happening underneath it. I’ll listen closely, reflect patterns as I notice them and sometimes gently name the things that feel familiar but may keep you stuck. You can expect to feel genuinely seen and supported, in a space that is warm, culturally sensitive and paced with care- no pressure to go faster than you’re ready for.
If you're looking for a therapist who...
Meets you with warmth and lightness, can sit with the heavier parts too, and supports your strengths and growth along the way, you’re in the right place.
Outside of Work
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me doing something that involves music, movement, or spending quality time with family and friends. I’ve played piano for years and I’ve always been drawn to classical music, especially composers like Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Debussy. I also love dancing salsa whenever I get the chance. So far, I’ve danced salsa in four countries! Outside of that, I really value spending time with friends and family- catching up over food or exploring new places together, whether that’s a new café or a trip somewhere new.
Think We Might Be a Good Fit?
