I have experience working with youth (13+) and adults in a variety of different areas, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addiction, emotional regulation, school stress, and more.
Oftentimes our deepest struggles reveal larger questions that we all ask ourselves at some point in life: What is my purpose? Do I have any worth or value? What is the meaning of my life? Does anyone see me? The unpredictability of life can be blindsiding, leaving us feeling empty, lost, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and discouraged. Whether you have lost a loved one, are feeling burnout, are overwhelmed in a life transition, uncertain about the future, find yourself in the cycle of addiction, or are struggling with emotions that you have never experienced before, this one reality remains the same: change is possible.

I also pull a lot from lived experience – especially, when working with my clients who are struggling with grief, cancer diagnosis, and supporting loved ones through difficult transitions.
Welcome! Let me start out by telling you what I tell all my potential clients: Therapy is such an individual process and so much of it has to do with finding the right therapist. Many of us have similar training and areas of expertise but we all differ in personality. I want to use this space here to give you an idea of my vibe and approach. I’m a little quirky with a gentle approach and strong ability to challenge you and explore with you. I can sit with you in heavy spaces, difficult feelings, and complex thoughts.

As a culturally responsive & trauma-informed clinician, I am dedicated to reducing the stigma around mental health and improving access to support. I believe that feeling 'Safe and Connected' is essential at the core of our existence and relationships. When we are neglected or ignored, it can lead to vulnerable emotions such as guilt/shame, sadness, loneliness, and anger. Bottling up these emotions not only strain our belief system but leads to feelings of disconnect from ourselves, others, and society. Sue Monk Kidd once said, "Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we are here."

Engaging in psychotherapy is a brave step towards reconciling with one's past, making amends with others, and finding peace with oneself. It's a unique relationship that lays the foundation for healing all other relationships. Psychotherapy, in its core, is a spiritual journey—a pilgrimage into the self. Just as a pilgrim walks from temple to temple, seeking enlightenment, an individual's therapeutic journey may involve multiple therapists. I might be your current one, but perhaps not your first nor your last. Each leg of this journey, with each therapist, requires courage and a faith that transformation is attainable.

Grief Counsellors

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
