With over 10 years experience as a trauma therapist, my practice is strongly committed to you and your needs for support and healing. I am especially passionate about working with folks in the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy, post-partum, and the early years of parenting. I have both clinical training and lived experience in navigating the perinatal period, and genuinely grasp the challenges of this time where folks are often bombarded with information and advice from the internet, social media, health and social systems, family members, and friends; much of which can feel more overwhelming than helpful.

Are you overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’re worrying all the time, weathering the storm of loss, or feeling beaten down by self-judgment. Whatever it is that you are facing, I can offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to process what hurts and move toward healing. Through our work together, we will identify old patterns that may have once been helpful, but are now holding you back, and forge pathways that will support you to experience life in a new way.

I support your healing process with a variety of techniques, using the one that best works for you. My approach is to meet you where you are at currently and help you get to where you want to be! I have extensive experience working with people that live with anxiety, depression and trauma throughout their lifetime; including pre and postnatally. I also have extensive experience supporting clients with relationship conflicts, adjusting to life changes, stress management, sexual orientation, fertility, family concerns and personal growth.

Do you struggle with feelings of never being good enough? Are you living under the shadow of an inner critic that questions or shames your every move? I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, shame, and emotional dysregulation. If those feelings rob parenting, work, or social interactions of satisfaction, you are not alone. With all the challenges that life brings, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and exhausted. Together, we can explore how to reconnect with your authentic self — not the version you think you should be.

My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer individual counselling for those aged 14 and older, as well as couples counselling.

How many people are willing to understand the true feelings in a person's heart? I believe it is easy to define psychological illness, but it is very hard to find out a person's true feelings. This is the biggest challenge for one’s career. With that in mind, I work to understand all feelings and help all my clients learn to work through their difficulties to gradually become internally independent until they no longer need me.

Are you looking for the right fit and just can’t seem to find it? Frustrated by feeling like you’re the one educating the clinicians? I work with clients who have trouble finding professionals who understand them. Clients whose lives, relationships, and understandings differ from the neurotypical, heteronormative, and monogamous centered by western society. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, know that you are not alone!

Life can be overwhelming, especially when we experience relationship shifts. Divorce, separation, infidelity, parenting and communication challenges can leave us feeling stuck or lost.

My neurodiverse affirmative therapeutic practice is grounded in warmth, acceptance, and curiosity, creating a collaborative space for you to explore your feelings without judgment.

Everyone has three different types of life; the first one is public life, the second is private life and the third is the SECRET life. Public life means the life everyone knows you as a person and the private life is the life your near and dear once knows but the secret life is the life no one knows about but YOU. In secret life, many of us have confusions, thoughts, feelings and desires that we have no place to express. Will you share those feelings with anyone? You have one who can study your life, understand your feelings, and emotions and guide you the right way is the beautiful stranger called a "Therapist".

When we reflect on our lives, we each have our own unique set of experiences. These experiences and the interconnections between our biological, psychological, and socio-environmental factors shape who we are as an individual. Exposures to different types of events at times can be difficult to process and work through on our own. My goal is to advocate for my clients by developing appropriate supports and maintaining an inclusive and culturally sensitive space, that welcomes individuals from all walks of life.

Sometimes we are living at our best, in harmony with the highs and lows of life. Other times we are stressed, uncertain, overwhelmed and need help with the balance. Relationships are impacted, connections may be strained between family members, past experiences can affect the ability to live in the present moment. Major life transitions can be difficult, and feelings may seem too big to manage.

Imagine having a space where you can share what’s really going on, without judgment, where the focus is entirely on helping you feel better. Whether you’re dealing with constant worrying, feeling stuck in a low mood, or just finding it hard to keep up with everything, therapy can offer relief.

I strongly believe that the most powerful tool I have as a therapist is the ability to offer my clients an opportunity to share their stories without judgment. Having someone who treats you with kindness and unconditional positive regard while validating your emotional responses to life’s difficulties can be very healing. I have an abundance of experience in trauma treatment, including trauma from sexual assaults, human trafficking, and childhood abuse. I am also passionate about first-responder complex trauma. Another area I am passionate about it is sexual and relational health; I am a kink-aware, sex and body-positive person.
