It is a holistic therapy modality used to promote a stronger mind-body connection, develop deeper self awareness and explore introspectively.

The event includes intention setting, guided conscious connected breathing, reflections and integration.

You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward? You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you.

I'm excited to offer a safe space for individuals with ostomies to share their experiences, learn coping strategies, and build community. My experience working at a medical supply store provided me with valuable insights into the practical and emotional aspects of ostomy care. I combine that knowledge with my therapeutic expertise to offer compassionate and effective support. I believe in empowering individuals to live full and confident lives, and I'm excited to be a part of this support group to connect with others and foster a community of understanding and encouragement.

Life throws curveballs, and sometimes you just need a safe space to talk about it all. I'm a psychotherapist who believes in creating a judgment-free zone where you can be completely yourself. I bring warmth, understanding, and a touch of humor to our sessions, because sometimes, laughing at the absurdity of it all can be the most healing thing. As we embark on this journey together, my priority is to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard. My approach centers on transparency and authentic connection.

As a helping professional, do you find that the emotional demands of your work are leaving you disconnected from your partner or feeling emotionally shut off? Conversations may feel tense or lacking in depth, and the intimacy you once shared seems to be slipping away. Whether you’re in a monogamous relationship or exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), relationship challenges can feel overwhelming. Especially if you are not used to asking for help, having always held the role of a helper, or having learned that your needs will not be met no matter how hard you try to voice it. You don't have to feel alone on the path to reconnection!

Navigating the leap from college into “real life” can be overwhelming. It can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense of disconnection. This weekly therapy group is a space for young adults to explore the pressure to “have it all figured out”, shifts in identity, and more. Through open conversation and shared experiences we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in real time, practice tools for self-regulation, connection, and clarity, while also building insight and emotional resilience. My background is in working with college students and love providing opportunities to decrease isolation while navigating transition periods! Starts July.

In this small group we will use writing as a tool for healing in a safe and supportive virtual community space. Using writing prompts (eg. poetry, prose, imagery) drawn from various artists you will be guided gently into your own inner world of emotion, inquiry, memory, and imagination. We will write together to find our voices, explore what limits them, create inner-safety for their emergence, and give each other courage through community. No previous writing experience is necessary. We are all writers and story-tellers by virtue of our humanity. PLEASE NOTE: This group is facilitated by our amazing psychotherapy intern Allison Oke.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Art Therapist who supports youth, families and adults across a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem, family conflict, relationships, ADHD, career and burnout, self-actualization, racial identity, and trauma.
Your inner world shapes your experience of the outer world, and vice versa. And so it makes sense to understand your inner workings, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself, and remove the barriers in the psyche that prevent you from experiencing the world in a way that feels authentic, liberated, peaceful and expansive. This is the gift of psychotherapy – whether through talk therapy or art therapy, I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences collected on your journey, as well as to spark the change you wish to see in your life.

I specialize in supporting adults, children, + adolescents who are stuck - attachment wounds, PTSD, sexual trauma, tough transitions, chronic medical pain, academic/ creative blocks.
Old ways of coping are leaving you feeling lousy - overwhelmed, anxious, angry, numb, not good enough, depressed, abandoned. Often, we carry unconscious ways of thinking, acting, + relating that make it hard to function, creating roadblocks to joy and fulfillment. You may be intensely self-critical or drawn to narcissistic relationships; you may feel stuck in shame or sadness. You're hungry for personal growth and ready to re-map those tender, painful places. With care, curiosity, and compassion, we'll explore your narrrative to unpack how you relate to yourself and others, identify how you function best, and help you to get there.
