Those Finding Themselves Beneath the Mask

You are intelligent, strong, and strive to be the person others can count on. You can get things done, love to show up for your people, and you hold yourself to a high standard. However, underneath the competence, you feel a bit disconnected from yourself and quietly wonder, “Who am I actually when I’m not trying to be what everyone else needs me to be?”

You have spent years adapting, masking, people-pleasing, or fitting yourself into roles that made sense at the time. You’re good at adapting how you show up based on who you are around. But, there is a voice inside asking for more, that wants to better understand your values, needs, emotions, and identity. You want to explore the parts of yourself that have been pushed aside and reconnect with what feels authentically you. You want to work toward a stronger sense of self, deepen your self-trust, and live a life that feels more aligned with who you are, rather than who you’ve learned to be.

Those Understanding Themselves Through a Neurodivergent Lens

You’re creative and passionate and see patterns no one else seems to see. You feel experiences deeply, both the highs and the lows. When you have the right systems in place, you know you can thrive… but understanding yourself and building those systems? That's where the struggles come up. 

You might be viewed as highly successful in many aspects of your life, while constantly losing things, forgetting messages, struggling to transition between tasks, becoming overwhelmed, or needing far more recovery time than others realize. From the outside, you may look completely capable. Internally, you’re exhausted, constantly compensating, and forcing your brain to function in a way that doesn’t come naturally. 

Living in a neurotypical world isn’t always been easy, but you don’t want to be reduced to a diagnosis or laundry list of symptoms. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed with ADHD, autism, and/or another form of neurodivergence, or the signs are just too obvious to ignore, it’s time to better understand how your brain works, and learn to embrace who your truly are.

Those Seeking Mind-Body Connection

You fluctuate between feeling “too much” and shoving your emotions down so no one (not even you), can find them. You overthink conversations long after they've happened, become easily overwhelmed by competing demands, struggle to come down from stress, or find yourself moving between feeling highly activated and completely depleted.

In the past you’ve brushed feelings aside, kept functioning, or told yourself that you're overreacting. You've become so accustomed to being "on" that you don't always recognize how stressed your body is until you reach a breaking point and your body starts getting loud. Now you’re seeking a way to understand what's happening beneath the surface rather than simply trying to think your way out of it like you’ve always done.

You are looking for therapy that can help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotional and nervous system responses while building practical ways to work with them. You’ve dabbled in practices like yoga, meditation, or other body-focused modalities, and you want to bring that into therapy because simply talking about how you feel doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s time to explore what your body may be communicating, understand those signals, and learn how you can develop a more meaningful connection with yourself.

How I Help

It’s Time to Listen to Who You Are Deep Inside
Rather than seeing your struggles as something that needs to be fixed, let’s understand what they may be trying to tell you and what you may have needed along the way. Together, we’ll make space for curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of yourself so change can grow from a place of self-awareness.



Therapy to Gently Reconnect with Yourself
My approach to therapy is warm, curious, and collaborative. I believe that the ways we think, feel, and respond are influenced by our experiences, relationships, and the ways we’ve learned to navigate the world. I see therapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert on your own experience, while I bring psychological knowledge, curiosity, and a different perspective to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your relationships, your sense of self, and the ways you move through the world. We’ll also consider which of those patterns may have once helped you cope, but may no longer be serving you in the same way. 

My work is somatic, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming. As a psychologist and yoga teacher, I’m particularly interested in the connection between our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships, communities, and nervous systems. When it feels appropriate, we can incorporate mindfulness, movement, body awareness, or other somatic practices to help you notice what is happening within you and develop new ways of responding to stress and emotion.

I’ll offer support and compassion, while also gently challenging you when it may help you move toward the life you want. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can better understand yourself, learn to honour your needs, and develop greater trust in your own internal experience.

Therapies I use in my work: Somatic and Body-Based Approaches, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy

A Little About Me

A Little Backstory

In the beginning, I studied brain and cognition sciences within a psychological framework, working in concussion research, and diving deep into how the brain and body respond to stress and trauma.

But it was my own journey with chronic illness, panic attacks, and burnout that led me to embodiment practices and yoga. I realized healing wasn’t just cognitive—it had to involve the body, the nervous system, and the soul. Becoming a yoga teacher felt like the missing piece that helped bridge the knowledge my body was intuitively trying to tell me with the education that was my passion. Now, I blend these two worlds in the therapy room: science and spirit, intellect and intuition, grounding and expansion.

When I’m Not in Session

When I’m not in sessions, you’ll often find me in nature hiking, snowboarding, running, or walking by the river with my mini-Aussiedoodle, Bailey. I love all types of music, learning, deep chats, candles, girlie craft nights, and reading with a cup of tea in hand (usually from my extensive mug collection). I find joy in both movement and stillness—dance parties and yoga flows, as well as naps, daydreams, and watching the sky change colours. Life is full of sacred little moments, and I’m continually working to notice them all.
