It takes courage to pause and turn toward what feels difficult—to meet the thoughts, feelings, and relationship challenges that weigh on you. If you’re here, you’ve already taken an important step, and I want to honour that. You don’t have to navigate this path alone. Together, we can bring curiosity, compassion, and presence to whatever arises, allowing space for clarity, resilience, and connection to emerge.

Over the past 15 years, I have walked alongside adults facing many different kinds of challenges, including anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, self-worth struggles, and life transitions. Many of my clients have also experienced trauma—whether in childhood or adulthood—that continues to shape their relationships with themselves and others. My intention is to hold a steady, compassionate space where these experiences can be explored at a pace that feels safe and meaningful.

How I work

My approach is collaborative and integrative. I draw from humanistic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based perspectives, as well as somatic and mindfulness practices such as Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, breathwork, mindfulness and nervous system regulation. These approaches support embodied healing—helping you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, expand your capacity to be with emotions, and deepen resilience.

When working with couples, I bring in the wisdom of pleasure as a vital part of the process. Pleasure allows us to slow down, stay with our experience, and rediscover the playfulness and enjoyment that so often get lost in relationships. My work is grounded in an integrative approach that weaves together humanistic, attachment-based, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and neuroscience perspectives. Through this lens, I support partners in deepening intimacy and sexuality, repairing emotional injuries, and strengthening communication. I hold space for each partner’s unique history while tending to the bond that connects them, with the aim of fostering trust, openness, and connection.

My intention

My practice is inclusive and welcoming to people of diverse identities, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences. I strive to co-create a space that feels collaborative and attuned, where your choices guide the process. At times we may draw on reflective tools to help us understand your needs, but the heart of our work is always rooted in the relationship between us, presence, compassion, and your own inner wisdom.

Who I am

Over the past 15 years, I have worked in private practice with individuals, couples and groups focused on trauma recovery, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. I have training in Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing and bring over 20 years of personal mindfulness and meditation practice to my clinical work. I am deeply influenced by over two decades of dedicated meditation practice, annual silent Vipassana retreats, and my training as a meditation teacher under Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). At the Centre for Interpersonal Relationships (CFIR), I am a psychotherapist under the supervision of Dr. Dino Zuccarni C.Psych..
