Each person’s experiences can only be witnessed and felt from their own perspective. I recognize that every person has an innate human need to be heard, witnessed, respected, and honored in those experiences. The focus of my practice is to honor every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without interpreting them. My goal is to find the deepest meanings to their experiences. I want to help them heal from those experiences and help them to integrate them into becoming empowered to live their fullest lives.

I often use a combination of cognitive behaviour therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy when addressing negative beliefs about the self that are resulting in problematic and chronic relationship issues, social anxiety and depression.
I have a passion for working with individuals who are struggling to stay on top of their emotional responses. This can be due to so many factors from the state of our world, the result of high anxiety, an overactive stress response, trauma and post traumatic stress disorder, conflict in relationships, or burnout. We all experience times when our usual coping strategies are no longer enough and we are in distress. Our relationships suffer, our work suffers and our families suffer.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Many people carry wounds that others cannot see. Trauma, domestic violence, repeated stress, and painful relationship experiences can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you hoped for. I work with individuals navigating the effects of trauma, including first responders and others who have faced repeated exposure to difficult events. Together, we focus on developing practical tools to calm the nervous system, manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and rebuild a sense of stability, meaning, and direction.

Currently on maternity leave.
Our feelings, thoughts, and relationships can be messy. Sometimes, it all feels like it’s just too much. I know what that’s like. I also know it’s a little bit easier when, instead of turning away, someone chooses to sit with you in those moments and says: "This isn’t too much. You’re not (insert terrible thing you fear is true about you). You don’t have to hold this alone.” I believe that’s my job as a therapist – to sit with you in the midst of all that messiness and help you hold the painful and overwhelming parts. From there, we can work together to untangle it and move towards your goals.

I use a Holistic approach using a range of proven techniques including CBT, Breathwork, BodyTalk, EFT and Spinal Flow, tailoring each session to your needs.
Are you ready to take the first step toward healing and growth?
Life can be overwhelming especially when faced with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma or life's many challenges. You are not alone I am here to offer you a safe compassionate space to begin your journey towards wellness.

How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
