You’re dealing with a lot; feeling guilty and confused. Guilty for not loving more or trying harder. They’re telling you these things - it must be true, right? They were charismatic and charming, showering you with PDA and compliments, but it all changed. You’re embarrassing they say, and now you feel trapped and broken. You’re not alone. It's not your fault. You Google “abusive relationships” and read about narcissistic abuse. That’s your life! You need guidance. I know this because I needed it too. I chased “good enough” trying to “behave well” for my family. After college, I married and divorced a narcissist who always blamed me.

Life can be a rollercoaster with many ups and downs, especially regarding life changes such as separation and divorce. With these changes come various emotions, such as anger, sadness, frustration, irritability and lack of motivation. I help navigate the world of separation and divorce to support families and children who may be in high conflict or stressful situations and who may be managing multiple systems such as child welfare and family court. I have 25 years of experience as a social worker with significant experience in assessment, treatment, and crisis intervention.

Sometimes life can throw us for a loop; it can feel like chaos and challenging to manage. Doing the best with what you have, but maybe that doesn't feel like enough. Carrying around the weight of problems can be exhausting. It can impact relationships, work performance, school, and parenting or simply make it difficult to find enjoyment in the simple things. I can help with many challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, feeling stuck, facing relationship problems, high-conflict divorce, separation, or even processing a new family structure.

Life is a journey with ups and downs. We all face challenges, and sometimes they leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. In the hard times it can be hard to ask for help. If you’re reading this you’re already moving forward, looking for someone to help you. Finding the right therapist is important. Look for someone who gets you, and what you are going through. If any of this resonates with you, I will be honoured to meet you. I offer free consults so that you can sit down with me and get to know me a little before deciding if you want to carry on seeing me.

The act of self exploration is a deeply personal and unique experience that should look and feel different to each individual. In my work, I aim to meet everyone where they are, and show up as I am. Beyond all else, I value offering clients the opportunity to show up as themselves, and to be seen and heard without judgement. I believe that something really magical and powerful comes out of combining the minds and experiences of two people, and that the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance.

Life has gotten harder for a lot of us in the past few years. Traumatic experiences are difficult to process and cope with, which can impact every part of our lives. If you are struggling in your relationships, going through a difficult life transition, are experiencing anxiety and feeling drained, I am here to help. I will work with you to put things into perspective, cope with grief and loss, and process traumatic experiences.

Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery I became dedicated and sincerely passionate about the importance of mental and emotional health. I create a safe space for my clients to explore their inner world of thoughts, beliefs and emotions to uncover the blocks that are preventing them from achieving the healthy balanced life they deserve.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, sad or frustrated ? Is this impacting your day to day life and/or affecting your relationships? If you struggle with any of these emotions and don't know know where to turn, I can help! I offer a custom approach for each of my clients! I want to understand where you are now and the challenges impacting your ability to feel your best and be happy. I offer a safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule so that you can begin your journey to healing.

Each person's experience in life and approach to healing is unique. Providing a personalized, non-judgmental and supportive space, together, we will find the solutions and resources needed to achieve your goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life, or simply feeling stuck, from a trauma-informed and culturally aware space with evidence-based techniques, we find your way forward, helping you through, no matter the life circumstances and challenges. My passion is supporting others to learn how to survive and thrive despite what life may bring!

Collectively, we have just experienced some of the most challenging times of our lives, and continuing. My framework is holistic in nature and offered virtually at this time. My focus has shifted to include techniques such as Emotional Freedom Tapping, body awareness modalities, breathing techniques, talk therapy, visualization, and other creative coping tools that can be self applied outside of session safely. These tools can be used to help manage de-regulation, nervous system overload, to gain clarity, and to act as a more gentle introductory towards the path of healing especially for those that have never sought therapy before.

Is there a part of you that feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Do you find yourself battling with a harsh inner critic? If so, you are not alone. An internal conflict within us can often leave us feeling drained and defeated. Many people approach these parts of themselves with judgment and criticism, not knowing that these parts have helped them survive. When trauma happens, we respond to the past rather than the present moment. My goal is to help you heal from the past and restore a sense of calm and clarity within yourself.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.

Partnership is at the heart of my work. I believe through collaboration and compassion, clients have the opportunity to partake in a therapeutic process where they feel safe and empowered to make the changes they are hoping to see. My aim in our work together is to support you in healing, while we work together to develop coping strategies to navigate current and future stressors. I practice from a culturally sensitive perspective, honoring the diversity of my clients and their experiences.

Life is difficult! But it is important to know that you don’t have to do it alone. From personal experience, I know how a non-judgmental, safe, & empowering space can allow for self-exploration & personal growth. My goal is to be aware of your individual needs & put your well-being first. I utilize a client-centred approach that integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, & solution focused therapy to collaborate with clients on their desired goals & outcomes of our sessions.
