Lets normalize how difficult life and all of its nuances can be. We all struggle and have different ways of showing it (or not showing it). Whether you are having difficulty managing overwhelming emotions, or struggling to feel anything at all, I understand how extremely frustrating and isolating this can be. I understand how relationships can be affected, how past traumas can show up in the present, how depression and anxiety can result in guilt or shame. I want to help. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to struggle alone. I will support you in navigating your feelings and help bring some awareness and clarity into your life.

I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, family/childhood traumas and relationships. My approach is compassionate, supportive and directive; offering gentle challenges as needed. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment using a variety of Gestalt, CBT, relational, somatic, and embodied approaches.

I offer online zoom sessions for us to work together in the comfort of your own home. I also believe its important to ensure that the therapist you choose meets your needs and you feel safe and comfortable, so I welcome you to email me for a free 15 minute consultation so we can see how we can best work together to support you on your therapeutic journey.
