"Does the weight of your worry continue to grow and leave you feeling exhausted? Are you trying hard to fit in, but usually end up feeling excluded, unhappy, and anxious? Or perhaps you're noticing that your child is finding it hard to connect with others?

"I am an experienced therapist with 30 years of practise to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship."

I have worked in 3 countries and specialize in loss, trauma, parenting and transitions."

"I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond."

"Let's face it, sometimes life get complicated. It comes with many stressors and challenges. In these moments it becomes easy to get trapped in negative self-talk cycles, bouts of low mood, high levels of anxiety or stress and an uncertainty of what do next. As a psychotherapist I aim to work with you to develop skills and resources to combat the stressors that you are experiencing in life. I acknowledge that every person is a unique and complex human being and as a result I welcome you, as you are in order to help you become the person that you want to be."

"My clients are from diverse backgrounds who have experienced traumatic events that are adversely impacting their personal sense of who they are, their relationships, both personal and professional. The clients are seeking to make sense of their lived experiences and recover their agency and power to live a wholesome life with dignity and respect. My clients usually have a history of intergenerational violence and come to therapy for resolving issues such as historic and current sexual violence, intimate relational violence, trafficking, trauma related to war and conflict, workplace violence, discrimination and harassment. "

"In my 10 years of social work practice I have helped people move through periods of change in their lives. I have learned that all life transitions, be they joyful or deeply painful, come with varying degrees of emotions. Some of us are able to work through these emotions on our own, while others need a helping hand. My role is to guide you, by working together, to find the tools to cope with and overcome life’s challenges. I believe that seeking help is a recognition of your strengths and self-awareness. Whether you are overwhelmed as a new mom, grieving a loss, or feeling anxious about your job, you shouldn't have to do it alone. "

"Sometimes, you get the sense that it’s so much easier to make everyone else happy, rather than make yourself happy. Even though you give a lot for others, you still have nagging thoughts that you didn’t do enough, or you did something wrong. You find it difficult to say "no," and worry about being judged. You end up putting yourself last. You feel tired and stuck, wanting more for your life. But not anymore. You’re ready to lead with courage, and find a balance."
