Do you ever wonder who you're supposed to be? Maybe you're balancing your own needs against the expectations of family, culture, relationships, or career, feeling anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, always the one holding everything together. Perhaps you're learning to set boundaries without guilt, working through experiences that still feel heavy, or finding yourself after a major life transition. You don't need the right words or a clear starting point. Therapy doesn't require you to have it all figured out; this is a space to show up exactly as you are.

Do you often wake up feeling exhausted, even though you “should” feel grateful — only to have the storm of worry, self-doubt, stress, or regret return before you’ve even had your coffee? Maybe you’re juggling high expectations at work, trying to do your best for your family or your partner, or carrying the weight of past trauma — but it all leaves you drained, disconnected from yourself, and doubting if “this” is all life has to offer. I’m here to help you find relief, clarity, and a way back to yourself.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Please contact me for a free 20 minute consult. So many people struggle with their concerns alone, whether they are in fact experiencing isolation or whether they are surrounded by other people. Some worry they might burden others, some fear what others might think, and some struggle to believe they are worthy or deserving of support. As a counsellor and social worker, I firmly believe we all need substantial supports in our lives. Whether the issues you're facing feel small or insurmountable, I strive to offer a space where you can share your experiences without feeling judged or ashamed.

To truly understand and identify the intricate patterns in our thoughts and behaviors, we must move beyond the confines of diagnostic labels. These labels can obscure the richness of the human experience. By embracing a high degree of curiosity, intrigue, and empathy, we can together challenge these limitations and uncover the hidden and often uncomfortable truths that lie just beneath the surface, causing us distress.

The following are the Extended Health Coverage that are currently on my list: Alberta Blue Cross, Claim Secure, Equitable Life of Canada, Green Shield Canada, iA Financial Group, Manitoba Blue Cross, Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life and Victor Insurance
You're capable & responsible, the one people rely on. On the outside, things look steady, even successful. Internally, there is a constant pressure to keep going, keep performing, and keep everything from falling apart. This pressure shows up as anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, or tension in your relationships. You may find it difficult to switch off, slow down, or even identify what you need anymore.
I work with individuals and couples who are thoughtful, high-functioning, and carrying more than they share. You are a professional, a caregiver, and a driven individual navigating stress, life transitions, and relationships.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung The overwhelm of stress, anxiety or depression can often leave us disconnected from our lives and have us operating on autopilot. Somatic Therapy helps us to see our conditioning and allows us to become unstuck and create something fresh.

1-1 counselling services (in-person & online) for adults and youth experiencing mental health concerns, challenges with past or current behaviours, relationships, or other life transitions and changes (ex. self, family, work, career/school).

Our past experiences impact us in ways we may not even realize. Our nervous system jumps in to protect us in ways that it has helped us survive in the past (this could look like feeling foggy, anxious, depressed or numb). This often prevents us from operating how we wish to. Working to reconnect the body with the mind to our present, adult self can help resolve this disconnection. I believe that we all deserve to experience connection, empathy, attunement and safety and that this is often the missing piece.
