Sometimes life can be challenging to navigate due to stress, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, and the impact of trauma and grief. I offer therapy services to individuals and families and welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey. I am committed to fostering a caring, non-judgmental space that draws on your strengths and meets you where you are. Through a collaborative approach, we can work together to identify the barriers that may be limiting your growth and potential. By deepening your understanding of your experience, I can support you to integrate the changes you would like to see in your life and relationships.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety disorders, OCD, couples and people with complex difficulties who may have been given multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Currently accepting new clients. I am a Queer, pagan, and polyamorous service provider at Pink Opal Counselling. I provide virtual services only. My services are trauma-informed, and grounded in anti-oppressive, feminist, and Queer theories. I have education and training specific to social services, SFBT, mental health, family studies, Queer studies, and psychology. I hope to work with members of the Queer community, those engaged with ethical non-monogamy, and those who may practice alternative spiritualities.

This parenthood thing doesn’t feel like what you were expecting. From conception, through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and transitioning to parenthood, you are exhausted to a level you didn’t know was possible. Instead of the joy you expected welcoming a new baby (or two!), you’re overcome with sadness or fear. You's leaking, sore, ‘touched out’. Your body doesn’t feel like it belongs to you anymore. You're overwhelmed and this tiny bundle absorbs all your time and attention. You question "how can I be suffering so badly when I was so excited for parenthood?". You feel like you must be missing something, or defective.

Your reasons for coming to therapy and your experiences are unique to you. Many of us have to navigate difficult relationships and complex life challenges while being told we just need to "push through" or "get over it". Though we find creative ways to be resourceful and resilient, the experiences stay with us and leave our bodies carrying the impact. We all deserve to connect with our vitality and I believe everything you need to heal resides inside yourself. Together, we will support the mobilization of your internal resources so you can live in alignment with your authentic self and have healthy meaningful connections.

Immediate availability for March 2025. Booking for virtual and in-person services- evenings and weekends are available. Option to schedule sessions directly through my website! Life can get overwhelming, particularly when we believe that we must always keep it together. The pressure, the stress, the expectations- it's just too heavy, too much. The truth is, we're not meant to carry it all with us everywhere we go. Often, we don't know how to put it down, take a break, or let ourselves breathe. It can feel challenging, even scary, to unlearn these patterns and develop a new relationship with ourselves.

It all begins with a first step. Maybe you're feeling burnt out or contemplating a big change. Perhaps you are exploring some of life's deeper questions. Or maybe you want to find your voice through creativity. Whatever it is, how we approach your path can make all the difference. Often it is hard to describe the kind of change we are seeking, we just know that things can't continue as they are. That feeling of uncertainty that comes with new terrain is common, and part of my role as a therapist is to assist you in exploring different parts of your life with high sensitivity to your needs so that we can build a map together.

Addiction is a multifaceted and complicated process. Although there is a commonality between various expressions of addiction, individuals are also unique and require personalized treatment. I endeavor to provide my clients with the best possible counselling based on the most current thinking in the area of addiction. I furnish a supportive and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore relevant issues that may be related to substance abuse and behavioural addiction. It is important to recognize that things will get better with dedication and acceptance. I will be there to help guide you through the process.

As a therapist, my goal is to support you to live the life you want to live and become the person you want to become. I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it's important that we can create a space where you feel you can be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. Clients I see tend to experience difficulties related to mood and anxiety, or are seeking coping skills to navigate stress and the complexities of life. Outside of private practice, I am a social worker and psychotherapist at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.

It’s overwhelming when nothing feels safe, worrying about your life here in Canada and the well-being of your family abroad. Maybe you’ve been met with prejudgment and discrimination in the past, where shame, guilt, anxiety, and stress have become the norm. With so many expectations and demands, it all feels too much. You know deep down there must be someone who can guide you, someone who understands. I’m so glad you’re here. When I immigrated to Canada, I confronted my intergenerational trauma; I felt confused and very alone. I know what it’s like to grapple with identity, belonging, and the pressure of cultural expectations.

I work with clients who suffer from various emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety and trauma. I focus on educating the client what she or he is going through and together we design strategies that help cope with the emotional difficulties. An important emphasis is placed on sleep hygiene because healthy sleep often helps restore emotional well-being. We also offer physical rehabilitation at our clinic for clients who have chronic pain and other physical problems co-existing with emotional difficulties.
