Experience has taught me that this is the really hard part for you. You're likely feeling awful in some way. Maybe something in your life has become too much, you're feeling out of control and desperate, or you might be stuck in some way and want ideas on how to move forward. You are browsing therapist profiles and eager for the right support. What qualities and qualifications can you feel confident in? How will you know that it will work and is right for you? What if you're missing out on just the right kind of therapist that will really and truly make a difference for you. It's a lot.

20 years ago I began work in mental health as respite care. I later completed my professional goals of becoming a psychologist. Today my focus is Trauma and Addictions with youth and adults and experience with Veterans and First Responders. From the moment we are born we search for connection, love, and a sense of belonging. Growing up, in life this journey can be fraught with struggle, trauma, pain, and loss. But there is a silver lining. Amidst adversity we find courage and authenticity. We can find acceptance and the understanding of self compassion and empathy, that leads into true connection with ourselves and others.

Welcome. I serve those clients with a broad spectrum of challenges and issues, ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma and addictions as well as anger management and marital separation. I work closely with individuals, couples, groups, adolescents and adults. Many of my clients find the addition of hypnosis helpful in resolving issues related to depression, anxiety, weight management, infertility, smoking cessation and pain management. My goal as a therapist/mediator is to help you find your "balanced life". As a registered psychologist I assist my clients to find balance in their lives.

Have you experienced trauma that is negatively impacting your daily life? Are you experiencing performance anxiety, blocks, slumps, Focal Dystonia and/or want to expand performance/creativity? Do you have behaviors associated with craving, temporary relief, and long-term negative consequences that you are unable to stop? Brainspotting locates, targets, processes, and releases trauma in the brain and body, expanding performance and creativity, from the source.

My father struggled with alcoholism and I promised myself I would never follow his path. But I'd learned as a young teen and adult that substances offered an immediate escape from emotional pain and bad memories, and I did follow his path. In my early 30's I started counselling to find a way to heal from past abuse and trauma, learn healthier ways of managing my emotions, build self-esteem and enter into truly loving relationships. In recent years I expanded to work with couples. It is my pleasure today to walk with individuals and couples as they begin their own healing journeys toward happiness and fulfillment.

Throughout my 14 years working in the mental health field, I have learned that the process of therapy is as unique as the people who choose to take this brave journey into themselves. Challenges and difficulties are a reality of life, and therapy is geared toward supporting you as you address uncomfortable feelings or other Psychological needs as you move toward relief. As a non-judgemental member of your team, we will look at using the skills and strengths you already have to become more present and aware in your life. Because wellness is different for everyone, please know that no struggles are too small for therapy.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. Speaking from experience, I know asking for help and prioritizing your mental health is hard. Facing the difficult aspects of your life can be scary and it's more comfortable to stay in the same patterns that have helped you survive. If you find those patterns aren’t working for you anymore, it could be worth it to take that leap and reach out- and I'd love to take that step with you! I work with LGBTQIA+ community members and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. I am also trained to assess/diagnose and treat ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I work with individuals and couples who have come to a crossroad in their life path and are searching for ways to decide on the direction they want to go. My practice is based on the belief that inside ourselves, we hold the information we need to recognize our own best course. Counselling is useful to bring up knowledge and experience that may have been forgotten or buried in the twists and turns of life. It is my job to work with clients, using the training and techniques I have learned, to help them find the resources and confidence to plot their way to the life they choose.
