Hello! I'm glad you're here! I believe that therapy should be a human experience where individuals feel supported in exploring vulnerable parts of themselves at their own pace and on their own terms. During our time together you can expect compassion, curiosity, lots of metaphors and a little bit of humour. Whatever you may be struggling with, I am here to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I offer sessions online, over the phone and in person in Barrie, Ontario

I believe psychotherapy is a place where you can be free to explore the fulness of yourself, to meet yourself. I will be there with you to provide the space and opportunity for change, by giving voice to the areas of you that have remained silent, to assist you in achieving a sense of authenticity. Through psychotherapy you can speak freely, without shame and fear and gradually within your own words another meaning forms and takes the pain with it. You don’t have to suffer isolated and in silence, you would find the ways to overcome the inhibition and the barriers on your path toward well-being and succes.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your relationships, work, or school? Do you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed by everything you need to do, and don't feel good enough? Do you wonder if you'll ever feel like you used to? We often put our needs last, justifying this by telling ourselves we have too much to accomplish first. Not addressing your depression, anxiety, or past trauma can lead to isolation, ruin your self-esteem, and make day-to-day life harder than it needs to be. However, there are ways to navigate these personal burdens and make life hopeful again, and you don't have to do it alone.

Therapy is not so much as "what do you need from me", but rather, "what do you need from you?" Who would you like to be for yourself? My humanistic background compels me to believe that clients often carry potential for growth that may be nurtured by the therapeutic relationship. While the specifics of clients' issues may vary, ultimately, many of us wish to be heard and understood. Although therapy may be directive at times, I often allow clients to lead and exercise their capacity for change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? If yes, I understand you and I want to provide the support you need. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives; job loss, end of a relationship, sickness in the family, feeling purposeless... While life can be challenging, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And I want to walk alongside you towards finding the light in your life to rediscover joy and fulfillment. My approach creates a calm and safe space for you to openly express your thoughts and emotions.

When did becoming an adult get so tough? Do you ever feel like you woke up one day, and even though you followed all the steps you were supposed to, you continue to feel overwhelmed with anxieties about your life and the future? Did pressures from your family and friends lead you into a career path that you don’t love or a relationship that is unfulfilling, and now you’re wondering how to get your life back? I understand what it is like to reach a certain stage in life and feel misguided, unsupported, and unsure of yourself.

I believe that we each have an innate wisdom and a core self or spirit that strives for joy, peace and fulfillment. Despite this, we can often become overwhelmed with difficult emotions and feel stuck in ways of being which do not serve us. I embrace the learnings from my Spiritual Psychotherapy & Spiritual Direction training as well as my intuitive energy training. I adopt an eclectic approach which combines traditional talk therapy with spiritual practices . I view healing as a journey of self-discovery and increased awareness which takes one to a deeper place of understanding of self and greater mind-body spirit connectedness

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming (Helen Keller). I am a psychoanalyst and offer treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, loss, grief, low self-esteem/confidence and shyness. I specialize in issues arising from adult and childhood trauma, relationships with family or colleagues, life transitions of any form and gender identity. I believe it is equally important to work on our inner and outer selves and to include our past and present in order to develop a grounded and balanced sense of being. I provide a safe environment in-person or virtually where you can explore and develop your thoughts further.

It is my belief that the experiences we have throughout our lives, both positive and negative, shape who we become and the way we see the world. Sometimes we develop patterns that make sense at one time in our life, but that do not make sense, nor serve us well, at a different point in time. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their current and past experiences with empathy, warmth and curiosity in order to develop strengths and remove barriers to joy and fulfillment. In this way I intend to assist clients in navigating and coping with the complexities of life.
