Psychologist & Founder

I work with adults who are figuring themselves out — maybe for the first time, or maybe all over again. That might look like exploring identity, navigating burnout, adjusting to a recent diagnosis, or unpacking how the world’s expectations have shaped how you move through life.

  • I work with young adults, adults & adolescents who are figuring themselves out — maybe for the first time, or maybe all over again. That might look like exploring identity, navigating burnout, adjusting to a recent diagnosis, or unpacking how the world’s expectations have shaped how you move through life.
     

    I often support neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those in the sex work industry — this is a space where you're welcome, seen, and safe. I also support those dealing with anxiety, low mood, perfectionismpeople-pleasing, masking, or just feeling totally overwhelmed. Some are processing trauma, some are navigating tricky relationships or big changes, and some just want a space to be real without having to explain every little thing.

    Whoever you are and wherever you're at — you're welcome here.

  •  

    I’m not here to tell you who you are or what to do. You bring the lived experience — I bring curiosity, reflection, and a few tools that might help things feel a bit lighter or clearer.

    I work in a way that’s flexible, collaborative, and shaped by the stuff that actually matters — your values, your history, your relationships, and the systems around you. I draw from a bunch of approaches (like person-centredschema therapy, EMDRparts work and more), but it’s never one-size-fits-all. We figure it out together, at your pace.

  •  

    You want a warm, laidback therapist who’s a real person and keeps sessions relaxed and unpretentious. Someone who isn’t afraid to swear when it fits, shows up in comfy clothes, and encourages you to do the same.
     

    You want a genuine connection — no robot vibes here — with someone whose goal is to listen and actually care. In our sessions, we might share relatable TikToks that nail your mood, drop internet slang, snack, or chat about new tattoos. Fidgets, squishmallows, and pets? Always welcome.

Honourary Team Members

Not officially on the payroll, but definitely part of the team. Our honourary members mostly contribute by napping, supervising snack breaks, and occasionally making a guest appearance on Telehealth calls. They take their roles as emotional support crew very seriously (unless the mailman is nearby).
