There are probably many reasons as to why you arrived on this page. I am guessing that it may have something to do with you looking for some answers, direction, relief, peace, clarity, or perhaps to be reassured that you are “okay” and not going “crazy”. Am I on the right track? My aim is to walk by your side, providing a safe non-judgmental environment, so that you can begin exploring and making links between where you are stuck and where you want to be in your life. I believe that you are doing the best that you can in this moment with what you have. Can you do better? Sure, I believe we all can and that is where I can help you.

I have extensive experience treating people struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, anger management, relationship issues and addictions. Psychotherapy can help you to improve your mood and learn how to challenge your unhelpful ways of thinking. You can learn healthy coping tools and relaxation techniques. It can help you to improve quality of your life, learn how to manage stressful situations and painful feelings. You can learn about yourself, your personality, inner conflicts and ways to resolve them.

It's hard when you feel like you don't understand what is wrong with your loved one, and all you want to do is help. Perhaps more often than not, you struggle and/or feel frustrated and can't communicate without you and/or the other person becoming upset, and it feels hopeless trying to figure out how to fix the problem. During such difficult times, know that you're not alone, that your feelings are valid, and there is hope for things to change for the better.

Depression and Anxiety as a result of stress are common issues in the contemporary world. I know it because I have a nine-year work experience in counselling and psychotherapy. I work with a wide range of issues, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, divorce, relationship crisis, communication troubles​, low self-esteem, problems of adaptation and grief.

As a therapist, I most frequently encounter clients that express a version of "I know what to do, but I just can't seem to do it." You may find this familiar too. Whether you are disoriented by a crisis,experiencing family issues, considering leaving a relationship, or going through any transition, some degree of reservation, anxiety, and self-doubt is natural. But if these feelings keep you from moving forward, ignoring them will not make them leave; thus, it is vital to your wellbeing to acknowledge your anxieties, identify their roots, and take decisive actions to overcome them.

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.

Emotional issues of life events can preoccupy us or leave us feeling anxious, confused, angry or depressed.

My therapeutic approach is to assist others through life's challenges with compassion and non judgment, using a balance of both support and challenge. Life's circumstances can often leave us feeling lost, confused and stuck. We may suffer from anxiety and/or depression. We may feel stress, overwhelm and exhaustion. We may experience our emotions more intensely. These are just a few of many symptoms we can face in our lifetime. My hope is to create a safe space to help you raise self awareness, and offer healthy strategies, allowing you to live a balanced and wholesome life.

Life is full of unexpected bumps in the road. We are not all prepared to manage the stress, anxiety and challenges that we are confronted with along the way. I truly admire anyone whom is willing and open to learn, grow and understand how to move forward living their best life. An extremely powerful tool to help process your life challenges is to have the opportunity to communicate. I am trained in Trauma, Cognitive Behavioural and Solution Focused therapy.

I believe that each one of us is the sum of all the journeys we have taken and all the people we have met along the way. We navigate peaks and valleys, traveling up or downstream. At different junctures in our lives, we find ourselves in an ‘in-between’ not knowing which path to take. It is through my own journey and the ones I have taken with others that I have come to bear witness to the strength, courage, and wisdom we each have within us. In my work with individuals, couples, children and youth, I explore challenges, crisis, loss and struggle within the context of one’s interpersonal relationships.
