Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years as a performer and comedian, which means I know a thing or two about using humour to navigate pain, connect with others, and sometimes, keep ourselves afloat. During that time, I was also deep in my own therapeutic journey: working closely with my therapist to face and heal from past traumas of my own.

Therapy changed my life. It gave me the space to understand myself, to question old beliefs, to unpack self-blame, and to learn how to live with more intention, compassion, and choice. That experience of feeling seen, supported, and empowered lit a fire in me to help others find that same kind of healing.

Today, as a trauma-informed therapist, I bring all of that lived experience into the room, along with deep empathy, curiosity, and yes, a healthy dose of humour when it fits. I work collaboratively with clients who are navigating major life transitions, processing past trauma, or reckoning with complex family relationships and a sense of not quite fitting the mold.
