I didn’t exactly land in Canada with a detailed five-point plan for merging my passions, but more like a gnawing hope that the tug-of-war between “helping people” and “being creatively me” could somehow coexist. Spoiler alert: it can. My work is built on two core beliefs: every person deserves kindness and connection, and every person carries a voice that’s entirely, beautifully their own—whether they know it yet or not. It’s taken a lot of trial, error, and one-too-many existential spirals to get here, but I’m deeply grateful for the winding road that led me to this work.
Let’s be real: being a human is messy. It’s lonely, confusing, and full of moments where we swear, we’ll “do better next time,” only to find ourselves stumbling into the same pothole. And that’s okay. Life asks us to be both brave and bewildered, to be hopeful even when everything feels impossibly stuck. It also asks us to treat ourselves with tenderness, the kind we’d extend to our favorite people, though doing that is somehow ten times harder.
I draw on a smorgasbord of therapeutic approaches, including art therapy, somatic work, nature-based therapy, and a host of other alphabet-soup acronyms (DBT, CBT, EMDR, ACT). But you don’t go to therapy for the lengthy acronyms; rather you go to therapy to make a bet on yourself that you can develop a more rewarding experience in life. A life where problems have solutions, where anxiety is not a condition but a signal, and a life where you are the weirdest you that you want to be, and you can look in the mirror and totally dig that beautiful weirdo looking back at you. Again, took me some trial and error to get me there as well…
Most importantly, though, I bring my own lived experience of navigating life’s highs and lows—a journey that’s made me especially passionate about supporting youth and young adults. Maybe that’s because I remember what it felt like to be a teenager, desperately wishing for someone who “got it” without trying to fix everything. That’s the space I aim to create for the people I work with: one of understanding, not judgment.
Let’s talk tools. Yes, therapy can provide plenty of them—ways to calm your nervous system, tweak unhelpful thought patterns, and understand ourselves better. But here’s the thing: all the tools in the world can only take you so far if you’re feeling disconnected. Disconnected from others, from yourself, from the world around you. That’s why I’m such a believer in group work. There’s something uniquely healing about sharing space with others, about feeling seen, heard, and un-alone in your struggles.
There are therapists that fit, and therapists that don’t. This is a zero pressure opportunity to connect, take a peek under the hood and see if we both think working together would be beneficial for you.
