Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or self-esteem challenges? I’ve been there, and I understand what it’s like to feel ‘stuck’. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings around these topics and find ways to get 'unstuck' so you can start living fully again. I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions and periods of change, which can often bring new challenges. Change can be both exciting and daunting, often bringing up a world of mixed emotions that leave you feeling lost.

I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, whether from the pressures of daily life, the demands of relationships, or the weight of expectations you can never quite meet. Constantly second-guessing your choices and prioritizing others' needs may have left you feeling disconnected from yourself. Maybe you're a mother navigating society’s impossible standards, a young adult juggling school and life, or someone facing a major life transition. If anxiety, depression, stress, or a sense of feeling lost are taking a toll, you're not alone.

The clients I serve in my practice are first responders, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

I am a person-centered, anti-oppressive therapist who provides individual counselling to adults looking for support with mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, stress and race-related stress, and friendship or romantic relationship difficulties.

Are you working so hard in every aspect of your life only to feel like things still aren’t good enough? Like your relationships are destined for failure, you’ll never be able to cope with the curveballs life throws at you, and there’s something inside yourself that just feels… wrong? Maybe you've convinced yourself that if it just looks like you have the perfect career, relationship, and family, that somehow it will become your reality. I’ve been down this same road, and what I eventually realized was that, when I spent all my time focused on being "better" or achieving more, I lost sight of myself and those who mattered most to me.

Facing loss, sorrow and grief can be so isolating. It can be hard to know where to turn, and often times a mainstream approach won't help. If you've faced trauma, loss, depression, grief, or struggle with your self-esteem or identity, I understand. I am sure that you want to feel deeper connections to yourself and others. You want to feel free and hopeful. You want to make meaning of loss and allow it to move you forward in a healthy way. You want to let go of traumatic responses that keep you stuck. Perhaps you're looking for healing methods that incorporate more than just talk therapy. I see you, and know that I can help you heal.

*New clients welcome!* Adulting can be hard and life can feel very dark at times. Navigating relationships, work, parenting, and day-to-day stress is enough in itself; add in childhood trauma and negative self-talk, and in time you are left feeling helpless and asking yourself, “how did I/we get here?”. You want to feel better and do better but despite your best shot you just can’t figure it out. I get it! I offer individual and couples therapy where you will have the opportunity to heal, resest, and move forward in the way you've been dreaming of.

HELLO and WELCOME: Let's spend some time focusing on your needs. I will balance listening to your experiences, thoughts, and emotions with the introduction of exercises and techniques (often somatic or compassion-based) that will shift self-critical thoughts to self-compassion, build confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, bring ease to your mind, and soothe your autonomic nervous system. As an experienced therapist, I will empower, support, and guide you as you create positive and lasting change in your life. Clients report feeling understood and hopeful after the first session.

Attachment-based Counsellors
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
