Member of CCPA - Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), Member of the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF), BTTI trained in OCD, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP)
Right from when I was a little girl, I have enjoyed spending time listening to people’s stories. Most of my adult life I have spent as an accountant. However, I found that my true passion was always sitting with clients and not behind a computer. I learned early on that the accounting relationship with clients wasn’t always about numbers. Through additional coursework and involvement in memberships, committees, and boards, I have been able to be a part of facilitating change and growth within the community.

EMDR is my preferred treatment method; it has changed my life and it has the potential to help you too. If EMDR is not right for you, my trainings in DBT, DNF, Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Gottman Method, Yoga, Dance, and Meditation make me a versatile and effective therapist. I understand the impact and prevalence of trauma in our world, and I take into consideration the ways that systems and structures (patriarchy, colonialism, racism, etc…) can negatively impact mental health, identity, relationships, and communities. My practice is body-positive; inclusive; LGBTQIA2S+; ENM; and kink friendly.

Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

I am trained in many areas of mental health, but I specialize in therapies for trauma, OCD and anxiety.
I am accepting new clients for evenings and weekends! Do you feel overwhelmed by your own thoughts—unsure how to quiet the constant worry or self‑criticism? These patterns can come from past experiences or our upbringings, and they can leave us feeling stuck. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, with a focus on childhood experiences. Trauma can change the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. It can affect how we show up in relationships, sometimes by leaving us feeling unworthy or by making it difficult to trust others. As a therapist, I aim to help you make sense of your struggles, and create space for healing.

Are you confined to a personal prison due to your compulsions?
You'll learn to tolerate uncertainty and doubt, resist compulsions, and get back to enjoying your life, your relationships, and your hobbies. You don't have to suffer. It is possible to enjoy life again without spending every waking moment in your head, or repeating behaviours trying to find a feeling that won't come.

Teens are naturally wired to look for and try new things. Sometimes trying new things and searching for independence can be a step towards helping teens find purpose in their life. I have been working with adolescents, teens, adults, and families for over 20 years. I began my career working in schools with many neurodiverse students, supporting them and helping their families advocate for the services they needed and overcoming the barriers that often stand in their way. From here I moved to the role of a guidance counsellor where I found my passion helping many preteens and teens overcome obstacles in their lives.

My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, creating a safe and supportive environment in which to explore your experiences.

I have worked as a therapist for the past 25 years and come to this work with a depth of experience. I know the importance of finding a space to discover and nurture the hopes, potential and strength in each of us. I am able to offer a number of strategies and tools to manage issues in life - however - I have learned over the years, that one of the most important aspects of counselling is based in the understanding that we all have a sense of what we want in our lives but not always knowing how to get there. During this complicated time I am able to work with you over the phone.

I am a trauma informed, EMDR Certified Therapist working with individuals from all backgrounds to foster healing and resilience. I provide both short- and long-term therapy services to individuals seeking to process a wide range of psychological and personal challenges. Many of us face recurring difficulties—whether in relationships or within ourselves—without fully understanding their origins. This can leave us feeling stuck, isolated, and unsure of how to move forward. By uncovering the underlying causes of emotional distress, we can begin the journey toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
