Congratulations on taking such an important step towards healing and personal growth! I look forward to providing you with a safe space to collaboratively explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Together, we will explore and address the root causes of your concerns, enabling you to move towards an authentic and meaningful life. I am honoured to partner with members of LGBTQ+ and racialized communities and endeavour to understand how experiences of marginalization and oppression impact you and your loved ones. I am also passionate about supporting clients with ADHD or those who identify as neurodivergent in some capacity.

We often believe we must suffer on our own, having learned to be fiercely independent. Our suffering can show up as lack of motivation, burn-out, isolation, unhelpful habits, abuse, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, feeling stuck, or feeling like we just need to survive the day to day. We may even believe that we are meant to suffer. Perhaps we might believe that we cannot reach our potential or reach out for help, or we have forgotten who we are. When we receive the support that we need, we can all reach our full potential, regardless of what happened to us.

Do you want to heal from trauma? Are you a first responder seeking support with the challenging situations you have been exposed with? Do you want to learn to manage your depression and anxiety? Acknowledging that there is something wrong in your life, takes courage and strength and I want to commend you for taking that first step. Whether you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, depression, stress or anger management, addiction, grieving, relationship issues and cross cultural issues, I am here to help you with your journey of healing and recovery in a safe, open, and collaborative environment.

If you're looking for someone to support you as you cope with functioning, I’m a warm, straightforward, and trustworthy therapist who certainly doesn’t see herself as the expert of your life (that’s you!). I am here to meet you where you’re at and guide you on your journey, going step-by-step while offering you empathy and validation along the way. Whether you're experiencing high levels of distress, anxiety, isolation, or hopelessness, I hope to create a safe space where we can explore approachable parts of yourself, while acknowledging the difficulties present in your life.

Welcome adults and older teens who struggle to feel good enough. Do you feel disconnected from your authentic self, and like you need to please everyone else? Do you feel stuck in certain patterns of thinking or being? In a performance-driven world, our human needs for connection, identity and dignity are too often sacrificed. I invite you to engage in a therapeutic process that will center your humanity, and that will reconnect you to your emotions and your inherent wisdom. By paying attention to all the ways your body speaks to you, you can find the answers you seek. Every part of you is welcome and honoured here.

Welcome! I am a registered clinical psychologist with 10+ years of experience providing individual psychotherapy to adults who are struggling with a wide range of challenges. I have particular expertise in treating depression, anxiety and trauma-related issues. Additional areas of experience include: acculturation, ethnic/racial identity, grief and bereavement, stress, relationship issues, and life transitions. In therapy, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for you to explore your difficulties.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, anger management, self-esteem or relationship issues? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationship/dating, family role, school, job, health or some other area of your life? Do you sometimes think to yourself "my child's behaviour is out of control?" My practice services individuals, children, youth and families. Taking the first step can be difficult, we understand. If you or a loved is struggling with emotional, psychological, mental health and/or behavioural challenges, the team at Support & Growth can help. There's immediate support available.

I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Social Work Degree from the University of Victoria. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have over seven years experience providing support to individuals, couples, and families through challenging times. I have experienced a number of challenging situations and events in my own life that have helped to shape me into an empathic and caring professional. I understand that trauma can be experienced in many different ways and am committed to providing a safe, caring, non-judgmental space to support you

My goal is to help you ease your distress and transform your life so that you can feel empowered and gain peace of mind, through acceptance and self-development. Through therapy you may find the clarity and strength you need to overcome your struggles and experience growth. It is important to get to know who YOU are as a person, gain insight on suppressed issues through self-expression and emotional release, to finally reach a point of stability and peace. I welcome individuals, couples and families of all backgrounds and walks of life.

My goal is to provide unwavering support to my clients as they navigate the path to emotional well-being and self-discovery. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration, and I prioritize establishing a safe, non-judgmental, and authentic therapeutic relationship with each person. One of the cornerstones of my practice is my trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach.

You? You're probably awestruck by the beauty of this world but also heart-broken by the cruelty of some of the people in it, and enraged at the injustice. Maybe you have unimaginably intense emotions that you struggle to surf, a quick mind but difficulties connecting with others, creative impulses you can't quite express (or not as fluidly as you used to), or are in a relationship where one of you is a POC and the other isn't and you're just trying to make your crazy love work. You might be a healthcare provider needing to replenish your own well, or a therapist seeking an empowering clinical supervisor.

My heart is dedicated to supporting individuals like you in their journey towards healing and growth across Ontario virtually. My areas of focus include anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, disordered eating, and trauma. I'm deeply committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone, particularly members of the BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities. Whether your struggles surround overthinking, perfectionism, boundary setting, self-criticism, completing tasks, body image, trust issues, emotional dysregulation, managing triggers, and more - I want to be here alongside you to work towards what hope and change looks like for you.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a challenging step, especially when you've felt unable to be your authentic self. If you find yourself at a point where the weight of life's challenges feels overwhelming, or if you're navigating the complexities of identity, changes in life, relationships, or expectations, I am here to support you. My goal is to facilitate your journey of self-discovery and to empower you with insight into what brings you here.

Have others' expectations shaped how your life is? Do you feel stuck and not able to be who you want to be? Do you feel anxious or uncertain about your relationships? Do you frequently feel sad? Has a recent event created a sense of imbalance in your life? As a psychotherapist, I aim to use my own lived experiences and education to accompany you on the path to reclaiming and living the life that you want.

I specialize in therapy for men! I also work with women and people, regardless of their gender identification, sexual orientation, their ethnic and cultural background! :) Do you feel trapped? Nobody understands you? You have tried everything but nothing works? You've said it, shouted it, screamed it but no one heard you? It is difficult or impossible to say no without feeling guilty? You have been told that crying is for the weak? You've been told that something is wrong with you? I can help you work through all of this and help you become yourself again! I also offer ADHD coaching and couple's therapy (for Ontario's residents)

At different points in our lives, we may be faced with trials and tribulations that can be difficult, leave us uneasy, unhappy, anxious, depressed, or unsatisfied. As a developing psychotherapist, I aim to use my growing knowledge to aid those in the community combat these trying times. So, congratulations on taking the first step towards change. I work with individuals, families, teens (12+), and athletes dealing with trauma, reduction of stress, anxiety and accomplishing various life goals. I help clients reach a state of happiness, balance, and better health through a healthy therapeutic relationship and an integrative approach.
