Hello and welcome.
I show up in a lot of roles: therapist, mom, sister, daughter, friend. But before any of that, I’m a human being trying to make sense of my own story while helping others understand theirs. I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, how much it matters to have spaces where we’re allowed to be messy, curious, imperfect, and honest, and I try to create that kind of space for the people I work with.
I moved from Slovakia to Canada with my family when I was young, and growing up as a first-generation Canadian shaped me in more ways than I understood at the time. It taught me about resilience, identity, belonging, and what it feels like to hold two worlds inside you. That experience sits at the heart of why I care so deeply about the emotional lives of others.
As a trauma therapist in BC, I work with individuals and couples navigating ADHD, motherhood, early attachment, childhood wounds, people-pleasing, and the pull to keep everyone else comfortable at the expense of themselves. Before private practice, I spent years in community mental health and family practice settings, witnessing how complex people’s lives really are. Those experiences showed me that change happens in small shifts, quiet realizations, and moments where someone finally feels safe enough to breathe.
I’ve had my own seasons of struggle, and I don’t hide the fact that those experiences inform the way I practice. I know what it’s like to sit in a therapist’s office hoping someone will meet you gently and without judgment. My approach is warm, grounded, and real. I believe we heal in relationship when someone is willing to sit with us, stay curious with us, and help us learn how to carry our stories with more compassion.
My hope is that therapy with me feels like a place where you can exhale, be yourself, and slowly build the kind of inner safety that lets real change happen.
