About Me

I’m dedicated to supporting individuals and couples who have experienced significant trauma, including those living with complex PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Trauma can leave us feeling stuck—caught in the past, overwhelmed by pain, and disconnected from the present. My goal is to help you gently process those past experiences so you can reclaim the life you want to live.

I welcome people of all cultures, faiths, genders, and sexual orientations, and I honour the uniqueness of each person’s story. My approach is grounded in respect, compassion, and curiosity.

With extensive training and experience, I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities to meet the diverse needs of my clients. I am certified in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), a parts-based model designed to address trauma at its core. I also draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, DBT, CBT, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

In our work together, we’ll explore your life experiences, identify meaningful changes, and build strategies that align with your goals. I believe therapy is a personal and empowering journey, and I’m here to offer a safe and steady presence as you navigate the path forward.
