I am a registered social worker with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, children/teens and their families. Whether you have a child who is struggling, are dealing with difficult family relationships, require support in your role as a parent or if you yourself are struggling with emotions such as sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, anger, irritability or are going through a challenging transition period in your life, I can help.

Hello, I am glad you're here. I hope that you find what you’re looking for and, if you feel comfortable, perhaps I can lend you a helping hand along the way. I believe that nurturing a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and the contexts that we live in; recognizing the parts that we can and cannot change; and grieving what we should have received but didn't, can allow us more meaning and contentment as we move in life. I hope to accompany you in your process, whether you feel stuck in repeating patterns, are facing difficult situations, and/or are trying to find balance and fulfillment in the various roles you hold.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work degree and I am a trained trauma integration counsellor. I have extensive experience working with parents, youth and marginalized communities and am dedicated to working towards a future in which all individuals and systems are trauma aware. I embody a practice that is psychoeducational, and strengths based, in which I assist clients with overcoming traumatic life events through processing lived experiences and in achieving overall wellness by addressing the root causes of stress and anxiety.

It takes courage to face our struggles and make meaningful changes in our lives. With this in mind, I strive to offer clients a welcoming and accepting therapeutic environment where they feel comfortable to explore, seek insight and make desired changes. Using an integrative approach tailored to the needs of each individual, I collaborate with my clients to help them understand and manage difficult emotions and learn effective skills to achieve their goals. My approach is compassion-based, practical and solution-focused.

I offer virtual counselling sessions for those who are seeking relief, insight, emotional support, and effective coping strategies. My focus lies primarily in working with individuals struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also welcome clients experiencing challenges with relationship, career burnout or questioning, self-doubt, life transitions, and people-pleasing tendencies. I firmly believe in the inner wisdom of each person and as such our work together will center on connecting you with your resilience, strengths, and ability to make choices that bring you closer to a more meaningful life.

There is great strength in allowing the tears to fall and asking for help. Specializing in grief and loss, I believe in the importance of informing and educating people on coping with and understanding the impact it can have on all facets of daily living. Trained in the Beck method of CBT, I provide solutions focused counselling and support to people struggling with a variety of challenges such as burn out, life cycle changes, anxiety and depression.

Do you feel aspects of your life need improvement, direction, guidance, change, or growth? Is the old tried and true approach you take, not working anymore? Come improve your mood, reduce anxiety, strengthen self-esteem, manage stress, work through academic/social/professional challenges, improve your relationships and communication, strengthen parenting techniques, and have smoother life transitions. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, having relational problems, abusing substances (drugs, alcohol, gambling, shopping, overeating), or have experienced trauma (abuse, violence, accident), I can help you. Free initial consult.

Seeking support can feel challenging. It can feel scary to explore truths, reflect on hard feelings, and create change. Together, we will build a collaborative therapeutic relationship to gain insight into your life, and allow difficult experiences and patterns to emerge. During sessions, we will experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that will ultimately deepen your understanding of yourself, identify barriers to change, and increase insight about these issues.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

We come to therapy for many reasons. You may be suffering from constant worry, feelings of worthlessness, shame, the impact of an illness, grief, meaninglessness, or unfulfilling relationships. You may struggle to connect with a loved one and feel profoundly alone even (or especially) with others. You may have a painful piece of your past that robs you of your present. You may just feel stuck in your life and need direction. Or you might be seeking help for other reasons. I’m here to assist you in finding answers that work for you, in healing emotional wounds, and in improving your relationships.
