Therapy & Emotional Guidance
Healing of the Heart
There is a particular kind of pain that comes with feeling cut off — from your own heart, from other people, from the living world around you, from the sense of aliveness and possibility you know, somewhere, is meant to be yours. The numbness, the too-muchness, the quiet despair you might carry aren’t signs that you’re broken; they’re signals that something in you is still alive and reaching for connection.
In our work together, we move slowly enough to actually feel what’s here. Session by session, what has been buried or blurred begins to take shape and be held with care, in the presence of someone listening for what lives underneath the pain and the shut-down. As we tend to your inner world, we are also gently reweaving connection — with yourself, with others, with community, with the wider living world you’re part of. Over time, what has felt fragmented and far away begins to feel like it belongs to you again — and from that, something real begins to shift.
MY APPROACH
You are not broken. You are responding to real experiences.
My work is built on the belief that healing isn’t about fixing you — it’s about understanding you. I’m a Registered Social Worker in Ontario, trained and practiced in Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Core Belief Work. I’ve been doing this since 2020 across nonprofit, court, and private practice settings. I show up to sessions ready to meet whatever is present — with honesty, care, and a little humanity.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with highly sensitive people, those navigating anxiety, grief, relational wounds, and life transitions. If you feel deeply, if your nervous system responds quickly and intensely to the world around you, if you’re grappling with the gap between your inner experience and your ability to make sense of it — you’re exactly the kind of person I show up for. This work isn’t about smoothing you out or making you less. It’s about meeting what’s actually here and creating space for it to be understood.
Two Paths to Support
Two ways to work together — both rooted in the same care.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few things people often wonder about.
What can I expect in the first session?
During onboarding, I’ll have you fill out an intake form along with consents. A first session feels like stepping into an unlit room — I ask questions that help us illuminate your emotional, mental, social, and physical landscape. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and your wishes, and I’ll share practical steps and approaches for the path forward.
Will my insurance cover sessions?
As a Registered Social Worker, the majority of insurances will cover therapy sessions for Ontario residents. Direct billing is available for most insurances. Note that insurance does not cover non-therapy services.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require 48 hours notice to cancel without payment. Cancellations within 48 hours are billed at 50% of the session fee. If you’re able to reschedule within the same work week, fees are waived.
