***EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS AVAILABLE *** I work with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns. Many find it challenging to identify and regulate their emotions. They often act impulsively and struggle to maintain consistency in their day-to-day life. Many of the individuals I work with find interpersonal relationships challenging and may even vacillate between pushing people away and clinging to people. It is not uncommon for clients to currently be or to have previously engaged in self-harm and/or suicide ideation.

Everyone struggles with certain things at different times in their lives. Mental wellness is a journey, not a destination and we are all at different points along the path. Sometimes, we need help guiding our steps and knowing how best to keep going. My ideal client may be struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma or personality disorders. Generally, they realize that things in their life are just not working and they want to learn new ways of behaving, thinking and relating to themselves and others to make lasting changes. My practice with clients is collaborative and supportive.

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a meaningful and rewarding life, but sometimes, this can feel out of reach, confusing and even impossible. Regardless of whether you're dealing with ongoing mental health concerns, are feeling disconnected after a stressful life change, or just feel stuck, I'm here to help you start building the future you deserve. As an occupational therapist for the past ten years who has specialized in mental health I come to this space from a skills-based approach. I work with diverse families and individuals (adults and teenagers 12-17 years old) in a safe and nonjudgemental space.

Collectively, our mental health has never been a bigger priority than now. For many of us, our foundation of coping has been shaken to the core. We are trying to find ways of navigating through difficult emotions, sensations, urges, thoughts and relationship issues that may be bubbling up and overflowing on the surface. With these difficulties, we might find ourselves coping in extremes, like a swinging pendulum: either trying to over-control our situation, or, perhaps, losing control entirely. I would love to support you in resolving these difficulties, slowing down the pendulum, and hopefully finding a 'middle path'.

You feel disconnected from yourself, your values, your loved ones. You are coasting or surviving, rather than thriving. All of this may lead you to disconnect from your values and purpose. If you’re ready to get back in touch with your values and live authentically, you’re in the right place!
