I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating grief, trauma, addictions, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or longing for healthier connections. I also support people facing existential questions, identity struggles, and issues of spirituality or religion—those searching for deeper meaning and purpose. Together, we focus not only on overcoming difficulties but also on growth, skill-building, and creating a more balanced, meaningful life. Therapy is a way of opening the door to new paths forward.

Navigating life and relationships can be very difficult at times. It’s very easy to get stuck in patterns of negative thoughts, moods, and behaviors, and this can be very difficult to overcome alone. Often, these challenges stem from unresolved past experiences - traumas - that continue to impact your nervous system and sense of self. I specialize in helping individuals get unstuck and heal from all types of trauma, anxiety disorders, grief, addictions, and relationship issues.

“In my early professional years I was asking the question, How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” I am truly inspired by this quote from Carl Rogers, an American psychologist and one of the founders of humanistic psychology. In my private practice, I adopt a strengths-based perspective/solution focused approach while helping clients strive toward their personal growth. I am a registered social worker with over twenty years of experience helping clients navigate through life’s many challenges

As a therapist and a mom of two toddlers, I very honestly understand the challenges that can come along with not only parenting but the family planning and pregnancy stages too. I am honoured to be able to bring these perspectives to my mental health and psychotherapy practice. I enjoy working collaboratively with caregivers who are feeling stuck in their identity, overwhelmed with their new roles or simply curious to unpack parts of themselves as they move through life transitions. Whether this shows up as grief, trauma, anxiety or depression, please know that all parts of you are welcome in my space.

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.

Something feels different lately. Maybe it’s the brain fog, the emotions that hit harder than expected, or the quiet exhaustion of being the person everyone else leans on. Maybe it’s a strange grief for a version of yourself you can’t quite place anymore. That feeling of “I’m not who I used to be” isn’t something to fix, it’s something to understand. I specialize in supporting women through perimenopause, identity shifts, relationship changes, and emotional overwhelm — the season of life where everything seems to shift at once. Together, we make sense of what’s happening so you can feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Depression, anxiety, grief, stress, family conflict, and other hardships can make peace and happiness feel out of reach.

You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside, while privately feeling like something is harder than it should be. You may be exhausted from overthinking, masking, holding everything together, or trying to understand why you can’t simply relax and enjoy your life.
I work with neurodivergent women - many of them late-identified ADHD, AuDHD, or Autistic - who are tired of trying to think their way out of overwhelm. Together, we slow things down enough to notice what’s actually happening beneath the overthinking, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm.
