Therapeutic Offerings
I offer virtual therapy only for folks who live in British Columbia. For those who may be hesitant about this modality, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s pretty nice not to commute and to be in the comfort of your own space. We will also utilize your environment in our work and find what feels regulating or comforting so that you can go back to these resources outside of session.
Individual Therapy - 60 minute sessions - $180
Couples Therapy - 75 minute sessions - $250
I offer a free 15-minute consultation via video to make sure it feels like a good fit! Book your free consultation below, or feel free to email me first if you have any questions.

In individual therapy, I support my clients with many different aspects of their lives, such as:
Root causes of anxiety and depression I view anxiety and depression as a symptom of our life circumstances and often early relational wounding. Together we work to process these injuries that remain in our autonomic nervous system and bodies, and cultivate a new relationship with self.
Attachment wounds and trauma None of us come out of our childhoods unaffected. Together we get clear on what may have been misattuned in our earliest years, and how this may still be contributing to our overall wellbeing and relational health.
Nervous system regulation We'll work together to help you understand your own nervous system, recognizing patterns of activation and shutdown, and building tools to feel more grounded, safe, and present in your body and daily life.
Chronic pain and endometriosis Living with chronic pain or endometriosis affects far more than the body. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to support you in navigating the emotional, relational, and identity impacts of chronic physical conditions.
Highly sensitive people (HSP) If you've always felt "too much" or overwhelmed by a world that isn't built for sensitivity, we'll work together to help you understand this trait as a strength, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build a life that honours who you are.
Life transitions and self-doubt Whether you're navigating a major life change or feeling stuck in uncertainty, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your own inner knowing and move forward with more clarity and self-trust.
Relationship and communication challenges We'll explore your relational patterns with partners, family, work colleagues, or friends, to build healthier communication, deeper connection, and a stronger sense of self within your relationships.
Root causes of substance use Rather than focusing only on the behavior itself, we'll work together to understand what's underneath it: the pain, needs, or wounds substance use may be attempting to soothe, so healing can happen at the root.
Honouring your own path Including working through people-pleasing patterns and other adaptive strategies that may have served you once but now keep you disconnected from your own needs and voice.

My approach to couples therapy is informed by attachment theory (how our earliest relationships with our primary caregiver(s) impacts our ability to relate to our significant others), combined with working through past wounding and trauma that may keep us stuck in cycles that are harmful.
I provide the container in which couples learn:
Repairing past hurts – Working through what happened so each partner can name what they need to feel safe enough to reconnect and heal. Practicing repair in real time.
Communicating effectively – Learning skills and tools to "fight well," arguing more productively instead of destructively.
Repair and co-regulation – How to repair after conflict, and how to become a safe, steady attachment figure for your partner.
Moving beyond defensive patterns – Recognizing and working through self-protection strategies like blaming, withdrawing, passivity, and resentful compliance.
Compassion for each other's younger parts – Understanding the younger parts of your partner that may still be yearning for a particular need, and learning to attend to them with compassion, while still holding healthy boundaries.
Deepening intimacy and connection – Strengthening trust and building a genuine sense of team.
Differentiation – Developing a strong sense of self alongside a strong sense of partnership.
Emotion regulation – Building healthy, regulated ways to feel and express emotion, individually and together.
