Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals. Therapy can help relieve anxiety that stops you from enjoying everyday activities, assist you in overcoming past challenges and traumas, and introduce strategies so you can relate better to individuals in the present. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

As your therapist, I will cultivate a safe space for you in deeply unhappy, uncomfortable, or unfulfilled moments, to process all that challenges you. Together, we will navigate new ways for you to be able to thrive in your own resilience, creativity, and resourcefulness. We will be co-collaborators in your healing process, and I will maintain a flexible response to your changing needs. I believe that when you feel safe, heard, and at ease within an empathetic and understanding environment, you will be able to unburden your past suffering, and explore coping methods that work best for your present struggles.

Establishing therapeutic alliance with my clients is the foundation of my psychotherapy work. I am a strong advocate for cultural competency, and also believe that clients, although experiencing some challenges, are experts in their own lives and are seeking some support and guidance through therapy. Furthermore, I support my clients in exploring issues such as emotional difficulties, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, and family conflict. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to explore solutions and coping strategies to overcome these barriers.

As we journey through life, unfair things happen. The associated thoughts, feelings and people can stay with us as painful memories, create a sense of burden and influence our future expectations. While we can't change the past, it is under our control to change the way we look at what happened. As challenging events and relationships unfold, we can control how we respond. We do this by becoming more aware of automatic negative reactions and replacing them with healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is possible for you to obtain a new lease on life and to embrace a future filled with things that have seemed out of reach.

The stress of COVID-19 has negatively impacted people’s mental health, while also leaving them in an economic situation where they cannot afford counselling at full prices. We believe that this unique time requires counsellors to give their services at prices which more people can afford. If the stress of COVID-19 has affected your mental health, we have professional counsellors that can work with you.

I have firsthand experience of what it’s like to be in unhealthy relationships and struggle with overwhelming thoughts and feelings. When we don’t feel comfortable to express our emotions and don’t feel safe enough to experience the kind of intimacy we desire, it creates stress, anxiety, anger, and depression, which can lead to issues in our friendships and at work. I have spent nearly a decade seeking out knowledge and understanding about love and relationships. This has led to a deep desire to support others who also long to leave behind their toxic relationships and experience love, safety, connection, and intimacy.

I like to help people with a wide variety of issues through psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a process of healing problems and creating greater self-awareness and insight in an individual in a confidential and safe environment and helping them initiate a more effective change within themselves. I have a wide range of experience with training in Short-Term Dynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. I believe psychotherapy can lead to better and healthier relationships with yourself and with others around you, at home, with family, friends or at the workplace.

I am a psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience providing therapy and counselling for individuals and couples. I work with adults experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, and other problems in living. I am trained and experienced in a variety of therapeutic approaches, and have extensive experience with a wide range of problems. My approach to therapy is tailored to the individual client/couple, and varies according to problem, personality, available resources, and personal goals. I also offer consultation, assessments and treatment for psychological problems related to automobile accidents, workplace injuries, or inability to work.

Welcome. Working with a therapist provides the opportunity to explore the things that truly matter to you. Through uncovering the stumbling blocks and triggers that prevent you from being the best version of yourself, we will collaborate together to create self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance - while determining new avenues to accomplish tangible goals that align with your values. Giving consideration to the 'whole' you is an integral part of the therapeutic process – including those aspects that are painful and deeply imbedded, as well as your strengths, resources and aspirations.

Are you feeling lost? Isolated? A deepened sadness that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change it? Do you carry the weight of worry? Or struggle with loss? How about searching for meaning or a new direction in your life? If this resonates with you, therapy might be worth exploring! Choosing to begin therapy can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be when you have someone walking alongside of you on this road. My focus is to help individuals, couples, and families heal, focus on strengths, and work side by side to redefine their path and journey.

**Please note I am not currently accepting new clients.** Are you someone who has invested heavily into the lives of others, and now is the time for you to re-group? I have the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients from all walks of life, such as students, parents, professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes. Each at different stages of their personal growth.
