Welcome!
​
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Child and Youth Counsellor with over 20 years of experience working with youth, adolescents, and their families in crisis.​
​
I believe that every person has unique strengths, and I take a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach to therapy that honours who you are as a whole person. Whether you're navigating life's challenges, working through anxiety or stress, striving for personal growth, or looking to enhance your performance, therapy is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
As both a therapist and endurance athlete I am someone with a strong understanding of the athletic experience. I enjoy supporting athletes, active individuals, and high performers in developing the mental skills needed to thrive in sport and in life. From managing performance anxiety and building confidence to strengthening resilience, focus, and motivation, I help clients develop practical strategies that support both well-being and peak performance.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and mental performance techniques to create an experience that aligns with your strengths, values, and personal style. Together, we'll build on what is already working, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting change both in competition and in everyday life.
