I am extremely skilled and passionate in providing successful therapy to individuals and couples experiencing emotional pain. With over 19 years experience specializing in the areas of mental health, addictions, trauma, crisis intervention and dual diagnosis, I am extremely skilled in empowering and applying effective treatment modalities helping my client cope, resume and return to live productive and satisfied lives. My strongest belief is that achieving optimal Mental Health is within reach for each of us.

If you are experiencing grief, painful life transitions, seeking a safe place to explore your concerns around sexuality, gender or spirituality, or facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, loneliness and other types of emotional distress I hope you will reach out. Together we can travel those difficult places in your life journey, find out what you need for self understanding, emotional strength, resilient coping and living into your wholeness.

You may not feel like it right now, but you have within yourself the resources to overcome life’s most overwhelming, heartbreaking, and challenging experiences. Doing so alone is difficult and being vulnerable is scary. Having someone, who can navigate these times with you, can make a huge difference. As a therapist, I recognize you are the expert of your own life. I seek to help you identify your personal goals, recall your inner strengths, build confidence, and enhance your skills. My desire is for you to feel more confident, emotionally healthy and empowered to take on all that life brings your way.

I am a trauma informed therapist, and work primarily with individuals who are newcomers and refugees in settlement sector, on a wide variety of issues, including the following: Depression, Anxiety, Relationship challenges and problems (ex. marriage counseling), Self-esteem and identity challenges, Parenting issues and intergenerational conflict, Trauma impacts, Transitions to Canada resource building, and Support networking. My therapeutic approach is centered around building a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, heard, valued, and trusted.

The ultimate goal of therapy is to empower the client to use their inner strength to reach life's fullest potential. Counselling/therapy is an important tool when a person is experiencing difficulties which are affecting their quality of life. Often making life changes can be extremely fear provoking, leading people to look for coping strategies to deal with life's stressful events. Looking to a competent, qualified counsellor who can provide confidential and supportive help during these trying times can be most reassuring and helpful.

We can all use some help at certain times in our lives. It could be to address our mood, our relationships or our daily stressors. If you're at a place where you could benefit from counselling support, I would be happy to help you in a safe, welcoming, nonjudgmental space. I believe you know yourself best. In counselling sessions we can work together to determine your therapy goals and the strategies best suited to help you improve your situation and heal.

In today’s times life presents many stressors that just seem to be growing. Having some help along the way, without judgement, focusing on strengths and working collaboratively would be your experience while working with me. Self-care is something I strongly believe in, knowing you own self-worth and taking care of you is so important in filling your own bucket. My approach is strength based, with connection, empathy and rapport building, the starting point of sessions. We are a team! The goals are led by you, I am upfront, honest but empathic in my approach.

Life can be really hard. Perhaps you may be ignoring your own needs to please others, which may lead to losing a sense of who you are. Maybe it was a way you coped before, but perhaps it is not helpful anymore. In fact, it may result in feelings of anxiety and stress, and may impact your self-esteem, relationships/social life, boundaries, and asking for what you want. Perhaps you may also be dealing with grief/loss (including the passing of a loved one, or the loss of a relationship or of something meaningful to you), or navigating challenges with adult ADHD (as well as unlocking your strengths with this), and other life stressors.

Welcome! Life presents with many challenges... work stress, relationship stress, health issues, parenting, caregiving of parents, juggling so many different responsibilities. It can seem overwhelming when trying to manage it all. And sometimes struggles or hurts from the past, can seem to creep into our everyday lives when we would much rather leave those hurts behind. What a relief it would be... to release those worries, to alleviate those stresses, to heal those hurts. They are heavy to carry, and as we try to keep going, they get heavier along the way. What if, you could have help, to change that...

Families face many pressures in today’s fast paced high tech society with over packed schedules and focus on achievement. More children are struggling with flooded emotions, and those with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders experience difficulties navigating community systems that are often not built for them. I am confident that I can help children, youth, and their parents in honoring their uniqueness and strengths while developing lifelong strategies so that they can thrive in their homes, schools, and communities.

Searching for a therapist can be a challenge, which is why I want to thank you for coming to my page!

Now Accepting New Clients. For over twelve years, I worked with children, parents, and families as a behavioural therapist working with ASD. This has led me to now support children, teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, emotional regulation and eating disorders. I’m also currently specializing in couples and family work targeting co-parenting, communication, disconnection, blended families and amicable separation. I use a holistic, integrative approach to therapy and am trained in CBT, ACT and Gottman. I also like to incorporate hands-on activities and art therapy into my work.

Breakups, violence, illness, abuse, loss, grief, shame, abandonment, transitions, oppression, and feeling unloved and unworthy can be very painful. The counselling services I offer are focused on healing the whole mind and body. You will learn how to calm your nervous system and develop an embodied awareness of the strategies you developed as protection against further harm (fight, flight, freeze, fawn). Together we can reprocess and reconsolidate painful memories. My ideal client is open-minded, committed to bi-weekly appointments, and understands that healing involves engaging in calming & healing exercises between appointments.

Struggling with constant thoughts about food and your body is exhausting. It can be hard to be vulnerable about what's not working, when from the outside it looks like you're doing just fine. Are you ready to stop the constant battle? I am a therapist who helps anxious people struggling with eating, body image and perfectionism. Working together will help you discover self compassion, food freedom, body acceptance and self confidence. Let's work together to identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and change them so that you can finally relax!

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes it's a more immediate or situational concern (ie relationship breakdown), while other times therapy is sought out because of a long standing or historical issue (ie mental health diagnosis). What I have learned over my many years of practice is that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support. But change is possible. Realizing that you are not alone in your struggles is very powerful. Having a safe and nonjudgmental space to process your concerns and establish a path forward- in a way that is meaningful to you- is what I believe every client deserves.

I believe that challenges arise throughout our life that can often be overwhelming for us to cope with alone. We often struggle to adjust to new transitions. I offer a safe, warm,non-judgemental space to provide a step towards healing.
