"As a Registered Psychotherapist, I use a variety of modalities and approaches to treatment. My philosophy of growth relies on the facts that human beings are rational by nature, knowledge is based on experimental results, life's meaning is to be found in individuals, and that reality gains meaning through one's personal explanation of experiences. My practice focuses on helping individuals to understand and develop a greater understanding of their struggle through cognitive, affective, Behavioural and systematic intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth and pathology."

"Sometimes we don't realize the weight of something we've been carrying until we feel the weight of its release, but reaching out for assistance requires courage, and can be anxiety provoking. The key is to identify a therapist whom you feel a connection with, and have confidence that they possess the skills required to facilitate desired change. Clients are supported in identifying and increasing their awareness of repetitive and interfering patterns, and exploring routes for change, healing and growth. My intention is to facilitate clients in transforming the emotional impact of life's various challenges and stressors."

"If you're going through a major life/career transition, struggling with your weight, feeling stuck, dealing with relationship conflict, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression, a health challenge or simply yearning to get back in touch with your joyful self, I can help. My work is to help you release deeply held beliefs (that exhausting mental chatter!), unresolved emotions and energetic blocks that keep you from feeling ok with yourself and your life. When we are connected to ourselves we naturally invite more peace, creativity, love, joy and ease into our lives."

"My goal is to support clients with finding the direction and solutions they are seeking to the challenges they face. I provide a welcoming space for clients to explore personal uncertainties and learn concrete strategies to accomplish the healing, change, and growth they hope to achieve.My practice is to embrace diversity and a collaborative ,anti-oppressive ,non-judgmental approach . My approach is to work in partnership with clients to restore healthy communication, trust, emotional connection, and intimacy within their lives."

"Sadness, depression, anxiety or anger can interfere with our enjoyment of life and keep us stuck. Our inability to tolerate these feelings can lead to addictive patterns or behaviours which threaten to take over our life. Sometimes we establish a pattern of unhealthy relationships and can't understand how we have ended up there, once again. My style is supportive, compassionate, warm and honest. I will provide you with helpful feedback about how you get in your own way and I will work with you to find a new path that fits for you."

"Taking this first step toward healing is the most courageous, yet intimidating and vulnerable experience one may ever take. I recognize this, and welcome you into a safe space with compassion, warmth and empathy. Over the last few years, I have worked with couples, families and individuals searching for hope in times of crisis. I will work collaboratively with you to process and explore the roots of your emotional distress and support you toward increasing resilience and self-awareness. I can also help you to navigate through feeling "stuck" and/or "lost" due to life transitions and traumatic experiences."

From assisting people through depression or anxiety, to past childhood traumas or current traumas; I am compassionate in my approach.

"If you're struggling in your life journey, genuinely supportive, psychotherapy tailored to your needs may well offer you a concrete way forward. Working together with a concerned, experienced psychotherapist, you will learn about yourself, and learn practical tools and approaches that you can use everyday. Do you have acute stress at work? Are you concerned about forming healthier romantic or family relationships? Have you struggled with pervasive sadness, are you recovering from grief, or striving to find purpose in your life?"

"Are you the ultimate chameleon? Changing into whomever others need you to be at the expense of your self? Focused on everyone else and wondering why no one returns the favour? Getting lost in everyone else's needs and wants? Do you even know who YOU are anymore? And now you've hit that point... you're exhausted, empty, maybe even ill or with pain, and you can't stand it anymore! It's time to transform into the you, you're really meant to be, so you can also truly be present for those you love."

"I am passionate about mental health and wellness. I have witnessed the freedom, growth, and empowerment that therapy can provide, and it is a joy to foster an environment where meaningful change can take place.
