Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of June 10th, 2024)! My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult thing to do and takes courage. If you are struggling with Relationships, Mental Health, PTSD/Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Loss, Eating Disorders, you don't have to struggle alone. Together we can work towards the best version of you and progress towards your healing goals. I am a clinical Social Worker and provide Individual, Couple and Family counselling for a wide range of concerns. Effective therapy happens when there is a relationship established between the client and the counsellor. I have many years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Have you been struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem? Have you been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck? You are not alone. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for you to show up as your authentic self and feel heard and understood. Working from a client-centred and collaborative approach, I strive to meet you where you are and support you in navigating the challenges that you are facing. I recognize that therapy is not one size fits all and will honour your unique needs, values, and strengths.

In my private practice I offer therapy to people who need more than what they can access through short term services. I have worked in mental health and employee assistance programs (EAP), and enjoy doing longer term therapy. Primarily, I work with adults who are struggling with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, couples with relationship concerns, and people who have life changes they are working through. In my practice, I take an anti-oppression, culturally informed stance to peoples' issues and experiences. I am committed to ongoing professional development.

Imagine if... You weren’t constantly worried. You were confident in your abilities at home and work. Your past was only a distant memory instead of a ghost in your present. You had a space where you felt safe to talk about anything that is troubling you. You had someone you could talk to without fear of judgement or inadequacy. Stop feeling exhausted and start feeling stable. The use of psychotherapy can help you find yourself again, we understand you don’t want to feel this way forever. Our therapists are highly trained in a variety of issues and approaches. Let’s find the perfect therapist for you!

Are you struggling with low mood, anxiety, or going through a difficult life change? Or, is pain from the past or worries about the future making it hard to experience joy or peace now? I work to see the person behind the problem, to be present with you, and to empower you to make changes where needed or find a path to coping and acceptance when change isn’t available. We will explore patterns in thoughts, behaviours, and relationships, and build skills to cope and heal. In time, you will be your best supporter.
