Holistically, I use several approaches through a lens that often incorporates physical health like weight loss, as well as mental and emotional struggles.
I'm passionate about helping my clients achieve weight loss, health, and overall emotional wellness goals. Building self-awareness is key to overcoming difficulties that are associated with this kind of journey. Weight, anxiety, depression/low mood, stress and overwhelm are often interconnected, and sometimes clients come to me just feeling stuck, unmotivated and unsure of how to move forward. Together we work to uncover the reasons behind these challenges. One of the most important aspects is for me to build a trusting relationship so my clients feel safe, accepted, and comfortable opening up about whatever is on their minds.

Life can sometimes darken our hearts and make things feel difficult or even hopeless, as if there is no way out. You may battle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism or low self-worth while a strong inner critic berates you every step of the way. Perhaps you feel pulled in different directions, while feeling as though you are losing control over your life - at a loss to know where to start in order to break the negative cycles you find yourself trapped in. Amidst all this, relationships may suffer, not only with others, but also with yourself as you strive to find who you really are amongst all the chatter and chaos of your mind.

Mental health is of key importance in our lives, when someone realizes this and wants to work towards improving their own: half of the heavy lifting is done. I am here to help with the other half, until you can do it all and more on your own. Sometimes, we just need a little support, someone to hear us and give us perspective; to encourage us as we face the challenges in our lives. An interesting life has many challenges for us to grow as we deal with them: we endure, we persist, we overcome and we celebrate.

Life is inherently complex and challenging. Sometimes these challenges feel overwhelming and this is where psychology can help. In an environment of understanding and acceptance, psychologists can help you better identify those strengths that have served you well in the past, while at the same time assist you in learning new ways of solving problems and coping with life's difficulties.

The human experience can sometimes provide challenges along the way and it's natural to feel a little stuck or disconnected at times. We might come across feelings of shame, frustration, overwhelm or loneliness with what life has thrown at us and we don’t know where to turn. Through genuine warmth, compassion & presence, I try to cultivate a soft landing place for my clients so they don’t have to struggle with life’s circumstances on their own. While I touch on neuroscience and change, I also use a holistic, trauma-informed, collaborative approach where I welcome all diverse parts of my clients to be witnessed in the light with me.

I consult with adults who are successful in many ways, but feel unsatisfied with some aspect of their life. They choose to participate in therapy because they want to feel better, cope more effectively, improve their relationships and their overall quality of life. While the circumstances that lead someone to make an appointment varies, there are a number of symptoms that many people identify with, including: • Anxiety • Low mood • Feeling bad about yourself • Relationships are frustrating and disappointing. • Feeling caught in past traumatic or upsetting experiences • Struggling with ineffective coping.

My work is relational, emotion-focused, and experiential. Relational means establishing a unique and real connection with people — i.e. not being a “blank slate” therapist. Emotion-focused means helping people pay attention to old emotional patterns that may no longer be serving them. Experiential means going beyond just talking about patterns. It means offering actual in-session experiences of doing things a different way — working together to form new and preferred patterns that are conducive to one’s therapy goal(s).
