Therapists in M4J
Accepting new Clients! My areas of focus include working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, adjustment disorder, stress, burnout, difficulty regulating emotions and difficult life transitions. My clients often come with ongoing stress from their personal and professional lives, with very different ideas about how to manage them. Some find that just talking to a neutral, supportive individual is helpful in itself; others come looking for specific coping skills or goals for their personal improvement.

Every one of us has the innate capacity to move beyond our repetitive, limiting beliefs and reactions in order to grow and flourish. We can both acknowledge and process our pain and suffering AND want more meaning and engagement in life. Spanning 20 years of practice, I help clients navigate experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also empower and share concrete practices with clients in their pursuit of greater life-purpose, meaning and vitality; to help them step out of their "autopilot" of day-to-day living to feel more alive and joyful.

I know from personal experience that our past can take hold of a person’s life in many ways, manifesting in intimate moments, in our ability to maintain healthy boundaries and our ability to trust. The past can grip a person in anxious intimate moments, confuse boundaries, the ability to trust and more. In therapy we work together to understand the legacy of the past and clarify where to go now. Remember, you don't need to have it all figured out to start. If something in your life isn't sitting right, whether it's relationships, isolation, lack of motivation or a sense of disconnection, this could be the place for you.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and unable to cope with the hand you've been dealt? Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we feel lost, alone, and that it is getting harder to enjoy ourselves in the world and our relationships. Anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual concerns, and relationship issues are some of the things we can work through together to help get you back to enjoying life. I work with individuals and couples to explore patterns, ways of thinking, and underlying issues that have an impact on current experiences.

You are important! I often hear my clients sharing their feelings of not being heard by their loved ones or not knowing where to start in their healing journey. I use self-compassion and your strengths as a starting point to build coping strategies. My goal is to always give you a space to be heard and someone on your team so you know you are not alone. I find the warmth of emotion-focused therapy and integrative approach of psychodynamic therapy combine to create a kind and deep understanding of my clients during their process. Your needs and boundaries are important, together we can work on building confidence and self-advocacy.

Life events impact us. Some more than others. Psychotherapy treatment can focus on stories of what has happened, the ways in which we have been affected, and how our perspectives can change.

You’re not just looking to cope—you want real change. Maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others. You’ve tried pushing through, but something still feels off. You need more than surface-level fixes—you want a space to be real, be seen, and do the deep work of transformation.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. You are more than a diagnosis, more than a set of symptoms. Our work together will be uniquely tailored to you—your history, relationships, patterns, and the way you experience the world.

Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who gets it.
Change is hard, but it is possible, and it all starts with you, and your unique strengths, goals and insight.
In our work together, my role will be to witness, reflect back and help bring greater awareness to aspects of your experience that may be in need of gentle attention or healing. At times, I may bring evidence-based therapeutic techniques into our work, tailored to both your individual style and needs. Together, we will work to collaboratively to bring to life the changes you identify as being most important to you, right now.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and creative process. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can feel at ease to explore and gain further insight into their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviours. I enjoy helping clients who are interested in their own personal growth and wellbeing. If you are seeking support in navigating challenges, developing coping strategies, achieving your personal goals, and living in accordance with your values, let’s connect.

My approach to therapy begins with compassion. I work intuitively, bringing a combination of depth and gentleness to support the safe exploration of difficult emotions and experiences. Whether we struggle with anxiety, grief or trauma, shifts and changes can begin to happen when we meet our suffering with openness and compassion. In my experience – both with my clients and with my own healing – there is a profound relief when we reconnect to the parts of ourselves we have suppressed or ignored. This 'reconnecting' nurtures our healing process, and empowers us to move forward with a greater sense of well-being and vitality.

You may look capable on the outside yet feel anxious, self-critical, or unsettled inside. Perhaps you notice patterns in relationships or choices that don’t seem to make sense. I help people understand anxiety, trauma responses, and relationship patterns that feel hard to change. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore what you're going through and make sense of it together. As things begin to make sense, many people feel relief and a greater sense of ease in their lives.

With more than 25 years of experience in community, hospital, and private practice settings, I support adults of all ages and backgrounds in navigating life’s challenges and building lasting change. Much of my work focuses on helping people navigate the impact of past or present trauma, which often shows up as anxiety, depression, grief, dissociation, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, or recurring patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative space where you can better understand these experiences, build healthier ways of coping, and move toward the life you want.

When I first started therapy, I felt shame in reaching out for support. I was taught to hide my emotions and to not show vulnerability. Often, we learn that shame is something we feel we must hide or "power through," but left unaddressed, it can lead to feelings of isolation and self-criticism. In finding a therapist that I trusted, I learned that therapy can be a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the roots of shame and work through the emotional struggles that come with it. Witnessing the healing, and life changing advantages of therapy was how my passion for becoming a therapist began.
