About Me

I bring over 20 years of experience as a therapist and social worker. I’m deeply committed to walking alongside people ready to explore their inner world and move toward healing. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and always tailored to your unique experience.

One of the core methods I use is Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a gentle, non-judgmental approach that helps you become aware of the different “parts” of yourself. Many of us carry wounded parts shaped by past experiences, along with protective parts that try to help us cope. In IFS therapy, we give those parts space to be heard and begin healing the burdens they carry. This process can be especially helpful if you often feel stuck in repeating patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from who you really are.

I also integrate trauma-informed careCognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Narrative Therapy to support emotional regulation, build coping tools, and process painful or traumatic memories at your own pace.

For individuals and couples seeking to reconnect with their sexuality and intimacy, I offer sex therapy. Together, we can explore issues like desire, sexual identity, communication challenges, body image, and the impacts of trauma, always at your pace, and always with care and respect.

I have a particular passion for working with first responders and front-line workers—people who are used to taking care of everyone else, often at the expense of their own well-being. I understand how cumulative stress, trauma, and burnout can silently take hold, and I provide a space where you don’t need to be “on.” You can just be human here.

I also support individuals living with chronic pain and illness, helping them navigate the emotional toll that often accompanies physical health challenges. Together, we can explore how to soften suffering, reconnect with your body, and create space for compassion and meaning, regardless of where you are in your journey.

Approach to Supervision

As an integrative trauma therapist and eclectic practitioner, my approach to supervision is grounded in flexibility, attunement, and relational safety. I believe supervision is a collaborative process that must honour the developmental stage, experience level, and unique style of each supervisee. Whether I am working with someone new to the field or a seasoned clinician, my primary goal is to "meet them where they are"—emotionally, professionally, and clinically. My orientation is influenced by trauma-focused principles, which include safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural humility. I create a supervision space where supervisees can reflect openly, explore clinical challenges without fear of judgment, and deepen their personal and professional growth. Supervision is non-directive, encouraging critical thinking, self-reflection, and experiential learning. However, I will take a more directive stance when necessary—particularly in cases involving legal, ethical, or risk-related concerns—to ensure client and practitioner safety and uphold professional standards. Ultimately, I see supervision as a space to nurture integrity, deepen clinical insight, and foster resilience, so that supervisees can show up more fully for themselves and those they serve.
