Therapists in L1W
Navigating pain from trauma, relationships, and life in general, can often feel like an overwhelming burden, creating a heaviness that doesn't seem to go away. Sometimes, those around us struggle, or refuse, to understand our experiences or offer their support. When this happens, it is common to have feelings of self-doubt and frustration, wondering why it's so challenging to simply "move on." However, the reality is much more complicated than that, and we often unfairly take on more blame and self-criticism than we deserve. If you don't want to feel like this anymore, reaching out for support is a brave step toward self-love.

I have been in the field for over 20 years and have been fortunate to work in a variety of clinical settings. This includes an addictions treatment center, schools, children's mental health and a local community health centre. Currently I work with individuals of all ages, however my areas of speciality are with working with youth, young adults and helping individuals in their recovery from an eating disorder. I am also a part-time professor at a local college. I find my work with clients make me a better professor, and my work as a professor make me a better therapist and clinical supervisor.

You may look high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. I support adults navigating perfectionism, neurodivergence, attachment wounds, and trauma, often rooted in early experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others. Many clients come to therapy feeling “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. My approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and culturally inclusive, offering a gentle space to build emotional regulation, self-compassion, and safer connection at your own pace.

We all presume we can have children. We're told so since we're young. There is a biological and social expectation. Nothing can make the pain of that absence worse. You are angry, you can't believe this is happening! It's unfair and you keep asking yourself why me, why us? This is hard, probably one of the hardest things you had to go through in life so far. I specialize in the often-unspoken impact of fertility challenges. Having faced my own struggles with conceiving, I understand firsthand how complex and emotional this journey can be.
