Feeling like something isn't right in your life? Are you, or is someone you love in crisis? Are you consumed by worry, overwhelmed, unable to cope, exhausted, struggling at school, work or a relationship? Depression, anxiety anger or addictions rob you of joy, make you feel numb, isolated and that life is darker and far more challenging than it should be? We help people and families just like you to find hope. Internal Family Systems, EMDR and cognitive behavioural therapy are some of our approaches. Carley was my young, talented, vibrant, beautiful cousin, and it is in her memory that this centre was founded; that's her picture.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. I work with individuals who are looking to better understand themselves, shift unhelpful patterns, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Often, the way we think about ourselves can quietly hold us back — leading to self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and a sense of disconnection from who we truly are. In our work together, we will explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, while gently challenging the beliefs that may no longer be serving you.

Becoming a mom is one of the most amazing, joyful experiences you’ve ever had- and it can also be overwhelming. From worrying about taking care of a new little human to images and examples of moms who seem to be ‘getting it right’, you may feel like somehow you’re not measuring up. Navigating relationships with family and friends, returning to work, and the challenges created by the pandemic may have increased your fears and heightened your ‘mom guilt’. As someone who has experienced this first-hand, I offer you a space where you can share it all- the good and the messy- and feel empowered in this role of a lifetime.

When were you last able to slow your racing thoughts and feel a sense of calm? For many, anxiety is exhausting and isolating, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Together, let’s explore how to find your piece of mind.
If this sounds like your experience, a lot of people feel exhausted by anxiety, stress and burnout. Not addressing your anxiety can lead to feeling disconnected and afraid. But I believe that everyone has strengths that they can leverage to address what’s holding them back; there is hope for a future where you can be more connected to those around you and feel a sense of safety again.

Are you a mom or soon to be one, wanting what is best for your children but struggling to manage it all? Guilt, shame, anxiety, overwhelm, rage are just some emotions I hear moms talk about ALL the time. We are embarrassed to admit it's hard, because we think we "SHOULD" be able to do it all... the unsolicited opinions also throw another wrench our way. Well, it's time to break up with the unhelpful advice and the unhelpful mental chatter, you CAN be a more regulated mom for your children and it starts with prioritizing yourself.

Life often presents challenges that can be difficult to navigate. The process of counselling can be viewed as a purposeful journey, whereby you and I travel together, jointly working to explore your concerns, discover strengths and craft solutions to the challenges faced in living. My role as counsellor is to act as a guide in this process, and you are the guide to your experience. I am a registered psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience supporting adolescents, adults and their families. My philosophy is rooted in the Humanist school, drawing from Adlerian and Existential theories.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with feelings and thoughts you can't describe and are finding it hard to cope.

You may feel alone in your experience and fear that no one will be able to relate. It's exhausting. Or, as a parent, you may be noticing changes in your child/teen that are concerning and it is hard to see him/her struggling.

I appreciate that the decision to come to therapy takes time. Often we become stuck without resolution or understanding of what we are feeling. You may observe repeated patterns in your relationship with others that have a similar outcome that wounds your sense of self. My role as your therapist is to help you explore relational patterns and attachment so you can increase your self-awareness and feel empowered to make decisions that feel right for you. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, intimate partner violence, anxiety and mood disorders with a goal of increasing well-being.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed trying to keep it all together, and despite trying different planners, strategies, and with your best efforts, still feel like you’re falling behind? You want to show up for yourself and others, yet expectations feel unmanageable and conflict keeps surfacing. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and disconnected from your true self, doubting your abilities while sensing there’s more within you. I support emotionally overwhelmed, high-functioning adults with ADHD or anxiety who have spent years masking, overthinking, people pleasing, or trying to earn their worth through achievement and perfectionism.

Instead, I meet you where you are, drawing from proven approaches and real-world insight to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped.
Most importantly, I believe deeply in our incredible capacity to heal ourselves and the world. You are capable, resilient and deserve honesty, dignity, and hope. Our work together is about clarity, courage, and finding your own way forward on your terms.
