A lot of time, our first instinct is to seek support when we may feel we are drowning in our current struggles. The first step is always the hardest, in where we fear we will not be understood. My belief is that because each one of us is unique, our struggles and thus our journey in healing will be too. I aim to be an anchor in these turbulent times and be a beacon of unfiltered, unconditional and non-judgemental space in exploring our internal processes. In collaboration, we can address motivational, acceptance, behavioural, cognitive, social, biological and cultural aspects that can work in tandem in maintaining our struggles.

Sleepless? Irritable? Constantly tired? If you've been struggling with poor sleep for more than a month, it's time to get it checked out. Poor sleep contributes to all sorts of daytime challenges, including increased stress at work and in your relationships. Or... is it chronic stress from work/school/family that's contributing to sleep problems? You might be on autopilot so much that it's hard to evaluate and problem solve. You resort to old reaction habits that aren't really effective anymore.

Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

I work with a wide range of issues, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, divorce, relationship crisis, communication troubles​, low self-esteem, problems of adaptation and grief.

Making the decision to disclose difficulties and seek out psychological services can be challenging. I work collaboratively with adult and adolescent therapy clients to develop a clear understanding of problems, building agreement on the core tasks of therapy to lead to meaningful changes. I utilize my training in Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Integrative therapies to address a diverse range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma (eg. sexual assault, childhood abuse), and personality difficulties. The foundation of our relationship will be our focus on establishing and maintaining a strong working-alliance rooted in empathy and trust.

The decision to seek support for yourself or your family can be an emotion-filled process. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a plan to address the unique concerns you may have.

My approach is eclectic and holistic and includes elements of cognitive-behavioural, attachment-informed, and mindfulness-based therapy.

Whether you’re struggling with healing a past hurt, dealing with current stressors or worrying about your future, I can help you talk things through and come up with practical ways to get you back on track. I believe in each person’s intrinsic worth and strengths and will help you rediscover yours. I value people’s individuality and believe each person is the expert of their own lives and sometimes all we need is for someone to listen and help us put things into perspective.

In my practice, I work mainly with children, youth and their families. I offer individual therapy for children/youth who struggle with issues like self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bullying, emotional regulation and parent-teen conflict. Parent sessions are recommended along side the child's therapy. In certain situations, I provide parent coaching for those who want to reflect upon themselves and develop better parenting strategies. For those seeking individual and family therapy, my hope is to offer a space where each person can talk without shame and begin to compose the life they desire.

Let’s start by taking a minute to celebrate your initiative towards a healthier emotional state. You being here, taking this step is an accomplishment worth recognizing.
