Are you feeling anxious in your relationships, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or caught between different parts of yourself? Maybe one part of you is highly capable and driven, while another feels overwhelmed, self-critical, or exhausted. Perhaps you are feeling stuck and having trouble moving forward in your life.
My work is primarily informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), an experiential approach that helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself, so that you can move forward with understanding and confidence.

Couples therapy and individual counselling for adults navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and stress. Many clients experience excessive worry, intrusive or looping thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or feel stuck in cycles of overthinking despite trying hard to manage on their own. Many of the couples I work with are thoughtful, capable partners who care deeply about their relationship but find themselves caught in recurring patterns of miscommunication, emotional distance, or conflict. Together we work to better understand these patterns and develop healthier ways of communicating and responding to one another.

Are you feeling ready to understand yourself more deeply and work with patterns that feel long-standing or difficult to shift? I specialize in trauma-focused, depth-oriented therapy and use somatic approaches informed by Somatic Experiencing. My work supports the gentle processing and integration of emotional and physiological experiences, building self-compassion, and increasing awareness of how past experiences shape present-day relationships, reactions, and sense of self. This work often includes exploring shame-based patterns, a harsh inner critic, and deeper nervous system work.

The complexities of trauma can have a profound effect on us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I work with you as a gentle and compassionate guide as we navigate the core wounds and hidden elements in the depths of the mind, body, and soul. I believe we all possess an inner compass that knows what we need in order to heal and enrich our lives. I can help you discover and develop yours. I offer you a safe space that welcomes the whole self, to not only address presenting issues, but also to uncover underlying feelings and influences that may be hidden within.

Do you ever wonder why everything feels harder for you than it seems to for everyone else? If you found out you have ADHD as an adult, you're probably carrying relief and grief at once. Relief that there's finally an explanation. Grief for the years you spent pushing yourself twice as hard, burning out, and quietly wondering what was wrong with you. Most of my clients were told to try harder, make a list, break it into smaller steps. They tried. It didn't work, not because they failed, but because those strategies weren't built for how their brain works.

Perpetual input have you feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated? Demands of work, family and life in general leave you feeling worn out and worn thin? Tired, angry and burnt out? I'd like to help. I bring a plain spoken, authentic approach to our conversations offering a simple, quiet, compassionate space to slow down, an opportunity to reconnect and start putting the pieces back together in a way that makes sense for you. Together, we can focus on turning down the noise, increasing your bandwidth, cultivating some self understanding, and finding a steadier sense of peace.

Hi there! Do you feel like life moves way too fast? Like you are expected to have it all figured out even when you are not sure who you are yet? Maybe the stress, expectations, and constant changes leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of your next step. I work with kids, teens, and young adults (0-25) who are trying to make sense of all of that and help you find a path that feels meaningful, safe, and truly yours. I am a therapist in training with the Canadian Institute for Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with supervision, where I am learning to understand the rich, inner lives of young people and support them.

If you're living with the effects of trauma or PTSD, you may be wondering why you can't just "move on." Perhaps you're struggling with painful memories, nightmares, avoidance, or feeling constantly on edge. These reactions are not signs that you are broken. More often, they are survival responses that once helped protect you.
I provide structured, evidence-based trauma therapy to help you understand the "why" behind your symptoms and move toward recovery. I work with adults across Ontario, including healthcare professionals, first responders, and people affected by medical, interpersonal, or cumulative trauma.

Are you looking for therapy that goes beyond talk? You may be navigating trauma from the past, anger, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, learning difficulties, relationship conflict, or disability. People rarely fit neatly into one box. So, like many other experienced therapists, I draw from several therapy approaches, using evidence-based "common factors" that support meaningful change, to shape therapy around you, your situation, and your goals. Whether you are looking for individual or couple's therapy, we work with the same inter-dependent processes to co-empower you in relationships with self, family, and work/school.

Sometimes the deepest pain we carry is the feeling of being disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and from the spiritual grounding that gives life meaning.
Many people come to therapy carrying wounds from relationships, past experiences, or even painful spiritual experiences that have made trust, safety, and connection difficult. When these wounds go unhealed, they can show up as anxiety, shame, relationship struggles, or a quiet sense of emptiness. At Eternal Life Counselling, I offer therapy that integrates emotional healing, attachment work, and mind–body awareness with space for spiritual reflection.

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?

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.

Many people have already talked their stories through. The goal here isn’t to endlessly process - it’s to heal. We go beneath coping and analysis, carefully deconstruct what’s holding you in place and rebuild from the foundation up. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) supporting adults, couples, and adolescents through trauma, neurodivergence, OCD, personality disorders, attachment-based challenges and more. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Many of my clients have experienced therapy before but are ready for a deeper layer of healing. I provide a comforting space to heal while growing.

I’ve been there—and I know what it’s like to put yourself last and feel like things won’t ever get better. But they can—and they do.
Work with someone who’s been there, done that, and can help show you there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Think of me as your GPS. You’re driving, but I’ll help you figure out where you actually want to go, how to get there, and who’s worth bringing along. Whether you’re setting boundaries, dealing with toxic dynamics, riding solo for a while, or stuck in anxiety and people-pleasing—we’ll sort out what you want, without the guilt tied to family, culture, or what others expect from you.

Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to engage in self and interpersonal exploration and make meaningful connections. It is a place where, together, we can navigate life’s many challenges and build strength and resilience. I hope to offer a safe and supportive space to process, heal, and grow. I work to bring insight, awareness, and self-compassion into the therapy space. Therapy can be a space to discuss any topic, big or small, and focuses on creating resources, exploring emotions, and understanding thoughts and behaviors. I have been a Registered Psychotherapist for 6 years with the CRPO.
