I take a narrative approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that we are each experts in our own lives and that our identities are shaped by the stories we hold about ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences. Together, we'll explore the impact of challenges such as anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, emotional dysregulation, parenting challenges, neurodiversity (e.g., ADHD, ASD, ODD), behavioural concerns, family and relationship difficulties. I value the role of somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and connection with the natural world in supporting resilience, emotional wellbeing, and growth.

When we experience traumas or life stressors it can be not only overwhelming but also very isolating as it often feels like no one can understand what you are going through. Without having a space to explore and unpack these stressors in a meaningful way, we often turn those thoughts and feelings inwards, internalize our issues, and experience guilt and shame. This can also lead to negative interactions with our loved ones and can adversely impact our relationship with them. My focus is to help individuals grow from their struggles, heal from their pain and move forward to where they want to be in life so that they can thrive.

I pursued a career in counselling because I enjoy listening to people, seeking to understand their experiences, and helping them with their challenges. I specialize in counselling individuals who have experienced trauma, offering compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each person’s unique journey. I have experience helping clients process and heal from a range of traumatic experiences, including abuse, motor vehicle accidents, loss, and crisis situations. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples who are looking to repair or strengthen their closeness and connection.

Are you avoiding things because of anxiety or OCD? Maybe you're feeling unhappy, frustrated, or lost in your life direction? Anxiety is your body's response to a perceived threat. The feeling is unpleasant, so naturally we try to avoid anxious thoughts or feelings. Sometimes the anxious mind plans ahead and tries to control uncontrollable situations.
I have lived experience with anxiety, so I can somewhat relate to the struggles. I will help you understand the core of why things make you anxious, so you can take the power away from anxiety. I will introduce effective coping skills and help build your self confidence.

When we feel overwhelmed, trapped, powerless, or simply confused about where we are right now, what we need, why we find ourselves repeating the same patterns, or how to move forward, seeking counselling can be an important first step.
