We all experience fear, angst and distress. A cure for mental illness isn't in my reach. I can help you develop behavioural strategies to become comfortable feeling these emotions. And remember, the journey itself is the reason we grow. My professional and personal goal is to guide you to see the courage that you already possess.

It gets better. One day, you’ll find your tribe. You just have to start trusting that people are out there waiting to love and celebrate you for the person you are turning out to be. In the meantime, the reality is that you will have to be your own tribe. You might just have to be your own best friend for a while. And, I'll walk beside you.

Katy Perry stated, "If you are not happy with something, you should change it. So, I went to a lot of therapy and finally, I am able to speak up for myself." She then said, "You are going to hear me roar!" Let's hear yours!

Exposure Response Prevention Therapy treats anxiety, phobias, OCD, etc., by using a behavioural approach. This entails completing tasks that cause anxiety to lower the level of emotional disturbance that it produces over time. When working with trauma-related disturbances and/or neurodivergence disorders, I can guide my clients through unmasking, EMDR, or several modified treatment opportunities.

I am strongly passionate about the use of several Exposure Therapy (ERP, ET, PE) modalities. This technique allows you to feel the fear, embracing the courage and bravery that it takes to lean into these emotions. I have separately certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat trauma-related hardships.
