Professional Bio
Based in British Columbia, I provide virtual, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating emotional overwhelm, attachment wounds, relationships, and complex life transitions. While I welcome and work with adults of all backgrounds facing a wide range of life challenges, I hold a particular clinical passion for supporting women who are rebuilding their boundaries, self-worth, and sense of safety after navigating unhealthy or emotionally confusing relationships. To further assist with this growth, I also facilitate structured, experiential group therapy designed to help individuals move beyond the isolation of relational stress and find deep, collective healing alongside a community of peers. My collaborative approach integrates person-centered care with evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, somatic therapy, and Narrative Therapy, alongside practical skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). By focusing on the mind, body and nervous system, I meet individuals exactly where they are and walk beside them as they safely explore their internal world at their own pace.
