I am a Master's level clinical social worker who has worked in the field of mental health since 1997. I work with individuals, couples and families who may be experiencing different stressors and need support. I take a collaborative, strength based approach to therapy drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma Informed Care. I focus on meeting you where you are at and understanding what feels more important for you to work on. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, eating disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, seniors health and women's health.
I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and value based-that may be keeping you stuck. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and stage of healing.
Together we will explore patterns of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, identity unhelpful thinking traps, build practical skills based on your strengths to help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience and balance. Reaching out for support can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I am here when you are ready to make a change.

I often use CBT in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
