As both a Psychotherapist and Registered Nurse, I recognize the significant connection between the mind and the body.

These parts of ourselves are so closely entangled that if one facet is in distress, it will affect the other.

Based in London, Ontario, and available throughout Canada via Virtual Online Therapy.

Taking New Clients! We all strive to be happy. But some days life can feel so overwhelming its hard to breathe. We may feel anxious, sad or frustrated, and it's hard to cope with day to day challenges. Our feelings can impact our relationships with our family, our ability at work, or time with our friends. They may cause self-doubt, social issues and health concerns. Often we have no idea where these feelings are coming from. We just know we are hurting. But to effectively address these feelings we need to have a better understanding of what's causing the difficulties.

Do you sometimes think to yourself "Gosh, my child's behaviour is out of control!". Do you think "I want to help my child so desperately but somehow it feels like I end up making things worse" ? Maybe you blame yourself and wonder "where did I go wrong?". Maybe other people in your child's life blame you. You know something needs to change but don't know where else to look. You've exhausted all the options you know of- you've spoken to other moms, teachers, maybe other therapists. You worry about your child's happiness and stability if something doesn't change. This is hard stuff! I want you to know, you're in the right place!

I know it can be a little overwhelming searching for the right support. Chances are you've been doing your best to figure it out on your own and now you're ready- or at least curious- to see how therapy can help you make and feel the changes you're looking for. I work specifically with adult children of alcoholics, co-dependency and perfectionism as well as clients with a history of depression, poor self-esteem, and anxiety. We'll work together to help you gain the skills, understanding and self-acceptance needed to create positive change.

I work with professionals, medical residents, graduate, post-graduate and doctoral students by helping them to feel more empowered and less stressed in their high-performance environments. By providing guidance to those facing challenges, I support the process of change during life transitions. Together we explore areas that may be causing symptoms, patterns of behaviour and learn how to accept your own feelings while creating a deeper sense of self. I coach and provide training on how to acquire or improve skills and strategies needed to regulate negative emotions, increase distress tolerance; and minimize and manage triggers.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you want something to change, but you’re not sure how to make it happen. As your therapist, I can bring the expertise of behavioural and psychological science, as well as therapeutic practice, while you can bring the expertise of your experience in your own life. Together, we can uncover ways to help you help yourself. Through collaborative effort, we can discover a process of change that’s right for you.

Are you struggling to eat? Are you eating too much, too little? Are you consumed by what your next meal is going to be and then stuck in a shame spiral for what you ate?

Using Intuitive Eating, food neutrality, unconditional permission to eat and Health At Every Size, I work with clients to rebuild their relationship with food. My approach is anti-diet and I believe in creating an environment for you to find food freedom. Together, we will look in-depth at your history with eating and come up with a plan.
