Living with a dark, stormy cloud over your head is NO way to live. If your cloud is taking away from your personal life or career, you may feel burdened, alone or misunderstood. It doesn't have to be that way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Interventions relieve anxiety, depression & stress, restore confidence, develop effective family relationships, and unlock personal potential. The solutions to your problems might be closer than you think. Why wait?

What if you could live a life without such intense emotional pain? To the outside world, you seem to be functioning well. Maybe you put on a smile and go through the motions to get through everyday life, but your inner world tells a different story. Each day may feel like a struggle because low mood or memories from the past seem to be a dark cloud that follows you everywhere you go. With specialties in trauma and PTSD, depression, and addiction, I understand that behaviours are often a way of coping with intense pain. My goal is to help you feel like you can cope with life again.

With over 10 years experience working in higher education and supporting students through difficult times as an ombudsman, I thought I had it all figured out! I understood student concerns and always had or could find the right answer. So, imagine my surprise when I returned to university as a mature student to study social work when the answers did not fit my needs at the time! Too often we let people who are "experts" tell us our story. Not today. You can write every chapter of your life. I work for students, women, moms, people of color, and immigrants. I would love to work for you!

Everyone assumes there's nothing wrong and that you're "handling things." Your inside voice paints a completely different story. You're trying to move forward with your life and enjoy the experience of bonding with your kids and family, but it seems like the past won't stop affecting you. There is a never-ending internal battle fighting to keep you in the present rather than reliving distressing memories. It feels difficult being your true self, when symptoms like flashbacks, withdrawal, anger, and anxiety keep taking over.

Within each of us lies the vision and hope for the life we want to live. Yet, we can feel overwhelmed by inner or outer challenges, fears, negative beliefs, low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. In many years of practice, I have seen the resilience of the human spirit. As a Spiritual Psychotherapist, I work with traditional approaches, as well as those rooted in Transpersonal Psychology, Archetypal Psychology and Shamanism which recognize the power and strength inherent within to facilitate change. My aim is to act as guide as clients address past pain and present circumstances that limit the ability to live a life in full bloom.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.
