Specializing in Pregnancy/Postpartum and Women's issues. You are not broken - you are dealing with stress, grief, or trauma, as well as family, relationships, and work.

Away From Work On Maternity Leave - Not Accepting New Clients At This Time.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, the strength of my practice is in helping people living with depression/anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, pregnancy, postpartum and parenting challenges, childhood trauma, grief and mourning, eating disorders/body image issues, career stress, and relationship issues. In my practice, I help clients to become 'directors' of their own experience and to understand how behaviours that were once part of creatively adjusting to past environments may be interfering with their ability to function fully in the present moment.

When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, therapy can be a place to find your footing again. I offer a grounded and compassionate space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and reconnect with yourself.

Congratulations! You've decided to seek therapy. You've taken the first, courageous step towards the future you want and deserve. I specialize in individuals who are grappling with transitions in their relationships, careers, and identities. While life transitions can trigger profound emotional reactions such as bereavement, anger, anxiety, and depression, they can also be empowering and transformative.

Are you curious about seeing a therapist, but all the ‘therapy speak’ about gaslighting and feeling triggered isn't for you? Maybe you just want to figure out what the problem is without spending copious amounts of time blaming your parents, or crying in front of a stranger. Maybe you're scared because you've lost sight of yourself and done something you're not proud of. Perhaps you're only here because a boss, partner, or friend has told you that something has to change and you've run out of other options. I can meet you where you’re at. I take a no nonsense approach to therapy and if this appeals to you, feel free to reach out.

I'm a relational psychotherapist, and I draw from a model called IFS (internal family systems). My approach is warm, collaborative and client-centred. I work with an anti-oppressive lens, and I make room for the many different ways our identities are shaped, layered, and felt.

You're exhausted. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. The kind that comes from holding everything together for so long you forgot you were holding anything at all. You've done everything right. You're responsible. Dependable. The one who always held it all together for everyone else. And yet something feels hollow. Maybe a relationship ended, or a belief system that once held everything together stopped making sense, or you woke up one day and didn't recognize yourself. The pain is real. But underneath it is something quieter and harder to name: the feeling that you've lost the thread back to yourself.

I am a career counsellor who helps confused, burned-out, disillusioned individuals find clarity and hope. Using a holistic, flexible and creative approach, I help folks figure out what is important to them in a career, what strengths they bring to the table, what fits and what doesn't, and how to find happiness and success in any future role. Clients say that they feel grounded, clear and ready to move forward after our work together. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. My process is structured yet personalized, intuitive, and designed for people who don’t always follow the usual path.

We all want to be more balanced, more present and to feel empowered as we move through this world. However, people often experience blockages such as depression and anxiety due to traumas and conscious or unconscious fears about their own worth, inner wisdom and ability to pursue their own path. My purpose in working with you is to help you find meaning in your pain, heal, feel into your purpose, develop deep self love, find depth in your joy, manifest your highest good and reflect the sparkling light of who you are back out into the world.

If you would like to claim back your life and your relationships from the influence of problems and problem stories, I would like to help.
