Does it feel like intrusive thoughts are overtaking your world? Are these thoughts sometimes strange and unusual to your character, or do they go against your values? Are you engaging in mental or physical activities to relieve the feelings of distress or discomfort you may be experiencing? Maybe these activities are completed to avoid what feels like an irresistible urge. Are you looking to regain your day-to-day life and learn how to live well with OCD? Or maybe you are looking to address life impacting behaviours such as; skin picking, hair pulling, or tics.

Ever just feel stuck? Like, you need someone to actually listen, get what you’re going through, and not just brush it off? When your emotions go haywire, it’s like watching your life from the sidelines. Anger takes over. Anxiety hits hard. Depression has you stuck on the couch. Maybe your moods have pushed people away, and your job and relationships are at risk. The feelings of guilt and shame are real. Or the feelings are internal, like you are spiraling, and wondering, 'Will I ever feel normal again?' Life can feel completely out of control. But you don’t have to go through this alone.

I would like to acknowledge and honour your consideration to reach out for support. It is not always easy and can feel vulnerable. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” You are the expert of your life, however most of us need extra support to cope with the challenges that can arise in our daily lives. In today’s climate you may be feeling exhausted and access to the usual resources may be limited. This can be a lonely feeling and may be described as trauma – anything that you lack the resources to get through.

Life is difficult! But it is important to know that you don’t have to do it alone. From personal experience, I know how a non-judgmental, safe, & empowering space can allow for self-exploration & personal growth. My goal is to be aware of your individual needs & put your well-being first. I utilize a client-centred approach that integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, & solution focused therapy to collaborate with clients on their desired goals & outcomes of our sessions.

Do you wonder why you act the way you do? Do you have a feeling of doom that you can't shake? Are you convinced life could be better but you feel stuck? Answers may relate to trapped emotion in the body and deep-rooted beliefs. These answers might be the clarity you need to alleviate anxiety, regulate emotion, build self-esteem, and nurture healthier relationships.

Trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles are all too familiar for countless people in Canada. These challenges often feel like overwhelming mountains, blocking the light and making it hard to see the path ahead. Yet, there is no reason for anyone to walk this path alone. My approach to holistic care is neither formulaic nor prescriptive. Rather, it is compassionate and patient. I blend evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT, DBT with somatic techniques and energy medicine to nurture and support one meaningful step at a time.

Stuck, riding the struggle bus, and going through the motions sounds about right. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and you’ve talked to your best friend Joe. And it still isn’t cutting it. The healing you need is deep and you’re not sure how to get there. That’s fair. And that’s where therapy and counselling come into the mix. You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own, scrolling social media, or with meditations and deep breathing (even though, those are great too). You deserve some serious relief and I can help you get there.

Does it feel like you're floundering in a place you don't recognize? Do you feel alone? Are you dealing with issues that you never imagined you would be dealing with? Are you new to Canada?

Lets face it, the path to becoming a new parent can be stressful, unfamiliar, and scary. There's very little that can prepare you for the real-life challenges of postpartum and the profound transformation of one's identity. I've experienced those solitary nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and the sensation of no longer recognizing who I am or the life I lead. I've been through it all. I am here to help mama's and mama's to be through the ups and downs of infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and all things post partum.

Hello! I work with adults of all genders during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth, and postpartum). Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, experiencing shifts in your relationships, or struggling to find your identity amidst these changes, I am here to support you.
