Work With Me
Relationship Therapy for Individuals and Couples in Ontario & Newfoundland
For those questioning a relationship, recovering from narcissistic dynamics, or rebuilding identity after relational disruption.
I believe healing begins with compassionate curiosity and the courage to turn toward your experiences with kindness. In our work together, I offer a calm, supportive space to explore the patterns, emotions, and stories that shape your life. My goal is to help you feel more connected: to yourself, to others, and to the life you want to live, with gentleness, empowerment, and authenticity at the heart of the process.
A short-term, structured process for couples deciding whether to repair or separate.
Attachment-focused work for partners committed to rebuilding trust, intimacy, and communication.
Personal Interests
I am fortunate to live near many conservation areas that I frequent daily with my two rescue dogs. Nature, sunlight, and houseplants are central to my daily life, alongside hiking, reading, thrifting, pickleball, and plant-based living for ethical, environmental, and health reasons.

About Me
My Approach
Many clients navigating relationship uncertainty feel anxious, hypervigilant, or emotionally shut down. I pay close attention to how your nervous system responds to conflict, distance, or emotional intensity, and we work to create safety before clarity.
My work is trauma-informed and relational. I integrate attachment science, nervous system regulation (polyvagal theory), self-compassion practices, and acceptance-based approaches (ACT) to help clients move toward clarity and emotional safety. I draw from diverse, evidence-informed modalities to help individuals and couples make grounded decisions, especially when relationships feel uncertain or emotionally complex.
Attachment & Relationally Focused
Our early experiences shape how we pursue, withdraw, or protect ourselves in relationships. I help you understand your patterns and your partner’s, so decisions are made from awareness rather than reactivity.
Values-Based & Meaning-Oriented
When deciding whether to stay or leave, fear and guilt can cloud judgment. We slow the process down and clarify your values, identity, and long-term vision so your choices align with who you want to be.
Why I became a therapist
I became a therapist because I deeply believe people do not need to carry their pain alone. In this video, I share a bit about what drew me to this work and how I aim to create a space that feels calm, respectful, and genuinely supportive. My hope is that you get a sense of who I am and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Why Moss & Stone?
Moss
Stone
Stone, by contrast, is enduring and grounded. It carries history, shaped yet unbroken by life’s storms. At times, it reflects our defenses, the hardness that forms in response to pain or fear.
Moss grows in places that seem inhospitable, showing that healing and resilience can take root even in harsh conditions. Its growth is quiet and steady, change unfolding slowly with time.
Alone, moss is fragile and stone is hard. Together, they form a resilient, living balance - a reminder that healing involves both strength and softness.
Together
I Can't Wait to Meet You
If something here resonates, the next step is a brief consultation call. This gives you space to ask questions, share what is bringing you in, and determine whether this feels like a good fit.
Clarity begins with one conversation.
