I work with adults, adolescents and children to make peace with their story, address current stressors, and foster their strengths and vision for the future. I specifically love working with neurodiverse clients and their families, and I believe wholeheartedly that when we prioritize a deeper understanding of one another we can create a safe place for growth in emotional regulation skills which extends beyond the family.

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 used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.” (Emo Philips) Often our brains are wonderful! Also, wonderful brains do not stop us from having concerns or problems. Sometimes we are in the position of knowing some things, and also feeling and behaving in different ways - perhaps ways that are negative, not helpful, or destructive. The people I work with have a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, addictions, relationship issues, challenges with “getting going”, specific problem behaviours, as well as other issues.

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...

Imagine the life you desire: a life free from overwhelming distractions and constant stress. Does the piercing sound of your morning alarm fill you with dread? Are you relying on coffee, snacks, or endless social media doom scrolling to muster the energy to face each day? Consider this: embarking on a transformative journey often starts with a single, courageous step. Much like embarking on a thousand-mile journey, counselling can be your stepping stone towards a more fulfilling life. It takes immense courage to acknowledge when aspects of your life are no longer serving you, and I commend you for for being here.

Many people struggle with self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy can offer a supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I believe that through self-awareness, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of the beliefs we carry, lasting change becomes possible. Together, we can explore how past experiences may be impacting your relationships, confidence, emotional wellbeing, and sense of purpose — while helping you reconnect with your strengths and inner resilience.

If you are looking to gain a deeper satisfaction in life, and create a lasting change that will have a trickle down effect into the rest of your life I may be a great fit for you. Together we will work to overcome barriers (PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, marital/family difficulties, and existential issues) that are standing in your way of a more joyful life. I have specialized training to work with children, teens, adults and couples. I believe that through acceptance, introspection, exploration and application of these in one’s life change can begin and be long-lasting. I'd be happy to meet with you!

I see adult and adolescent clients from all sorts of different backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I feel I’m especially well-suited to working with folks who are undergoing significant life change (e.g., job insecurity, divorce, bereavement, diagnosis, etc.), and who are experiencing anger, anxiety, or depression while traversing the flux. I’m also a keen advocate of mental wellbeing within a number of specific communities, including: veterans and first responders, men (cis and trans), LGBTQ+ folks, expatriates/immigrants, entrepreneurs, and people practicing consensual non-monogamy.

Hoarding Counsellors
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
