Are past traumas, low self-esteem, and fear hindering your ability to be authentic? You may repeat unhealthy relationship patterns, struggle with intimacy, or have self-sabotaging tendencies. You may feel disconnected from yourself and your body and tend to lose yourself in relationships. You may grapple with negative self-talk, stress, and anxiety, struggling to manage your emotions. Overthinking, overachieving, self-criticism, and self-doubt may be present as you question your purpose and whether you’re on the right path... I know how tiring and frustrating this can feel. I've been there and you're not alone!

You’ve noticed your child’s behaviour has changed recently and it concerns you. You want to support them in this fast-paced and competitive world, but you’re not sure how. You want to understand them, but it feels you’re hitting a wall whenever you try to reach them. And you’re getting tired of trying. For children and youth, growing up involves changes that impact their well-being and their self-esteem. With attentive and empathetic support, their ability to cope with these changes can bring them confidence. But without the right support, they can internalize ideas about themselves and their relationships that cause them pain.

Mental health is nested within a network of relationships and our past experience. In therapy, we work together to untangle these networks to build awareness and form new and useful habits or patterns that serve you and your loved ones. I work with youth and adults managing low mood/self-esteem, depression/suicide, anxiety, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, relationship difficulties (family, romantic etc.), grief, and day to day stressors.

Life is full of challenges, sometimes we all need some extra support to guide us through the hard times. Whether that might be anxiety, depression, general stress, life transitions, motivation, or self-esteem issues. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for helping others, which has led me to pursue a career in the mental health field. I have a strong interest in working with children and adolescents.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, low self esteem, or low mood/depression, I use well-researched therapies that will bring results.
Living with anxiety and depression can be really hard to live with.
Maybe you find yourself worrying about a variety of things, feeling tense, have difficulty sleeping and turning off your mind.
Perhaps you find it difficult to meet new people or build relationships with others because you're afraid of being judge negatively...
Or you don't feel good about yourself and your life, or maybe you feel like life is happening to you instead of for you. Depression can make it feel like a struggle to do the things you used to and enjoy life. Maybe you're not even sure life is worth living.
Please note, I offer virtual services only.

I have always had a passion for helping others. With previous work experience in different environments, I have been exposed to the complexities of life, which has developed my belief that change, growth and healing is possible if individuals are supported with compassion, empathy, and non-judgement. This belief has become my therapeutic approach, along with recognizing and valuing that each client is unique, making the therapy process unique.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you deal with ADHD, ASD, LD, or ODD? Is your child (10+) struggling with any of these concerns? Is your child transitioning from grade school to high school? Or high school to post-secondary? I deeply appreciate the opportunity to support people in learning about themselves, their strengths and ways to self-advocate for meeting their needs and goals. Working in special education has given me strategies and abilities to work with individuals addressing anxiety, school and peer-related issues, self-esteem, and executive functioning challenges.

We all want a better life and we are all doing the best we can with what we have. But sometimes we can get stuck in routines, unsure of how to make the change we so desperately want to see in our lives. Sometimes even asking ourselves "what do I want?" can be anxiety provoking and make us feel like we're stuck when we can't answer it. Times like this we can even find ourselves appealing to others' needs and "living for others" all the while feeling like something is missing. Everything we do has some benefit to us, otherwise we wouldn't do it. Getting to the heart of this underlying want can be the empowering change we need.
