Welcome! It takes courage and strength to reach out, and I am so glad that you're here. I am passionate about building a secure, and supportive relationship where you feel safe to identify and explore experiences and core beliefs that may have you feeling 'stuck' in life. I have an eclectic and engaging approach that honours you as the expert in your own life, and as such, focuses on creating an individualized treatment plan. We will utilize modalities (such as IFS and Brainspotting) that empower you to identify and achieve your healing goals, increase your self-awareness, and ultimately support you in overcoming life’s challenges.

Hello and welcome! I understand it can be scary and difficult when living through adverse or challenging experiences in your life whether past or present. Most important to our work together is creating a space that is yours, and supports healing emotionally, physically and spiritually. My 10 years of experience within the mental health system has provided me opportunity to work extensively with trauma, anxiety, depression and relational issues. My approach can be described as empowering, motivational and respectful of each individual’s intrinsic value and strengths. I am a proud ally and member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community .

Most of the people you know would say you seem just fine. But really, you feel like you're 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.

Finding the right person to walk with you through the growth of your healing journey relies on connection. When we work together, you’ll find my focus isn’t on what needs fixing but rather on hearing and seeing you so that together we can explore ways to create meaningful change through validations of your experience, curiosity, reflection, and skill building. I believe that one can heal from great adversity. As an interactive therapist, I work with individuals who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or adjustment.

Do you find yourself wondering why you respond the way you do? Your actions, thoughts, and even your feelings too often don’t align with the person you either want to be or know yourself to be? You find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling trapped in a loop? I work from the position that we start out with unlimited potential and then “life happens”, our experiences can get stuck, not fully processed or integrated. This can make us more reactive, feeling like we are the mercy of our emotions, thoughts, and actions.

If I could reach out to you in your search for a mental health professional, I would ask, "How can I help?". I have been working with clients for over 25 years, and the most important lesson I've learned is to truly listen to the person across from me, and create a therapeutic alliance based on that individual's personality and current needs. This is the essence of client-based psychotherapy. Contact me for a no-cost 30-minute intake appointment, and we can explore ways to work through the life challenges that have brought you to this search.
