Welcome—I know it can feel vulnerable to reach out for support. But it's absolutely worth it when you find someone who gets you and what you've been through—and can actually help you through your struggles.
That's why it's important to me to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Where your experiences, needs, and goals directly shape the work we do together. No matter your background and identity, you are welcome here, and your voice matters.
I'd be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth. I work with evidence-based approaches and tailor my support to respond to each client’s needs and goals. I bring curiosity, empathy, and warmth to help you tap into your innate strength and wisdom—all at your own pace, and without judgment.

Modern dating can be hard and frustrating, but there are ways to improve your dating skills and outcomes. Awareness of your dating patterns, needs, and goals will help you gain clarity about how to move forward effectively.
• align your dating behaviour with your relationship goals
• learn what emotional availability looks like
• stop going for a "type" that never works out for you
• figure out what you're actually looking for in a relationship
• learn to date more calmly if you have anxious attachment or dating anxiety
• feel more confident being yourself on dates
• feel more comfortable setting boundaries and asking for what you need
• get out of a situationship that's going nowhere fast
• get more comfortable sharing your feelings and being close with someone
• process difficult dating and relationship experiences so you're more prepared for a new healthy, fulfilling relationship
Calm your dating anxiety and anxious attachment
Do you get anxious in the early stages of dating someone, and it feels like the smallest thing could threaten your whole relationship? Do you find yourself spiralling when someone you’re dating (or trying to date) doesn’t respond immediately to a text or phone call?
Dating anxiety and anxious attachment can make it confusing and exhausting to navigate dating and new relationships. The good news is that there are ways to find clarity and calm so that you can evaluate what is going on more objectively and learn how to date more effectively so you can reach your relationship goals.
• learn how to work with your attachment style so you can choose better matches
• learn to communicate your needs more effectively
• gain awareness of how anxiety impacts your dating life
• clarify what's important to you in a relationship
• slow your attachment so that you can evaluate dates more objectively
• learn to soothe yourself and date more calmly
• stand up for yourself and what you're looking for in a relationship
• feel more comfortable setting boundaries and asking for what you need
People often seek out therapy because they are struggling to process and understand current and/or past experiences. It can be helpful to get support from someone who can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and validate your experience. Often, when we are non-judgmentally witnessed in our feelings and stories, healing begins to take root.
• explore and navigate challenging emotions with compassionate, nonjudgmental support
• learn to move through difficult emotions instead of pushing them down (until they inevitably explode)
• unpack challenging family or relationship dynamics, past or present
• foster self-awareness and emotional resilience
• address unresolved issues so you can move forward
• develop healthy coping mechanisms
Reconnect with yourself and your inner wisdom, strength, and capacity for healing and growth. Whether you want to work on self-worth, anxiety, creating greater well-being, or anything else, individual therapy is about your needs and goals, and how you want to show up in your life.
• develop confidence and feel more secure in who you are
• implement effective self-care to support mental, emotional, and relationship health
• learn to set healthy boundaries
• learn to regulate your nervous system
• decrease anxiety, social anxiety
• connect with your strengths, resources, and values
• make space for joy, fun, and rest
