I see therapy as a safe space, where you can express your internal voice and begin to explore opportunities to cultivate a compassionate relationship with yourself and those around you. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families, and offer a free consultation. My approach is founded in transparency, genuineness, and at times – humour. As a therapist, I seek to be your companion, facilitating your internal search and exploration as we strive to help you make meaningful connections, unveil new understandings and elicit a sense of hope and trust in yourself. In my work, I am grounded in the importance of relationships.

I have spent over 10 years supporting children, adolescents, emerging adults, and parents in the area of mental health and well-being. As a registered clinical social worker, I adopt a client-centred approach utilizing various treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT skills, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and social behavioural challenges (emotional regulation, and ADHD symptoms).

Hello! I'm so happy you are here. I have the joy and privilege of walking alongside children, youth and families. As a Child and Family Therapist, my areas of expertise include anxiety, emotion regulation and processing of difficult experiences. I have a passion for issues regarding foster care, adoption and attachment. I believe in working collaboratively with parents and caregivers to empower them to be the primary agent of change in their child’s life. I work closely with parents throughout the therapeutic journey to create a safe, non-judgmental space while providing evidence-based strategies.

I am a clinical psychologist working primarily with children, adolescents, and their families. I have provided a range of psychological services to children/youth with complex mental health and/or developmental challenges in schools, community mental health agencies, and hospitals.

I work with individuals on developing their skills to better achieve their goals, and work collaboratively with others (i.e., professionals/schools) to ensure meaningful change.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience. Working with children and youth is a specialization of mine but I also love working with adults. I am currently completing trauma training in Somatic Experiencing, which explores the mind-body connected and how stress gets stored in the body. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues. I use an integrative approach which incorporates a mind-body approach and is considerate of the latest neuroscience research. I describe myself as a client-centred, relational and strengths based therapist.

COVID-19 emotional help. I work using both somatic (body) as well as talk therapies (psycho dynamic). I find this combination to be more profound than just one modality. I bring extensive experience with mental illness and trauma. Like most therapists, I have several areas of practice in which I feel distinctly equipped to work. These include anxiety, depression, recovery from interpersonal trauma/ abuse, neglect, communication issues (for e.g. bosses, friends, partners. family members) stress of everyday life, grief, couple issues, childhood attachment issues, PTSD and dissociative disorders.

Are you plagued by self-doubt and indecision? Do you have a difficult time standing up for yourself and asserting your needs? Do you feel unable to succeed when presented with an exciting opportunity? Do you feel restrained or suffocated by your personal relationships? Do you have trouble controlling your emotions? If so, I can help you break patterns of behaviour, that may have ensured your survival in the past, but no longer serve your best interests.

Are you someone who has tried talk therapy but is still feeling "stuck"? Are you looking for an experience of therapy that includes your body, spirit, mind, and helps you embody your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a nervous system informed, trauma-oriented approach that goes beyond talking and offers experiential practices that can gently reshape the survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. Somatic Therapy helps us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can experience our aliveness. This work is gentle, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassion-focused, nature-based, and decolonial approaches.

The need for connection emerges from our very core. Though we are social beings, when our core is wounded or in pain, we may instinctively attempt to protect ourselves, even from our nearest and dearest companions. Whether we’re going through a particularly challenging time in life or facing our usual day-to-day stressors, counselling can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. I work with children, youth and adults learning to: respond skillfully to emotional distress; adjust to expected and unexpected life transitions; process grief and loss; and manage parenting demands and expectations.

Hi there! I am a registered social worker, having worked in clinical research in mental health and addictions for 2 decades.

In the years following I worked primarily in large teaching hospitals, local mental health facilities, and community settings, engaging a broad range of partners, including persons living with serious mental illness, children and adolescents, survivors of trauma, the LGBTTQ2+ community and immigrant women, to name a few.
