Does your teen have trouble dealing with their emotions? Do you wish that they talked to you more about what goes on in their lives? Perhaps you are a young adult with anxiety or depression. Does making life decisions around school, work, or relationships feel unmanageable at times? Teens and young adults have so much to deal with these days. Everyday stresses can include school, family, and friendships as well as issues around identity, seeking independence, and making important life choices. The added pressures of technology and social media can make it even more challenging to come of age today.

I value the the trust that a client places in me. I safeguard your vulnerability and work at your comfort level. My philosophy of treatment is the use of evidence-based and trauma-informed practices in a strength-based approach. Helping clients become empowered in their own healing, I am trained in TF-CBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Structured Intervention Trauma-Child and Adolescent (SIT-CAP). I specialize in trauma treatment, grief and loss, stress, anxiety and mood disorders. Together, we create the vision for what healing will look, feel and become in your life.

Do you often feel like your emotions are overwhelming, uncontrollable, and get in the way of your goals? Do you feel misunderstood and unable to get the support you need from those around you? Are you a caregiver who needs help coping, while finding ways to support the children in your life? Are you a teenager or parent having difficulty navigating a relationship? If so, I might be the right fit for you.

I recognize the inherent beauty in each individual's uniqueness and believe it is essential to honour it. My practice places great value on the concept of parts work, where we all parts of us are acknowledged and integrated, even the parts we have disowned or rejected. I approach each client and their parts with a curious lens, meeting them where they are. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental space, that allows one to feel comfortable being their authentic self. I firmly believe that living a life aligned with one's values can bring a sense of purpose and meaning, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve this.

Sometimes life’s challenges may leave us feeling stuck and we can use a bit of support to help navigate through them. I see my work to be like a lamp post on a dark street, I help to shine some light so you can figure out where you want to go.

Welcoming new clients in May. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself and feel seen.

Your experience of life is unique to you. Whatever your situation, my goal is to hear you and understand your experience from your perspective. I aim to create a safe place and a strong alliance so we can understand where you are now, define your goals, and how we can achieve them. With a focus on developing a confident, positive mindset, we will connect your triggers, emotions, and actions, make corrective experiences, and align your actions with your values and needs so you can thrive in your life. I primarily work with individuals and couples.

Understanding that each client brings their own unique story, struggles, and aspirations, I aim to meet you where you are. Your journey may involve navigating the complexities of family dynamics, coping with the physical and emotional changes brought on by perimenopause and menopause, grappling with the impacts of trauma, facing the challenges of addiction, or untangling the intricacies of relationship issues. These situations can often lead to feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and a yearning for a path towards healing and understanding.

Living in a fast-paced society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. I approach mental health issues as arising primarily from our needs being inadequately met by the community and world around us. So there's a disconnect between how we evolved and where we are now. I also do ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with the Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Healing.
