Not All Wounds Are Visible… For centuries individuals who struggled with their mental health often suffered in silence. Today, mental health has been inching it's way into the forefront of public health concerns. This much needed element of openness has allowed for individuals to feel more at ease in seeking help when life becomes difficult to navigate. My passion is to sit with people during these challenging times. I am trained in trauma counseling and this is where my heart is. I have sat with clients who have experienced devastating losses. I have listened intently to those who have lived through unimaginable abuse.

I work with both teens and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood trauma and racial trauma), posttraumatic stress disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), addictions, compulsive behaviours and more. My therapy practice draws from my own experience as a client, the education and training I have attained and my vast work experience. All of this allows me to help my clients better understand the adversities they face, lessen depression and anxiety, process difficult memories, and develop a more loving relationship with themselves.

Life is about Connections…to people, to places, to memories and things. But the nature of life is that we will experience problems and challenges at some point in life. Sometimes those challenges occur suddenly or at a time when you already feel stretched too thin. Or maybe you’ve lost that feeling of connection with yourself and others in your life. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is an important decision in searching for the help and support that is right for you. I offer an empathic, compassionate, and confidential place to share some of life's challenges that are interfering with your quality of life.

Accepting new clients! If you are reading this, you may be struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic event, and I want you to know that you're not alone. My goal is to help you regain a sense of control over your life, reduce trauma symptoms, and develop healthy coping strategies. My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy and understanding. I believe that everyone's experience with trauma is unique, and there is no "right" or "wrong" way to heal. During our sessions together, we'll work on building a safe and trusting relationship so that you can feel comfortable sharing your story and exploring your emotions.
