Sometimes, it can be difficult to live with big feelings, and we need to find healthy or different ways to cope. I have several years of individual and family therapy experience working at a children's mental health agency offering individual and family therapy. I support +18 teens, young adults and families through various challenges including
anxiety
, ADHD, emotion dysregulation, and relationship conflicts. Whether it is a one-time session, brief work, or ongoing sessions, I believe everyone can use support at one time or another.

I work with individuals 14+ for concerns relating to trauma, grief and loss, depression and
anxiety
, relationship issues, and life decisions, meaning and purpose.
Whatever it is that’s bothering you, there’s no need to struggle alone. Whatever it is, it can help to talk about it. Sometimes we just need someone to really hear us. Sometimes we need to learn new skills to help us cope. Sometimes we need help figuring out how what has happened to us affects how we think, feel and behave. Sometimes we need help to heal from things we have done, or things that were done to us. You’re here because you think it might be time to talk to someone, too.

I have experience helping those who have experienced trauma and those who live with
anxiety
, depression, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
My journey in the helping field has included working with individuals and families for more than 10 years. I very much welcome the opportunity to work with a diverse array of clients as I work from a multitude of approaches that include anti-oppression, feminist, client-centered, Indigenous and strengths-based. It has always been a passion of mine to work as a clinical social work therapist and therefore have a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Manitoba. My therapeutic approaches include DBT, other CBT interventions, and Indigenous ways of healing.

Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has
fears
, beliefs and rules for how they "should" be. Comprehending these narratives allows for compassionate curiosity around the origins and purposes of these stories that fuel our behaviours. Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

Help with creating healthy relationships with self and others such as: new, pre-marriage/union prep, remarriage, separation, divorce; parenting co-, single-, parent-child conflicts; life adjustments/transitions - career changes, bereavement/loss;
anxiety
, depression, bullying, chronic illness, trauma, gender, sex and sexuality, and spirituality.
As a client-centered Family Therapist/Counsellor, I have the privilege of working with families, relationships and individuals. I help find the strength to create life changes, by identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, while working toward increasing an overall sense of well-being. I believe that a strong, trusting, and comfortable therapeutic relationship coupled with a compassionate and respectful approach fosters a safe environment. It is here that difficult topics and the sense of being "stuck" can be discussed and explored, until new/different ways for sustainable change can be found and implemented.

Are you feeling restless and emotional? Do you suffer from increased
anxiety
due to past stress and feelings of loneliness? Do you have persistent feelings of sadness and trouble handling negative emotions?
Anxiety
, depression, and stress can easily become overwhelming, affecting your daily routine and worsening your quality of life. This is also true if you suffer from low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness, or grief. Life’s challenges can rob you of your ability to experience joy, trapping you in negative thought patterns and emotions. Therapy can help you to overcome these persistent issues and realize your unique goals.

Truth, Healing & Reclaiming your identity, are goals I want you to achieve. The stories we tell ourselves influence how we: perform in relationships; view ourselves, & make sense of our experiences of the world around us. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma,
anxiety
, mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experience has provided me an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination sexual orientation, ability & such impact us. I want to carefully consider the impacts of each with you.

Do you often feel anxious without reason? Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for awhile and let you enjoy inner peace? We often become victims of our own minds and emotions, struggling with the same inner and outer turmoil over and over and don’t know why.
Anxiety
, worry, self doubt, fear and incessant thinking aren’t caused by a single factor but a combination of things such as trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, troubled relationships and stress. Dealing with these issues, processing your feelings and learning strategies to quiet your mind will help you attain inner peace and emotional resilience

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
