Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes it leaves us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves, from others, or from the life we want to be living. If you’re carrying the weight of anger, stress, anxiety, navigating relationship struggles, or trying to make sense of old wounds, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and compassion.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in the corporate world, with a significant portion of that time in coaching and leadership roles. That chapter gave me a deep appreciation for how people grow, lead, connect, and sometimes struggle within systems that don’t always support their full humanity. It also grounded my work in the importance of inclusion, equity, and understanding the unique experiences we all carry.

Today, I focus on supporting individuals and couples as they move through challenges and toward more connected, authentic lives. My work is informed by a psychobiological and somatic approach, which means we’ll explore how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact and how healing can happen on multiple levels.

For individuals, I offer a space where you can slow down, tune in, and process what’s been hard to carry—whether that’s old trauma, emotional numbness, stress, or the pressure to meet external expectations. I have a special interest in working with men ready to explore their emotional world, break free from limiting patterns, and show up more fully in their lives and relationships.

With couples, I help partners move from conflict and disconnection to deeper understanding and secure connection. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, working on communication, navigating life transitions, or preparing for a deeper commitment, we’ll work together to shift patterns and foster emotional safety.

My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to your unique story. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR,  PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, always through a culturally sensitive lens.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. If you’re ready to explore what’s been getting in the way and take steps toward a more connected, meaningful life, I’d be honoured to be part of that journey with you.
