I worked for 17 years providing community based therapy/counselling as an Addictions Therapist with a premier mental health and addictions hospital. Recently I have been the Senior Clinician with a community based mental health services program. I offer personalized and confidential services with a non-judgemental, empathic, and supportive approach. Along with Addiction based services for individuals and their family members, I have worked extensively with parent-teen and family based conflict, relationships, domestic violence, trauma, anger management and conflict resolution, mental health (eg. anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, stress, suicide) as well as school refusal and peer difficulties.

Are you feeling unhappy in life? Do you often feel numb, detached or find yourself in sudden angry outbursts? You are not alone. In an attempt to protect oneself from being hurt again, it is not uncommon to disconnect, or numb out feelings. Though emotional detachment can affect a person’s physical, psychological and emotional development, however, being able to disconnect from our feelings may also be helpful when experiencing stressful situations. I am here to walk with you and support you in your journey. If you're here means you may be searching for a change. It takes a lot of courage to choose you. Congratulations.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed and/or depressed? Have you experienced a traumatic event that left you feeling alone, terrified and powerless? Maybe you are struggling with loss of a loved one, life changes, a break up or relationship problems that have stolen your joy and inner peace and affected your sleep and daily activities.

Life is full of challenges, and by overcoming these challenges we can learn, grow, and discover things about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes though, these challenges become too much to handle. Perhaps we’ve experienced a loss, a major change, or a trauma, something that has taken away the sense of control over our lives and we find ourselves stuck and overwhelmed, no longer able to learn from life’s challenges, but feeling helpless to overcome them. For many of us, this sense of overwhelm leads to symptoms of depression and anxiety.
