You can usually see it happening in real time: the conversation that turns into the same argument, the wall that goes up right when someone gets close, or the voice in your head that won’t let you enjoy anything you’ve actually earned. But seeing it hasn’t been enough to change it.

I work with teens/young adults, adults, and couples. Whoever’s in the room, the work I do with my clients usually comes back to the same throughline: how past experiences shape the way you connect, communicate, respond to conflict, and let people close or keep them at a distance.

For some clients, that shows up as anxiety, perfectionism, or a self-critical voice that won’t ease up no matter what you accomplish. For others, it’s a relationship pattern that keeps repeating, or a family history more complicated than most therapy bios account for: adoption, fostering, child protection involvement, or family violence. My own background in child welfare and gender based violence work is part of why that complexity doesn’t throw me. I also have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ clients, and with parents navigating a child’s diagnosis or a big life change.

I draw on attachment theory and narrative therapy, with practical tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT. I use the Gottman Method with couples and my DDP training with families working through attachment ruptures, and I provide therapy in English, French, and Spanish. My personality is a bigger part of how I work than a bio can really capture. I’m down to earth and curious, and I’m comfortable offering a direct observation or a gentle challenge, not just reflecting things back.

Something feels off - even if you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe you’re exhausted from holding everything together, or you’re more reactive than you’d like to be and not sure why. You might be going through something hard in a relationship, carrying something heavy from the past, or just feeling like you’re constantly running on empty.

Things might look fine from the outside, but internally you’re struggling. Overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in the same cycles of stress, worry, or conflict. You may be someone who is capable and used to figuring things out on your own, but right now, something isn’t working the way it used to.

I work with men and women who feel this tension. Individuals who are high-functioning and self-aware, but starting to feel like things are slipping outside of their control. You may be noticing that your usual ways of coping aren’t working the same way anymore. Whether it’s overworking, making sure everything’s perfect, people-pleasing, overthinking, disconnecting from how you feel, or substances, you might be ready to find a different way of dealing with it.

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and IFS parts-based work, alongside polyvagal-informed practices. This means we focus on building awareness, emotional flexibility, and the ability to pause so you can respond instead of react, and feel more steady in yourself.

Rather than trying to manage or control the experience, we focus on helping you meet yourself where you are. Together, we look beyond your thoughts to what’s happening underneath them. These include your emotional patterns, your nervous system, and the parts of you that are trying to protect or cope.

We’ll work to understand the cycles that keep showing up. Over time, many clients notice they feel less reactive, more grounded, and more connected to what actually matters to them.

I aim to create a space that feels honest and free of judgment. Somewhere you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out before you walk in. Change happens naturally when you feel free to be yourself.

When what once worked no longer does, it can feel unsettling. You may be capable, thoughtful, and used to managing on your own, yet lately it feels like you’re holding everything together rather than truly living. The strategies that once helped you succeed – pushing harder, staying composed, putting others first – now leave you feeling anxious, exhausted, or quietly disconnected from yourself.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning and self-aware. From the outside, life may look “fine,” but internally there’s a sense that something is off. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a harsh inner critic can keep you stuck in cycles of self-doubt and burnout, even when you’re doing everything “right.” You might find yourself wondering why rest feels hard, why you’re so reactive or shut down, or why confidence feels fragile despite your accomplishments.

I work primarily with women who want to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves. Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and paced with care. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and protective strategies you’ve developed over time, honouring how they once helped you while gently challenging the ones that no longer serve you.

My approach integrates principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and parts-based work informed by IFS, alongside body-based practices. This means we’ll work with both your thoughts and your nervous system by building awareness, emotional flexibility, and the capacity to stay present with difficult internal experiences without being overwhelmed by them.

Rather than trying to “fix” yourself, our work focuses on cultivating self-trust, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion. Over time, many clients notice they feel less reactive and self-critical, more connected to their needs, and more able to make choices aligned with their values. Coming from a place of clarity, not pressure.

I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative; a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. One step at a time, we’ll slow things down and support a deeper reconnection with yourself, so your life can feel more sustainable, meaningful, and genuinely your own.

My goal is to help you move out of survival mode and into something more grounded, calm, and sustainable. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and rooted in nervous system science.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people, perfectionism, OCPD, burnout, anxiety, self-criticism, and insecure attachment - especially when those experiences have been running in the background for years.
