Throughout life, we all experience unpleasant and overwhelming emotions. We go through life trying to figure out where and how we fit into the world. I work with clients to find the barriers and connect with their personal value system.
Are you seeking support with prenatal/postpartum anxiety, life transitions, postpartum depression or rage? Where society sends us messages about the joy in the pre and postnatal phases, I strive to normalize the conversation about both the happy times and the overwhelming, constantly learning and finding what it means to balance different asks and ever-changing identities.

Trauma, grief and pain can be overwhelming to deal with alone. Connections are built when you can be heard without prejudice or judgment. Once a strong therapeutic connection is established, healing can begin.

Life is full of obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we feel stuck in how to move forward. In counselling, you and I can explore how to feel unstuck in order to move forward. I work with issues that stem from anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, self esteem, depression, imposter syndrome. We can work on goals that range from how to expand on your coping skills, to explore what is working, what isn't and reasons behind that. We can work on ways on how you can grow in your self awareness in order to live a richer and healthier life.

When somebody is suffering with mental pain, is sad, anxious, conflicted, inhibited or unfulfilled, relief comes while talking about whatever comes to your mind in the presence of someone who puts you at ease, is skilled at listening, is intuitive and adept at responding. Learning the language of your emotions will help you to introspect, communicate and mature from your lived experiences. The urge to act out in ways that are impulsive or not well thought out minimizes and difficult feelings reduce in intensity creating a mental space for reflective understanding of yourself and the dynamics of your relationships.

A common challenge in accessing therapy is finding a therapist who shares your values. It can be difficult to explore the issues and experiences that are bringing you in, if you feel you have to educate your therapist on your identity. I believe you are the expert on your own experience. I enjoy working with individuals, and relationships (including non-monogamous, polyamorous, etc.). There are many reasons for folks to seek therapy including finding a non-judgemental, safe(r) space to explore issues such as; gender identity, sexual orientation, relationships, grief, family of origin, fertility, and parenting.

Warm welcome. You're here, so perhaps that inner voice is finally shouting that the need to change something important in your life can be put off no longer. Many changes feel scary and overwhelming enough that people avoid making them until the represented unmet needs are too painful to ignore. Feeling anxious, distracted/without direction, depressed, isolated/lonely, and/or in some other way unsatisfied in life? It's perfectly human to get some outside support to help you learn new ways of facing, learning about, and managing your issues. My genuine, non-judgemental, empathy-driven therapy style may be of help to you.

People may seek therapy when they feel stuck in life, when the discomfort they feel internally or within relationships is no longer tolerable. Often, we try to "unstick" ourselves by attempting to force change without appreciating the historical and emotional roots of our own and others' experience/behavior. For a variety of reasons (family dynamics, cultural norms, trauma, etc.), many of us carry emotional experiences that are still waiting to be seen, understood, and met with care. When we understand and accept the historical and emotional drivers of our experience/behavior, we grow in our ability to shift it.

I work with students impacted by Learning Disabilities (LD) (dyslexia, reading comprehension, low literacy), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who struggle academically. Programming focuses on individual student needs "there is no one size fits all" for effective remediation/intervention. I work with students from elementary to post secondary educational levels. Students become familiar with personal strengths and weaknesses, learning style, study skills, time management and organization. Specialized software programs are used for literacy remediation. The overarching goal is to develop learner self awareness for enabling students to become competent, successful, independent learners while increasing self-esteem, self-confidence and grades.

Navigating life and relationships can be difficult. Do you find yourself stuck in patterns of negative thoughts or behaviours? Do you find yourself relating to yourself, others, or the world in ways that are not really working for you? Do you find yourself struggling with letting go of the past, people or things, with things like addictions, loss of loved ones, and traumas? If you experiencing any of these things, or have a similar struggle, it is common to feel anxious, frustrated, depressed, overwhelmed, hopeless, isolated, and desperate for something to change. This can be very difficult to navigate out of on your own.

With over 25 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples, I’ve come to deeply understand that no two people are the same. My practice is built on the belief that each person is unique, and that meaningful therapy must be tailored to the individual. I approach every client with curiosity, respect, and a commitment to understanding their personal experiences within the context of family dynamics, culture, and the broader systems that shape their lives.
