Chronic pain, illness, or injury can feel like you’re a prisoner in your own body. Once easy activities are now torturous or impossible and you’re in constant discomfort or even agony. Your loved ones mean well but they just don’t get it and you feel increasingly isolated. It’s as if you’ve been robbed of your present life and, uncertain of how long this will last, you wonder if your future will be stolen as well. You’re distressed and desperate, frustrated and furious, helpless and hopeless. You’re suffering physically… but you don’t have to suffer mentally, too.

Having worked in many different fields of Psychotherapy for over 10 years, I’ve developed an appreciation for holistic approaches to well-being. Events from our past can lead to us carrying patterns and anxieties that hold us back, affecting our perception and experience of what’s happening. My goal is to help you get unstuck by gaining new insights, developing new coping skills, and to ultimately build resilience. Having had opportunities to teach Psychotherapy, and provide mentorship, my appreciation for this work is renewed hourly. I have completed extensive trainings and blend modalities to deliver tailored care to my clients.

I focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and career-related issues. My approach begins with compassionately and patiently understanding your lived experience. Together, we will apply evidence-based strategies, empathetic feedback, and practical coping skills to create change and build lasting resilience. We begin with a brief no-cost phone consult. It's best to book the initial phone consult by email or on our website. We will respond quickly to email or website inquiries.

Our team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers have extensive training to integrate multiple approaches to help you get unstuck and heal by gaining new insights, processing painful feelings, developing new coping skills, and to ultimately build resilience. Past events can affect our experience of the present and what we can imagine for our future. We're here to help you work through the things that are holding you back. Serving all of Ontario virtually, with flexible appointments available, we’re here to help.

Is life more than you can handle right now? Are you feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and alone with no one to talk to? Or are you doing ok but want to take your life to the next level? Too often, as adult men and women of all ages and stages in life, we are told we need to be strong, face challenges, or manage significant change on our own. That’s simply not true. You don’t have to do it alone. I can help.
