Sometimes life events make us feel as if we are inside a tornado or stuck in a fog. I’ve been there myself, I know how it feels. It caused me to lose touch with my true self and cross paths with anxiety & depression decades ago. Finding my way back to myself was so impactful that I left a solid career in corporate to become a Registered Counsellor. If you find yourself lost in that fog battling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or disconnected from your true self, I am here to help you clear the way so you can reclaim your true self again, mind, body & soul. :)

I work with individuals who are successful in many areas of life but struggle with anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges. Many have tried therapy before but found that just talking or gaining insight wasn’t enough. They seek a focused, effective approach that gets to the root of their issues, helping them feel more confident, capable, and fulfilled. My work is direct and goal-oriented, guiding clients toward lasting change so they can move forward with greater ease and satisfaction.

Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at. Single, coupled and everywhere in between.

Heavy emotions, self-critical thoughts, feeling "not enough," and people-pleasing patterns can keep us stuck in the same loop until we start working with them in a different way. I work best at helping clients pinpoint what keeps the loop going, and helping preferred, chosen pathways become the new baseline. I support people who are: going though anxiety or depression, healing through trauma and harmful intergenerational patterns, reclaiming self-confidence, or re-creating their sense of identity. If you want to explore how we can work together, I invite you to reach out.

Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!) I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.

Are you feeling stuck in the same unhelpful patterns? Is it getting more and more difficult to live through anxiety, depression, addiction, challenging relationships or escalated emotions? Reaching out can be hard, but it's the first step towards living a more intentional, fulfilling and joyful life.

Using concrete tools, I work with clients to build self-acceptance and resilience, while nurturing the belief that meaningful change is possible.
