Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

I was lucky to find my passion for social work early in life, coming from a family of social workers who specialized in marginalized youth. I decided early on that I too wanted to pursue a career that made a positive impact on the world and helped people to overcome their struggles and create a meaningful and empowered future. Overcoming my own personal struggles solidified my desire and passion for social work. I consider it a privilege to work with others coping with similar difficulties in their lives, and guiding them in their journey of overcoming their own struggles.

Most of my clients are men (20's-40's) who are intelligent, self-reflective, and successful, but who still somehow feel that something’s missing, or that they haven’t "grown up" in some key way. They are often experiencing some combination of anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, career issues, or relationship problems. I try to create a non-judgmental space for them to feel seen, heard and understood. It’s important for men to share their struggles, fears and shames with other caring and supportive men. This goes against a lot of our cultural conditioning but it helps us to feel that we’re not alone and that we’re actually okay.

As we live in a generation where young people continue to face complex challenges and increased barriers to leading fulfilling lives, my practice focuses on supporting you through experiences of anxiety, ADHD, depression, family conflict, childhood trauma, career-related stress and/or relationship concerns. Finding someone you trust and feel comfortable expressing yourself to can help you better understand your emotions and process through them. As a professional, my aim is to empower you in understanding your personal values, promote self-confidence and foster personal growth in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate space.

Welcome to Ascend Counselling & Wellness. I am a Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience as a therapist . I count it a privilege and honor to come alongside others on their personal life journeys. Life can be hard and you don’t need to do it alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety and worry, stress, burnout, self esteem, depression, relationships, career decisions, or navigating life stressors- it takes bravery & courage to embark on the therapeutic journey. I am here to hold space and journey alongside you through personal healing, growth and transformation.

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed as you navigate relationships, career, and high self-expectations, you may find clarity and relief in therapy. In my practice, I employ an approach that focuses on helping you nurture your own ability to work through difficult situations and achieve a greater state of emotional wellbeing. Working toward meaningful change takes time, honesty with oneself, and a little bit of courage - it isn’t always easy to open up to somebody! My goal is to ensure that you always feel comfortable to express yourself and explore your concerns as we work toward empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or shameful. Whether you can't stop thinking about something, never feel good enough, or constantly compare yourself to others, I am here to help. If you are navigating dissociation or flashbacks, struggling with forming your identity or developing meaning in life, I can provide DBT & Trauma informed therapy. Or maybe you're looking for support with leaving a toxic job or relationship, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, or struggle with focusing and completing a task. Understanding our unconscious motivations and defence mechanisms can also be revealing character work.

I am passionate about helping individuals reach emotional and mental wellness.
