Our most fundamental need is to be seen, heard and accepted as we are. It is no surprise that the strongest determining factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. Positive change happens when we become more like ourselves rather than trying to be something others want us to be. Our team of experienced psychotherapists are here to support individuals, couples and families with their journeys towards greater wholeness and authenticity. We work with the mind, emotions and nervous system to break unhealthy thinking patterns, unburden emotional pain and trauma, build healthy self-esteem, and find deeper meaning in life.

My experience over the years has taught me that anyone is capable of change if they want it. Life is difficult and as people we face challenges that make us feel helpless or broken.

I want to be a support to anyone facing these dilemmas by giving you a voice and providing the opportunity to be heard. My goal is to improve the lives of clients by enhancing their social and emotional growth and providing solutions to enhance their mental health and well-being.

I am a registered social worker with over 15 years of work experience. I have helped people who experience issues such as: depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, trauma, anger, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, grief, and family conflict. My journey into social work began at age 14, when I lost my father to cancer. Because there were few supports available at the time, I felt alone and stuck. This prompted me to dedicate my life to assisting others during difficult times, and help them realize they are not alone.

Life can be unpredictable and complex, which makes us feel stuck in the spot that we are standing on. We may be able to cope momentarily, but realize that we are cycling through the same patterns unable to find solid ground. This can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and lonely. One of the first steps you can take from where you are standing is the ability to reach out for support through therapy. In this space, you can begin the process toward greater healing and freedom, turning your hopeless end into endless hope. While our past and circumstances have influenced our present, it does not have to dictate our future.

At different times in our lives, we are handed challenges, and are faced with adversity. In these situations, we may feel like we need some support; someone wise and compassionate who can provide the opportunity to be heard, and the necessary guidance to move forward.

As my teacher would say: "Our stories might vary but in the realm of feelings, there is no discrimination." We feel things, and we go through ups and downs. Sometimes, we need each other to stand tall in the midst of chaos by being received, heard, and understood – and other times by exploring the root cause of our pain. I’m a strong believer of a human’s capacity for resiliency and growth, therefore our work will be a mixture of support and opportunities for deep self exploration and improvement of your life.

I have found in my work that so many of my clients have a strong desire and need for change at the core of who they are. Many people look for positive changes, which is often through their own life experience, though still find themselves feeling unfulfilled or noticing similar repetitive, unhealthy and destructive patterns showing up. By working on your self-awareness, the relationship with yourself, and your experiences in life, you will feel more confident and prepared, you then managing situations in different areas of your life in a more effective and assertive way, enhancing the respect and love you have for yourself.
