As a Dance/Movement Therapist intern, I work with the body as a bridge to understanding emotions and internal processes, as well as using movement as an outlet for expression. My goal is to assist you to find your most authentic self and find comfort in expressing from that place. I am a compassionate and embodied professional who works with individuals, couples, and groups.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with individuals and couples. Some have been struggling for a long time while others have lost their footing in the face of recent life stress. Change and growth happen when individuals feel that they are taken seriously, understood, accepted, and supported. In this context, my clients become more open, aware, and honest about the full range of their thoughts and feelings. Hope and courage grow as they face life's challenges. They learn new, flexible, and effective ways to think and respond, alter unhelpful patterns in relationships, and gain greater self-acceptance and resilience.

No one is meant to struggle alone. Our counselling team provides support to people of all ages dealing with various life issues, whether it is a parent seeking education and support in caring for their child, a person struggling with depression, a child dealing with anxiety, a couple trying to fortify a relationship that is under strain, or a sibling who needs support to understand their brother’s or sister’s disability. We strive to build a trusting bond with each of our clients and come alongside them in handling life’s challenging moments.

I believe we are created for relationships. These relationships can wound us, but they also have tremendous healing potential. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore their experiences and make meaning out of difficult circumstances.

I focus on Neuropsychological and Psychological Assessment with a wide variety of patients, including those for whom neurosurgery is being considered, those with neurological conditions, psychiatric conditions, and for the purposes of insurance, personal injury, documentation of intellectual disability, dementia queries, and sport concussion and return-to-play issues.

Loss, trauma, life changes, illness, or relational problems can cause difficulties that impact one's quality of life. Although time can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of problems and personal growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. Quality of life and contentment increase as the ability to process issues develops. I help my clients resolve emotional difficulties related to life circumstances and struggles with family, friends or co-workers. Building on current areas of strength and, when necessary, tackling new areas of competence we work together to rebuild or develop your sense of inner strength.

Are you feeling drained and exhausted by what feels like never-ending anxiety? Experiencing work, family and personal stress can be overwhelming, and cause us to shut down or become upset. From work to sleep to relationships, joy is missing. You might feel burned out, alone, and perhaps disconnected from your own body. You might have tried other resources and they aren't working. You don’t know where to turn. Here’s where I come in. I have worked through personal trauma, work-related stress, and experienced career changes. Now I seek to provide a safe place for people to find a helpful way forward.

Navigating any sudden change in your life can heighten your emotions. Are you experiencing higher normal levels of.......frustration, stress, sadness, fear and feelings of loss & uncertainty? Our lives have been profoundly changed by the impact of the ongoing global health crises. I know you may be concerned for yourself, for your loved ones and for your community. You may be suffering right now and are afraid.

I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in treatment for children and adolescents (up to age 21 years). I have trained and worked in a pediatric hospital and multiple mental health clinics and have expertise in mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, body image concerns, child behavior difficulties, etc.) and health psychology (e.g., sleep, chronic pain, coping with medical conditions, etc.). I'm also passionate about supporting parent-child relationships, recognizing such relationships as integral to promoting resilience throughout life’s challenges.

Welcome and thank you for reading about my practice.

I aim to understand each unique person through a holistic narrative lens, where I am interested in the ways that stories are embodied through: mind, emotions, body, relationship, culture, spirituality, and context. I use openness, curiosity, and warmth to collaboratively understand the rich history and lived experiences that make up the current landscape of your life.

Therapy is a unique individual journey that requires trust, honesty, and authenticity at its core from day one. I strive for all these qualities with clients and to use my clinical skills to foster successful healing and growth that addresses current mental health challenges and in the pursuit of long-term sustainable mental health and wellness. My clinical practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, anti-racism, and social justice foundation, and I specialize in individual therapy with adolescents (ages 12-19) and adults of all ages.

I’m an experienced counsellor who can help you explore your fears and anxieties without feeling judged.

We can examine difficulties in making and keeping relationships and evaluate assumptions and beliefs. I offer a variety of counselling services that will nurture your spirit, help you overcome personal challenges, and allow you to achieve your individual life goals.

To me, therapy is about the person sitting across from me. Together, we can collaboratively explore and influence your past, present and hopes for the future. For everything, including your thoughts, behaviors and emotions. My goal is helping clients identify and work towards meaningful change. As human beings, we all possess an inherent yearning for connection, as we enter this world entirely reliant on others. Through helping clients achieve their goals, I strive to improve their connections and increase their resilience against the challenges of life.

When life feels difficult and circumstances get in our way, it can be hard to turn for help. When you are ready to take the first step, we can get you there together. I recognize that you know yourself best, so I believe in collaborating closely to identify your own unique needs and strengths. I strive to cultivate a safe and compassionate environment for my clients to help build trust in the process. I also create an inclusive and accessible space where clients can feel comfortable to express their needs and achieve their goals.
