Sometimes life can throw us for a loop; it can feel like chaos and challenging to manage. Like someone has taken control of how our story is written. Doing the best with what you have, but maybe that doesn't feel like enough. Carrying around the weight of nagging problems can be exhausting. It can impact relationships, work performance, school, and parenting or simply make it difficult to find enjoyment in simple things. I can help with many challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, feeling stuck, facing relationship problems, infedelity, high-conflict divorce , separation or even processing a new family structure.

I have always had a passion for helping others.

Childhood is often thought of as a magical time. The reality is that many kids face problems that leave them feeling worried, scared, angry, sad or confused. This can be difficult and heart breaking for parents trying their best to connect with and support their child. Very often, despite a caregiver’s best effort to learn more and help solve the problem, a child’s response is “I don’t know”. Play therapy can help provide children with the tools they need to express their thoughts and explore their inner world.

Become the best version of You! The goal at SOS Psychotherapy is to help you move from your pain and step into your possibilities.

With guided practice with evidence-based tools, learn how to gain perspective, leverage your pain points and move towards your preferred possibilities.

To experience challenges in our lives—whether they stem from within or outside of us—is human. With an earnest desire to confront those challenges and better ourselves, it is possible to bring forth a life of meaning, fulfillment, and joy. Emotional hardships can be overcome; our lives can be grounded in a deep sense of purpose; we can become confident in ourselves and live authentically. These are but some of the precious things we can attain through the process of self-exploration and healing, and with proper guidance and mentorship, this process can be navigated with grace and self-acceptance.

I am a registered clinical social worker at Smith Psychological who provides individual and family psychotherapy. I hold a Master of Social Work, specializing in individual and family therapy.I have worked in child welfare, hospitals, not-for-profit organizations and in the school board settings. I have extensive experience counselling both children and adults. I provide services through multiple modalities such as: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Focused Family Therapy and Navigating relationships, suicide prevention, anxiety & depression management, sexual violence & LGBTQ+ counselling.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, client centered therapeutic space for individuals and couples. I believe that a journey towards healing requires empathy, encouragement and supportive facilitation as we often haven't had the opportunity to learn ways to cope with traumatic experiences and life related stressors. This can result in dysregulation and feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelm in our day to day lives and relationships. Let's work together to explore and address your concerns in an open minded, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex/body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive space.
