There is more you are capable of or desire for yourself but keep getting stuck in repeat patterns of pain, doubt, and dysfunctional coping? You know there is something from your past that is holding you back and have tried everything to resolve it and nothing has worked? You long to feel whole and complete and yet continually fall into dysfunctional relationships that leave you feeling alone inside? You have needs in relationships but continually put the needs of others first? There is a part inside you that knows this way of living isn't true and longs to shine confidently as your True Self - I know cause I have been there.

Choosing a therapist can be an intimidating task. Whether you are looking for a check in, or to make major or minor changes, I would be honored to support you in your journey. I aim to be as intentional as possible in my sessions. Helping you identify your goals, gain a further understanding of the barriers you face and where they developed and make a tangible plan to get you to where you want to be. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients, with a splash of humor while we navigate your experiences and emotions.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families from all walks of life. I support individuals by identifying their unique needs, creating tailored goals, and building upon their strengths. Part of this work includes exploring all parts of ourselves (the past, present, and future) and tying them together with compassion, understanding, and respect. Awareness of our unique patterns and ourselves is the first step to creating a meaningful life. Counselling provides a safe environment in which we can explore and work towards a healthier version of ourselves.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

I work with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship challenges. I have a special interest in intergenerational trauma and supporting people who experience challenges finding the support that they need.

Therapy for those that are finally ready for a change! You’re exhausted all the time, but struggle to sleep. You try to relax but it never works and you end up snapping at family/friends. “What’s wrong with me?” you might ask yourself. "I don’t even feel like myself anymore". Dreading to go to work or see people, you isolate yourself. Everything just seems so draining! You feel inadequate, defeated, not good enough, like you can’t do anything right. Feeling lost and stuck because nothing you have tried seems to be working. There is so much at stake! You realize it is time to try something different. You've come to the right place.

Are you or a loved one struggling with mental health and addictions issues? Perhaps self harm or suicidal thoughts? Need a safe space to work through your gender & sexuality or history of trauma? A parent or an adult child fighting to be understood? I've helped thousands like you as a Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor for the past 20 years, and as a first-gen immigrant parent that understands intergenerational and systemic challenges. I'm trained in many evidence-based treatment modalities (DBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Grief & Loss) but it is my relatable approach that brings ease to clients wary of taking the first step.

Finding the right psychologist, someone you can create a meaningful working relationship with, is essential to therapy. I hope to make you feel welcome and supported while exploring challenging areas in your life to find real solutions. Everyone has the potential to live a happy, healthy life. Support from a psychologist can be the missing step toward improving mental health and meeting personal goals. I approach therapy with optimism, understanding that while difficulties and setbacks are inevitable, with the right support, everyone can develop the skills needed to navigate challenges and achieve a more fulfilling life.

Most of the clients I work with have come to realize that there is something in their life that is inhibiting their growth and happiness, and they may need some support as they prepare to make changes that will allow to find their joy. It isn't easy deciding to start therapy, but being here is an important first step. My goal is to identify how my training and knowledge can best support you in using your inherent strengths to achieve your goals of living a happier, more authentic life. I can support you in overcoming symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and dysregulation.

Accepting new clients for individual adult counselling. I have a significant history of working with trauma and substance use, and I am trained in EMDR Therapy. I take a person-centered and wholistic approach, meeting you where you are at and collaborating with you on your healing goals. I’m experienced in both abstinence based and harm reduction approaches, viewing addiction as the symptom of underlying hurt/pain that often stems from trauma. My role is to ask questions, share information, support, and provide feedback while creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for healing. www.ckps.ca
