My intention, using a client centered approach, is to empower so you can self monitor with self awareness. I can assist you in coping through a variety of situational loss circumstances such as health decline, family illness, death, job loss, financial loss, aging, divorce – with a specialty in assisting caregivers of family members living with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other ongoing serious condition. I've written 2 books specifically to assist family caregivers & the professionals who service them, "Caregiving with Strength" and "Keeping It Together: How to Cope as a Family Caregiver without Losing Your Sanity", a hands-on guide.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Have you been feeling “stuck” in old patterns of anxiety, low mood and numbness? Have you wondered if there is more to life than "just coping”? You’re not alone and there is a way forward. The catalyst to change is when we recognize that staying hidden underneath the “I’m okay” armor is no longer an option. Root-cause therapy focuses on addressing unprocessed painful experiences that feed our current symptoms and emotional patterns. This approach empowers you to let go of fears, self-doubt and old wounds so that you can gain a sense of control over your life and form strong bonds in relationships.

Are you feeling chained to the past and locked into “autopilot” mode? Are relationships leaving you wonder about belonging or being good enough? Trauma leaves an undeniable trail of distrust and fear in our mind and our bodies. Trauma is what went wrong and what was never given. Its imprints shape our stress response, emotional thresholds and how we relate to others. So, what if you could quiet your survival brain and take back control of your life? Therapy is about becoming the architect of your life and the master of your mind and body. It’s time to take charge and shape the new you.

My focus is on helping those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, parenting, and issues related to health and ageing. I have also practiced expertise working with immigrants, children of immigrants, and international students. I enjoy facilitating cross-cultural communication and exploring experiences that are tied to our identities. Safety and connection are the things I value most in my work; I believe humans are hard-wired for connection. Although it sometimes lets in the possibility of getting hurt, it is also how we build our resilience. I trust we always have the opportunity to heal.

Is living with a “survival mindset” hindering your daily life and relationships? Are you looking to address the root cause of your triggers? Moments of calm and connection can feel fleeting when we are repeatedly hijacked by overwhelm and unmet needs, or trapped in a loop-play of painful past experiences that seem to serve as cautionary lessons. Trauma-informed psychotherapy is an opportunity to reset the blueprint of our nervous system, release old wounds and reprogram outdated belief systems. Together, we lead the way towards feeling safely embodied, becoming at peace in your mind, and finding harmony within.

Sometimes we are mentally injured by events or accidents in our lives; they can cause shallow or deep wounds and trauma to our emotions. In some cases, we scratch our wounds unconsciously and worsen them instead of accepting and healing them compassionately. Uncompassionate focus on our injuries or pain can negatively impact our quality of life. They may bring stress, anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable feelings. Counselling can soothe wounds and ease pain. I try to help you heal those wounds and improve your health. I will be there with you throughout this journey by listening to you and gaining insight together.
