I have received specialized training in evidence-based trauma and grief interventions, including EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Conjoint Therapy for PTSD (CBCT for PTSD), and Prolonged Grief Treatment (PGT).
No two experiences of trauma or grief are the same. You may feel as though life will never feel right again, or that the pain you’re carrying will never ease. You might even wonder how to get through the day when you’re struggling just to breathe. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking understanding — to make sense of what has happened, to be truly heard, and to find a safe space to gently explore new ways of living. Drawing on my broad and deep professional experience, I work alongside clients like you who are searching for hope and reassurance that, in time, life can get better.

Counselling is a collaborative process of exploring the difficulties (stress, emotions, experiences) that the client brings forward in session. Counsellors promote change by helping the client to focus on the feelings, thoughts, behaviours, and experiences that are maintaining barriers to attaining goals. Counsellors are there to “do with” not “do for.” The client is the one that leads the way, while the counsellor acts as a guide or support. My goal is to help you find your voice and your path to being your favorite version of you!

For over 17 years, I’ve worked with individuals experiencing anxiety that goes beyond surface-level stress, often showing up as overthinking, chronic worry, panic, or feeling responsible for holding everything together. You may notice patterns of people-pleasing, difficulty asserting yourself, or feeling stuck in familiar relational dynamics, even when you know they are not working. Even when things appear fine externally, it can feel exhausting internally. I offer in-depth psychotherapy to help you understand the origins of these patterns, how they continue to shape your present, and how to shift them in a meaningful, lasting way.

While in my care, you feel warmth and connection. I have come to believe that the childhood and adolescent years in a person’s life go a long way to defining who they are and what they go on to do in their future. I am constantly learning about myself and seeking growth in my personal and professional life, which fuels my drive to help children and families in distress. My absolute love and adoration for children plays a big part in my decisions. I have a genuine passion for seeing the happiness within people and I believe that those who are genuinely happy with who they go on to spread authentic happiness to others.
