Honoring your intuitive wisdom, I seek to empower you in reclaiming your wellness. Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

Weaving through your strengths and resources, I bring in my lived experience as someone who has had to re-start a few things in life. I believe it is never too late to embark on a journey to achieve better health. I studied, worked and lived in 4 different continents: Africa, Europe, Asia and North America and I'm passionate about walking alongside families, youths, seniors and individuals from diverse backgrounds on their journey to whole health as they harness their internal and external resources to get to optimum mental health. As a Christian, my approach to work is based on Amos 3:3- “Can two walk together unless they agree?”

Is it time to get some help with making a change in your life? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns despite trying your best to do something different? My goal is to support and help people to become their best selves, whether it be to increase self-esteem, work through trauma issues from your past, or address your struggles with a bad habit or addiction. I have 15+ years of experience in working in addictions and working with people in various stages of readiness. I also support family members who have a loved one struggling with an addiction with a focus on finding hope and strength in this difficult situation.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist that has a clinical background training in Emotional Disorders (e.g., Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, and Anxiety), Sleep Disturbances, Chronic Pain and Couple Distress. Additionally, I concentrated in Child Psychology where I helped adolescents overcome childhood traumas and developmental issues.

You want a LIFE more worth LIVING! Lets create that together! At all times, we are always doing the best we can with what we have: the knowledge, skills, experience and the information we posses in the moment. But, we often judge our "past" selves (and others in our past) from where we are at "today". This can create problems. With guidance, we can learn how our own (and others) past decisions, actions and experiences can create problems for us today. With understanding, we can learn to live more effectively! I invite you to join me for this journey!!

I do not believe in pathologizing one due to their diagnoses, symptoms, or problems. As such, I offer a no commitment discussion to explore if I am someone who could appropriately support you. The most beneficial counselling/therapy is built off of a trusting and secure relationship. I am incredibly passionate about the counselling/therapy process and feel honoured when individuals choose me to walk alongside them in their healing journey. Deciding to reach out is not an easy step but it is the first step - I am proud that you are here. I am committed to inclusivity and being an ally and providing support to LGBTQ2+ individuals.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

I believe that therapy should be sometimes fun, sometimes uncomfortable, and always rewarding. I adapt my therapy approach to your specific needs, with a focus on making sure that you feel the payoff for your hard work. Maybe you feel like you're not in control of your emotions, or you're unable to explore more meaningful parts of your life because of fear or past experiences. We can work towards acceptance and building a sense of control. If you're looking to make sense of your experiences and better understand yourself, all while working on feeling better in the process, I can support you along the way.

A crucial part of being human is gaining awareness of one’s issues to bring healing, change, and growth. My vision is to join you in your journey to self-discovery and healing as you realize your strength and resilience to develop positive and effective long-term change. I look forward to working with individuals, couples, and families impacted by trauma, resulting in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and emotional regulation disorders.

Life isn't always easy and it doesn't always give us what we expect. We can find ourselves consumed with worry and spiraling thoughts or feeling so low and unmotivated, even getting out of bed seems tough. We can reel from the mental load and exhaustion that comes with chronic pain or chronic illness and feel overwhelmed or burdened with grief and loss or life transitions. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes struggle to meet our goals. Things might feel hopeless - like they'll never get better. But you don't have to travel these roads alone.

I provide a safe and collaborative environment that fosters exploring change and growth. My style is warm, supportive and nurturing. I strive to treat all of my clients with unconditional acceptance and compassion. I hope we as a team together will be active in pursuing your personal goals for therapy.
