For nearly two decades, I worked in high-pressure roles in communications, crisis response, public safety, and government—helping people navigate some of life's most challenging moments. Long before becoming a therapist, I understood what it meant to live in a constant state of readiness.
 

I spent nearly a decade growing up in a war-affected environment, including on air force bases where my father served as a fighter pilot and base commander. Later, my career took me from communications and government relations to supporting public safety, emergency preparedness, and national priorities, including with the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada and as an Information Officer within Emergency Operations Centres during crisis activations.
 

Those experiences gave me more than an understanding of trauma—they taught me the hidden cost of always being the one who keeps going, stays composed, and carries the weight for others.
 

Today, I help individuals, youth, couples, and families navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life's major transitions through trauma-informed, neuroscience-guided psychotherapy. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I help you understand how your brain, nervous system, and protective responses adapted to help you survive—and how those same systems can support healing, resilience, and lasting change.
 

My work is shaped by three perspectives that rarely come together: lived experience, leadership in high-pressure environments, and advanced training in trauma, ongoing studies in neuroscience, and evidence-based psychotherapy. It's this combination that allows me to meet people with both clinical expertise and genuine understanding.
