Not current taking on new clients... Hello! Thank you for perusing my profile. I am a registered psychologist with close to 20 years of clinical experience.

Loss, trauma, life changes, illness, or relational problems can cause difficulties that impact one's quality of life. Although time can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of problems and personal growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. Quality of life and contentment increase as the ability to process issues develops. I help my clients resolve emotional difficulties related to life circumstances and struggles with family, friends or co-workers. Building on current areas of strength and, when necessary, tackling new areas of competence we work together to rebuild or develop your sense of inner strength.

Has life stress become too much? Do you feel like you are just surviving each day? You are not alone. Anxiety and mood issues can manifest in many forms, including low energy, irritability, anger, and more. Identifying and coping with the core issues can lead to better every day functioning and even gaining enjoyment out of life.

Working with adolescents is a special area of interest of mine and I can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

As individuals, we experience life in unique ways. We may navigate grief, anxiety, anger, fear, trauma, relational concerns, transitions, self-worth, or feeling overwhelmed by acting out on ourselves, others or engaging in behaviours that we know are harming us. My perspective is that we are more than problems to be fixed. We have the capacity to hold fragility and resilience, courage and fear, uncertainty and hope. I am passionately fierce in my goal to cultivate a trusting, accepting relationship that holds space for your story, where you can feel seen, accepted, supported, and valued- all while dropping the odd swear.
