*Couples & Trauma Specialist* You may feel like you are having the same argument with your partner. Daily stress piles up and you grow further apart from one another, feeling tension and disconnect. You feel alone in your relationship. You feel frustrated, angry and hopeless, asking yourself what went wrong. You are tired of arguments and long for the love and emotional connection you felt at the beginning of your relationship. Most couples get stuck in a negative cycle and the cycle is the problem. Together we will untangle this stuck pattern and find the emotional connection, love, and peace that you want in your relationship.

The clients I serve in my practice are women, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Many years of experience working with Trauma, Sleeping Problems, Anxiety, Concurrent Disorders and/or Severe Mental Health clients. I am a Clinician trained internationally with a different approach that seeks your Freedom, not your adjustment, your Expression of emotions, not controlling them. If nothing has worked so far for you to feel happy, give me a call.

In my over 14 years of experience as a counsellor it has been my privilege to conduct over 10,000 sessions with clients, teens and adults, in English and Spanish. I work with individuals to develop better coping skills and find ways to grow from the inside out, and feel stronger. With couples in building or renovating the foundation of their relationship. With family members in gaining a better understanding of their dynamics, supporting one another and working through specific situations. I also offer group therapy as collaborative spaces for learning strategies, overcoming common challenges and work in achieving shared goals.

I am a registered psychotherapist with an integrative approach. My counseling considers all aspects of health: mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the inherent dignity and strength of the human person. I draw on these to help you manage your challenges and transitions, and to find new balance and purpose in life. I worked at CMHAWW, where I specialized in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have also worked in the addictions programs at St. Michael's Hospital and Humber River Hospital, where I specialized in concurrent disorders.

Do you find that your emotions are getting the best of you? Do you find that your goals and purpose are frequently uprooted by the anxiety, depression, or anger of the day? Wondering how we can change for the better doesn't have to be a dream only! Even with the best of intentions anxiety and depression can and do often get the best of us. Many of us imagine and envision a different kind of life where peace, serenity and purpose prevail. Learning strategies to break the cyle and to reclaim your life can be truely liberating, and accomplished with therapy!
