Experiential Accelerated Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
AEDP is a deeply relational approach that focuses on what’s happening in the here and now. It’s all about creating a safe, healing relationship where we can explore your feelings in real-time. Many people come to therapy because relationships—whether with themselves or others—feel broken or difficult. AEDP gives us a space to repair that, together. It’s not just about understanding your past but using the relationship we build in session to create real-time emotional healing. Whether you’re navigating trauma or just feeling disconnected, AEDP offers a compassionate, supportive space where emotional wounds can be felt, processed, and transformed in the moment.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is about getting to know the different parts of you—like the one that shuts down when things get hard, the one that gets snappy, or the one that shops when you're overwhelmed. Think Inside Out, but instead of just emotions, it’s the many ways you’ve learned to cope.
These aren’t “multiple personalities”—just protective strategies you've picked up along the way. Together, we’ll get curious about what each part needs and how to bring more balance between the thinking parts and the ones that hold deeper, gut-level wisdom. Sometimes we’ll talk it out, but often we’ll tune into your body for guidance, helping all your parts feel heard and work more in sync.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT for Couples)
In couples work, the relationship is the client—not either partner. Using EFT, we identify the cycle you keep getting stuck in—the same argument, silence, or disconnect—and explore how each person’s reactions, though protective, may be keeping you apart.
Rather than picking sides, we slow things down to uncover the fears, longings, and patterns underneath. Most sessions are together, with occasional individual sessions for deeper work. My goal is to create a space where both of you feel safe enough to turn toward each other again—with more softness, intention, and care.

Brainspotting
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a gentle, brain-based therapy rooted in the idea that where you look can influence how you feel. It helps identify “brainspots”, eye positions that are linked to emotionally charged experiences, allowing your brain and body to process feelings that may be hard to put into words.How is it different from EMDR?
Brainspotting came out of EMDR. Both use eye position, but Brainspotting is slower, more intuitive, and less structured, focusing on presence and the body’s natural ability to heal, without needing to revisit every detail.
Who I am
I came to this work through my own experience with anxiety. There was a time when cycles of anxiety and depression made my world a lot smaller than it is now. It means a lot to me to support people as they begin to expand again—into themselves, their relationships, and their environments. In my previous job as an educator, I saw how much relationships shape us and how important emotional safety is before change becomes possible. Emotional safety is now the cornerstone of my practice, balancing safety with that tiny leading edge that leads to growth.
I work with humour, lightness, and humility, and I bring a systems-based lens to therapy—looking at the bigger picture of what’s shaped you, not just what’s “wrong.” I welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences, and clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to.
Outside the office, I’m often at home with my husband, two dogs, and two cats. When I’m playing (an important part of being human), I can be found gardening, performing improv comedy, and learning to play the guitar - badly, but with feeling!
