Therapists in T0L

Notice: I am only accepting new clients with daytime availability (before 3pm). I work with children (ages 10 and up), youth and adults to build healthy coping skills and relationships within themselves and with others. My approach to counselling is to create a safe and collaborative environment for clients to feel supported, regardless of what they may be facing. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and as such, my role in sessions is to facilitate and support clients in developing deeper self-awareness and expanding coping skills to help them regulate their bodies.

Seeking and accepting help are the first steps in managing your mental health, and I know how hard these first steps can be. My goal is to create a warm and inviting safe space to assist you with these steps, whether this be your first, or continued experience In counselling. All emotions and experiences deserve validation, and I aim to be the empathetic and non judgmental buffer to help navigate the difficult situations life throws at us.

At the First Step to Freedom, we work together to re-wire and re-educate your mind so you can live your best life. Teaching you tools and techniques to help you manage every day events so you have the power and autonomy to feel how you want to feel every day.

Hello & Thanks for taking time to view my profile. I find clients are quite aware of how unhappy they are & the impact on their lives, but they don’t know how to fix it. Since 2005, I have worked alongside courageous clients to eliminate distress & make lasting remarkable change. I avidly believe most Mental Health concerns are NOT problems you are stuck with and change is achievable. I work with older adolescents and adults who want treatment for Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Binge Eating and Complex Health & Weight Concerns.

Evening and weekend appointments available in person or virtual. I hold a deep seeded belief that we each are doing the very best that we can in any given moment. I believe no one is exempt from struggle and at times it is difficult to know how we got to this painful place, and at other times an event (trauma) takes place which can leave us not recognizing ourselves or our life. I offer a safe validating space to heal and rediscover how you want to show up in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or wanting support in any area of your life, please reach out to me. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
