When you have experienced trauma, your whole system can feel challenged day to day. You might struggle with persistent anxiety, feelings of shame and hopelessness and have a bleak outlook on the future. You can feel exhausted by your circumstances and truly at a loss for how to change or heal. Trauma impacts your thinking, your happiness, your quality of life and your joy. You can often find yourself engaging in behaviours that don't serve you, trying to numb out or manage the pain. It can feel hard to get close to anyone. It can be so hard to trust yourself, or other people. I completely understand, and I help people change daily.

Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling stressed, overwhelmed and questioning our direction. If you are considering therapy due to a personal crisis, or perhaps you recognize a pattern in your life that needs to shift, my goal is to work collaboratively with you to empower you with tools, skills and strategies to help regain your inner peace and to live a pleasurable, fulfilled life. Together, through trust, curiosity, creativity and empowerment we will build on your strengths and identify new strategies to recover from pain so that you can heal, grow and reach your goals.

We all have times in our lives when we need someone to talk to and to help us work through issues and challenges. I would be happy to talk to you and to help you identify your goals and learn how to develop positive coping strategies and life skills that are realistic and effective. Your story is built upon your life experiences and learning often occurs during the difficult times in our lives. It is time to take control of your story so you can start living the life you desire.

Immediate, In Person availability. Sometimes, life becomes more than we can comfortably manage. We may feel unfulfilled, sad, irritable, worried and disconnected from who we are, who we love and the life we want to live. We may feel powerless to change our situation. However, change is possible! I work collaboratively with people of all ages, honoring their unique experiences while simultaneously supporting them to increase strategies and build resiliency and confidence. Whether it is a slight ‘tweak’ or a deeper concern you wish to explore, I am happy to provide support.

Negative events or stressful experiences can interfere with how you are feeling about yourself and your relationships with others. When your mood feels up and down and you are under deep stress, it is hard to see a way out. When your past troubles you and impacts your present (and you fear the future) it can be devastating. You want to feel better, lighter, and like you've moved "past your past". You want a full life that feels easier than the one you're living. You want to be a better parent, partner, friend and family member. I completely understand, and I can help.

Are you feeling disconnected, lonely or unmotivated? Are your relationships strained and you are feeling stuck in a rut? Do you criticize yourself with unkind words, judgment and comparison to others? Have you been trying to make some improvements in your life but are feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes trying to make positive changes in our life can be very difficult when we are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and self-esteem due to barriers that we may not be even aware of. Most of us are searching for nothing more than to live a life filled with happiness, contentment and a sense of purpose.

Hello and welcome! I am a registered psychotherapist offering compassionate care and support to families, couples, individuals, and youth ages 8+ facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-confidence issues, trauma, and more.

I work in both in-person and virtually with adults and adolescents 16+ who feel as though something is preventing them from living their best and most authentic life. This may be overwhelming emotions, substance use, feelings of anxiety and panic, unhealed trauma, or a pervasive feeling that something is just “not right”. If this is you- my hope is to help you to feel as though you do not have to face these challenges alone. Therapy can help you to understand yourself and your life patterns, improve your relationships, develop coping skills and new ways of managing difficulties, and to feel more grounded and in control of your life.

I primarily use client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches.
