                                                  About Me

Very little about human experience surprises me anymore — but people continue to move and inspire me.

I am deeply open-minded, curious, and grounded in a strong sense of relational and community responsibility. My work is shaped by decades of clinical practice and by a lived understanding of complexity, resilience, and care under pressure. I bring steadiness, intuition, and a thoughtful sense of humour into the therapeutic space.

I am a spiritually grounded person who finds meaning in helping people bring light, clarity, and compassion to parts of themselves that may feel hidden, painful, or difficult to approach. Therapy, for me, is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for integration, dignity, and choice.

Professionally, I have worked within provincial  mental health and welfare systems and continue to support charitable and community-based initiatives focused on intimate partner violence. I am also involved in a federally funded research project examining coercive control and the challenges faced by culturally insular communities, work that informs my clinical and supervisory practice.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and responsive. I draw primarily from psychodynamic and relational frameworks, alongside somatic approaches, adapting the work to the needs, pace, and inner world of each person I work with.

Happy Family

Reflections shown are composites of client themes and do not describe any single individual.

Clients often arrive feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or disconnected from meaning.Over time, many describe gaining clarity, renewed hope, and a stronger sense of direction in their lives.They frequently share feeling deeply heard, supported with care and compassion, and guided toward insights that open space for meaningful change and growth.

Some clients come to therapy after long periods of low mood, isolation, or quiet struggle that has begun to feel “normal.” Although starting therapy can feel uncertain—especially for the first time—the comfort and privacy of online sessions often make it easier to begin.
As the work unfolds, many report increased emotional energy, reconnection with daily life and relationships, and a gradual return to a sense of themselves.
