We all go through challenges in our lives, but it is not talking about it that makes it so much harder. Life is like a wave; we cannot change how it breaks but how we ride it. I use a client-centred, multicultural discipline and collaborative approach (EMDR, CBT) to help individuals and couples grow and heal. I sincerely believe in the uniqueness, courage, and ability to change and grow in each individual. I believe in empowering you with the tools to find relief, clarity, and emotional growth. I believe in helping couples recognize, manage and reconcile issues that cause stress and/or disconnection in their relationship.

Parenting and managing relationships can be challenging. We are often unsure how to effectively cope with our own difficulties and support the ones we love. We struggle in our attempt to parent, overcome obstacles in our children's academic/social milieu, & in our professional/personal lives. These struggles are compounded by the presence of anxiety, depression, learning disabilities & ADHD, to name a few. Having a nurturing space to address these obstacles is important, where you can gain perspective, develop strategies to strengthen relationships, improve communication, & increase your capacity to care for yourself & loved ones.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, worry excessively, overly stressed/tired, easily irritated, struggle with emotional regulation, experience relationship difficulties, struggle with ADHD symptoms, always feeling on edge, feel lost, have a hard time making meaningful connections, difficulty adjusting to situations, struggling with a significant loss, or poor self image? And want to release your fears & anxieties, develop effective coping skills, be able to feel like your past experiences don't feel as painful, experience a less stressful life, rediscover yourself, have a much happier life and improve your overall wellbeing.
