Have you experienced a traumatic event in your life? For some people, trauma was experienced in childhood, or through sexual assault, being involved in an accident, being in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, not having your basic needs met, or experiencing it through your work as a frontline worker. Untreated trauma can fester in one's body and present as anxiety/panic, depression, anger, irritability, sleep/eating issues, inability to concentrate, low self-esteem or intimacy issues.

Every individual and couple carries experiences that shape how they relate to themselves and others.

You might be feeling anxious, stressed, or stuck — maybe emotions feel overwhelming, relationships are strained, or you’re struggling with low mood. Life’s challenges may leave you unsure how to move forward. Therapy can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected. Taking this first step shows courage, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I provide psychotherapy that fosters critical dialogue and facilitates an exploration of your mental health in its many dimensions, including physical, socio-cultural, relational, sexual and spiritual. This involves developing the self-knowledge, personal resources and abilities that forge adaptive, new connections to your sense of self and to others. Making new connections is essential to your resilience and recovery: your capacities to create positive growth and change through self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-compassion. Enhancing how you are connected to self, others and community is central to my therapeutic approach.

To me, therapy is a process of reconnection. Re-connecting to yourself, your heart, and to others. When space is held for all parts of you to express themselves and be heard, things that were stuck can begin to move. It’s simple, but it’s not easy- fear and shame can make it so hard to be okay with ourselves and our lives. Therapy is a way to undo those narratives that have been long-carried, and begin to enter the emotional waters deep inside us. It can be challenging, but you don’t have to do this alone.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling. We all have our struggles and sometimes talking with someone in a safe, supportive and confidential environment can help to see things differently, develop new skills to put toward problems, and create new meaning about your own personal story. The most important factor in the therapeutic relationship, as in any relationship, is feeling safe and understood. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and open space in which to deepen your self-awareness and reach your goals.

Most of the people you know would say you seem just fine. But really, you feel like you're just going through the motions on autopilot. You put on a smile when you actually feel sad, numb, hopeless, angry, overwhelmed or all of the above. Feelings of fear, shame and guilt guide your choices. You've lost interest in things you used to enjoy and find yourself preferring to stay home and isolate because it just feels easier. Maybe you've started having anxiety and/or panic attacks. Now you can't sleep well and have started to engage in self destructive thoughts and behaviours. You just don’t feel like yourself.
