The joys we experience in our day-to-day lives can be derailed when we become overwhelmed and confused by what we are feeling and what to do with those feelings. To experience peace, develop meaningful connections, and maintain a sense of contentment, it is necessary that we learn to identify what might be negatively impacting us and approach it with curiosity. The ideal future you envision for yourself is within reach when it is pursued in a safe and non-judgmental environment with a person you can trust. I take a holistic approach that views all symptoms, physical and emotional, as our body and mind’s way of communicating with us.

We understand how messy, intimidating, and overwhelming therapy can be. We strive to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space in our virtual sessions where you can enjoy the comforts of your own home. We have therapists who are able to address those pesky negative thoughts and who are able to pick a therapeutic approach based on your needs and goals. We want to encourage continued learning outside the counselling space by giving you the tools you need to do so. Client care and advocacy are important; if we don’t have the right tools you need, we won’t stop searching until we do!

Are you tired of trying to manage your anxiety and/or depression on your own and are ready to get some support and healing? Perhaps you are seeking support with navigating decision-making in your relationship or want to heal from past trauma? I am passionate about creating authentic connection and a safe and non-judgemental space for you - a place where your uniqueness will be honoured and celebrated, and your story can be fully heard. Counselling should absolutely be a space where you can fully be yourself! We'll work together as a team to build skills to improve your mental wellness and nurture or change your close relationships.

We all deserve to experience life to the fullest and to enjoy rewarding relationships and happiness. Sometimes, our past or current experiences interfere with this and it can be very helpful to speak with a professional to help you overcome obstacles and enhance your well-being. My work with you will be one of empowerment, helping you to master your own individual healing and personal development. I will support you in healing your past, coping with the present, and envisioning a desirable and rewarding future in all aspects of your life.

Are you craving a life you don't need a vacation from? We don't exist in isolation. Daily, we navigate relationships, careers, finances, parenting an anxious child or a struggling teen, aging, significant life transitions, celebrations, successes, and sometimes huge losses. You may have lost a job, partner, loved one, or the ability to function in ways you used to function so easily. You are used to recovering quickly or knowing how to best provide support, and yet find yourself at a loss, anxious, overwhelmed or discouraged. It's all part of being human. Though sometimes it feels like more than we can take.

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.
