I’m a real human therapist — warm, and curious. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and honest. I ask questions, notice patterns, and sometimes challenge things when it’s helpful. We’ll probably laugh along the way.

​

I’m also neurodiverse (ADHD, diagnosed in my mid-thirties). Figuring this out has helped to make sense of my life and learn to not live "against the grain". So I get how brains can work differently and how frustrating that can feel.

​

I know what it’s like to sit on the other side of the couch — I started therapy at age 17, have worked with several therapists, and these experiences have changed my life completely. That’s what inspired me to become a therapist myself. I'm grateful that now I can pay it forward. 

​

What It’s Like to Work With Me

​

• I'm engaged and curious, asking questions and noticing patterns

• My approach is somewhere in between direct and gentle

• Our work is collaborative — you’re the expert on your life

• Therapy can be messy, slow, sometimes uncomfortable, but it works

• Insight alone isn’t enough; real change happens over time

• I'm thoughtful about how we use our time together

• We can laugh along the way​

• You are welcome to swear as needed (I will too!)

​

Things I Believe About Therapy

​

• Therapy works best when it’s collaborative

• It is rarely a quick fix

• Growth is rarely linear — setbacks are normal

• Sometimes the work you need isn’t what you expected

• Humans are adaptable; change is possible

• Not every therapist is the right fit for every person

• Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you or giving advice

• You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting

• While there is no "right way" to do therapy, it does require intentional effort outside of session

 

Life Outside Therapy

​

I live in Prince Edward County, Ontario, enjoying a slower, simpler pace of life. I love gardening, hiking, skiing, puzzles, crafts, movies, yoga, and my two cats, who occasionally wrestle outside my office door.

​

I grew up partly in Toronto and partly on a farm, and I’ve traveled and lived overseas. Those experiences gave me a broader perspective on culture, identity, and the many different ways people make sense of their lives.
