Online Counselling for N2J

My areas of focus & experience include: depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping behaviours (e.g. substance misuse, self-injury, excessive gaming or internet use), transitional life stages (e.g. pregnancy & postpartum, starting or finishing school, retiring), school or work stress, identity questions/self-discovery, and meaning-making & existential concerns.

My experience with people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has helped me gain a vast amount of knowledge utilizing behavioural strategies. Over time, I developed an interest in employing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with individuals and youths living with Depression and Anxiety.

Asking for help and taking steps to reach out can be a scary task. Although it's not simple, it is meaningful. Connection is important in ours lives in whatever capacity is the most meaningful for you. Together we can explore ways to help you thrive. Our values, beliefs, assumptions, and experiences form the person we are. Therapy can help you dive into various areas in your life, past and present and build a better understanding of why we do what we do. The opportunity for growth is always available no matter the journey that led you here and you have the space to do it on your own terms.

Carl Jung stated, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” We all encounter hardships; however, I believe we can choose what we make of those experiences. Every person has the capacity for healing, growth, and change, and I am honoured to be part of that process with you. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Presenting issues I have worked with include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, emotion regulation, self-esteem, stress, burn out, and more.

Do you need help finding coping strategies for anxiety, depression, fatigue, trauma or stress to improve your wellness? I specialize in supporting individuals through pregnancy and postpartum. Do you need guidance exploring your identity, emotions, thoughts, behaviours, boundaries and communication strategies? You deserve peace, growth and healing. Are you ready to tap into your innate authenticity, increase self compassion, boost your self esteem and create inspiring meaningful changes?

Are you waking up exhausted? Maybe you’re burnt out or weighed down by the mental load you carry. You don't have the energy you once did. Your important relationships are suffering because you’re avoiding or snapping at everyone, making you even more stressed out and unhappy. Maybe you feel like you’ve lost your way- whether at school, work or with your family and friends. Now more than ever people are finding themselves overwhelmed by the pressures of their day-to-day lives and unable to show up as the best version of themselves. Reaching a clearer understanding of yourself is possible and worth the effort! I am here to help.

Currently accepting new in-person and virtual clients! Life is a journey that no one should walk alone. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally or physically exhausted, hurt, or isolated, I am here to walk with you. I strive to foster a compassionate, warm, and non-judgemental atmosphere for you to explore your current challenges. Together, we will identify your goals, learn your strengths, and develop an individualized treatment plan that feels good to you. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to counselling, which is why I use a client-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to therapy.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.

Are you open to self-exploration and growth, are you seeking support with navigating life's challenges or are you looking for a way to live your life more fully? At Bliss, we specialize in improving the relationship our clients have with themselves and others. We're here to unpack addiction or substance use, anxiety, communication, conflict, depression, grief, life changes, parenting and caregiving, sexual desires and intimacy, stress, trauma, and more. Using anti-oppressive, community driven and evidence-based approaches, you will learn new perspectives, build deeper connections, and find the motivation to embrace change.

As a dedicated Master of Social Work student, I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive atmosphere for those looking to embark on a path toward healing and connection. My approach is firmly rooted in a trauma-informed and inclusive model of practice. I believe in the power of creating a safe and affirming space where diverse perspectives are valued and respected. Through empathy and understanding, my aim is to empower individuals to navigate their challenges, develop new coping skills, and achieve their goals.
