Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to shrink ourselves to stay loved, accepted, or safe. If that sounds familiar, you might be carrying childhood trauma, faith-based trauma, or the weight of navigating your identity within your culture, your family, or the LGBTQ2IA+ community. You might be neurodivergent and still figuring out what that means for how you move through the world. I work with adolescents and adults facing these experiences, including depression, C-PTSD, family dysfunction, and relationship challenges, and I bring culturally responsive care that honours where you come from.

As a registered social worker and a psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a safe space by taking a non-judgmental stance and remaining flexible to your needs. Therapy is a place where we can collaboratively embark on a journey to work towards your goals while maintaining your role as the expert of your own life. The focus of therapy is to better understand and address the situations, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours that are contributing to your distress. Once we build this awareness we can work on the areas that are no longer serving you through processing and skill building.

Taking responsibility for ourselves and our experience of life begins with embracing our trials and tribulations, and facing them head on. This fosters a connection with the source of our power that builds resilience to manage whatever may come. Developing the resourcefulness required to fashion a life that is fulfilling and supportive of our overall well-being is an ever-evolving process, and can be more clearly navigated with the help of a trusted professional. Using a person-centred, culturally-, and trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower people to improve their quality of life through organic and systematic processes.

Has "getting by" become a way of life? Are you feeling hijacked by anxiety, stuck in cyclical low mood, or simply overwhelmed in relationship dynamics? Toxic stress and trauma destabilize our nervous system and shake up our sense of safety and control. In therapy, we open the doorway to understanding and neutralizing the roots of your triggers. Trauma-informed therapy works to stabilize your brain and body so that surviving transforms into thriving. It empowers you to restore balance within... to become the architect of your mind... and to cultivate a resilient self, unburdened by the past or life's circumstances.

You love your child more than anything, but some days, it feels like nothing you do is enough. The meltdowns come out of nowhere, simple transitions turn into full-blown battles, and routines that seem easy for other families feel impossible in your home. Teachers don’t always understand, family members offer unsolicited advice that doesn’t help, and you're left constantly advocating, explaining, and holding everything together even when you're running on empty. Maybe you feel like you’re failing your child because you don’t have the answers.
