I am passionate about helping people get to the root of their problems. Sometimes the "root" of the issue manifests itself in painful ways such as anxiety, depression, eating issues, or even just difficulty getting through day to day life. I seek to help my clients gain awareness and acceptance of their emotions and needs and empower them to make new choices that cultivate the life they want. I help clients navigate the difficulty that major life transitions present such as, loss, illness, divorce, family changes and career issues. Where it is relevant, I help explore how those emotions relate to past patterns and experiences.

My patients come to me because they struggle or are distressed. They struggle to find meaningful solutions to problems in their life or the life of their child. Included are stress or trauma, learning and school-related concerns, depression, anxiety, coping, and relationship problems. The distress people experience is often related to the time and effort they have already put in to find solutions that, at least initially, seem out of reach. Also related, is the fact that my patients are usually successful in life. It is uncomfortable to be generally competent and face a situation where that competence has seemingly vanished.

You’re a giver, and you put in 1000% to care for everyone around you. On the surface, everyone seems to love you, and you seem to have it all. But underneath all that, you feel a sense of loneliness. This is a common experience for many clients I help. Stuck in a web of family and friends, and a hurricane of obligations, you find yourself sacrificing your own needs for others. And the worst part is, sometimes, you don’t even know what you want for yourself! Then your Inner Critic sets in, and you beat yourself up for all the things you feel like you did wrong. And you wonder to yourself, "Will I ever be happy?"

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted; the person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you! This is a shocking discovery, even if it is not the first time! I understand the heart ache, the confusion and the difficulty in trying to navigate your present pain and work towards re-grounding yourself and healing.

Do you feel pressured to be perfect and live up to others high expectations? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless? Do you consistently experience intrusive thoughts and engage in repetitive behaviours that affect your daily life? Are you trying to make sense of your feelings after a difficult transition, traumatic event, or painful loss, and seeking healthier ways of coping? I am here to support you.

Are you trying to make sense of your feelings after a difficult transition, traumatic event, or painful loss, and seeking healthier ways of coping? I am here to support you.
Do you feel as if you are constantly oscillating between feeling stuck and overwhelmed? I get it. Perhaps there are emotional wounds from the past that are keeping you stuck, or the reality of living in the modern world is overwhelming, leaving little room for connecting with yourself. I work with adults who are seeking to experience more authenticity within relationships and work towards living meaningful and fulfilling lives. My practice is rooted in the belief that within every person exists a wellspring — a source of wisdom, creativity, and innate capacity for healing. Therapy is a space to pause and reconnect to your Self.

It can be hard to know whom or what to trust when making decisions about the well-being of your child.

I have specialized in working with children and teens for over 15 years because they deserve to work with an expert. I believe that their problems are real, and that they are capable of solving them. Frankly, they are also a lot of fun to work with! I don’t work with a child or teen in isolation, though. I also work with the parents because they are a crucial part of their child's progress. Therapy is not just a chat. It is a purposeful and structured conversation designed to highlight clients’ strengths, skills and values and to help clients figure out a way forward. I am passionate about my career, and I love what I do.

Are you someone who is yearning to become their best selves in a safe, judgement-free environment. Sometimes it is important to feel heard and understood. I provide safety by creating a warm and emotionally engaged relationship where you are valued and respected. When dealing with overwhelming emotions, I want you to feel seen, heard and understood. I want to work with you to discover how past experiences have shaped who you are now. If you want help in leading you to self-discovery, I believe we all have the potential to make something constructive and meaningful with our life.

I believe that asking for help and being vulnerable takes great courage. Therefore, by establishing a healthy therapeutic relationship through a non-judgemental, empathetic, collaborative, and psychodynamic approach, I help you unpack what may be at the core of your concerns and improve your ability to cope with the challenges that brought you to therapy.

I feel honoured that my job is to help parents and aspiring parents. I am a registered Clinical and Health Psychologist and the co-founder of The Well Parents Centre. I offer individual therapy and couples therapy, with a specific focus on infertility, loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting. Some of the issues we work on include improving mood, anxiety, adjustment, and relationships. My therapeutic approach is most often Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and can be described as non-judgemental, practical, and often humorous. Please note that I am currently offering a sliding scale for lgbtqia2s+ couples.

We can’t be on top of everything - so that’s why reaching out and asking for help is healthy and necessary. In business, love or life, it’s hard to show up well if you aren’t aware of your unconscious habits. I’ll help you get a better understanding of yourself and the people around you so you can create the life you want to live. I also work with couples to figure out what’s getting in the way of your connection.

I have interest in helping people with anxiety disorders (social, health and generalized anxiety disorders, specific phobias, agoraphobia and panic disorders) as well as depression, trichotillomania and body-focused repetitive behaviours. I also work with people experiencing situational anxiety in relation to specific issues, such as personal issues (poor self-esteem/self-confidence, past or current emotional or physical trauma), family/parenting issues, relationship issues, marital conflict or dissolution and school or vocational issues. I offer in-person and virtual/online sessions to make psychotherapy accessible for everyone.

I specialize in creating customized treatment plans for individuals/couples struggling with sexual dysfunctions and addictions. Sexual Trauma, Porn Addiction, Love Addiction and Sex Crimes are my specialties. My approach not only supports those facing these challenges but also helps partners and families who may feel confused and hurt. According to Parole Services, no one under my care has ever sexually re-offended, and only five couples have ever separated while working with me. I also help with sexual enhancement, intimacy growth, and relationship recovery. Imagine the possibilities that effective therapy can bring to your life.

I see couples in therapy who tell me they are quarrelling too much or who have drifted apart. Often, they need help with slowing down, expressing their softer feelings and understanding their partner's emotions. I also see couples whose lives have been turned upside down by an extra-marital affair and worry that there will never be trust again. I help them learn how an affair doesn't have to mean the end of a relationship. I also see individuals with anxiety, depression and trauma from childhood interfering with their present lives. Young adults and their parents see me for family therapy to improve their relationships.
