Welcome! In my experience, people feel more comfortable talking to a person rather than a therapist, which is why I show up as my authentic self first. Clients can expect a therapist who is actively engaged and present in every session. While I tend to be upbeat and chatty, I also hold space for difficult emotions and utilize silence when necessary.

Feeling low? Sensing overwhelmed? Getting stuck? Life is challenging and can be suffering. How we navigate through trauma, pain, hurt, and agony, though, reflects how much we can gain through the experiences. I want you to know that you are not alone as I can be there for you, till we find the light again, together.
I consider life a forever learning and evolving journey with various hurdles and diverse experiences, which aligns with the philosophy of positive psychology (i.e., well-being is a result of learning), person-centred theories, and strength-based approaches.

As someone who is passionate about mental health, I applaud you for seeking therapy and advocating for your well-being. It is not easy to reach out and takes courage and bravery to do so. It is empowering to remember that you are in charge of your own life, even in the unexpected moments.

All children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent/caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodivergent children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

The hardest step but the most impactful is reaching out for support. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for prioritizing your health and wellness. As a social worker with over ten years working within the field of mental health, it's hard to ignore the one commonality- Trauma. Whether this is uncovered yet or not, everyone has a story, and sometimes those unprocessed memories or emotions have a way of getting stuck which can shape the way we currently cope. My areas of expertise are mental health, self-worth, grief/loss, compassion fatigue and overall trauma.

The harder times that life brings can leave us feeling a variety of emotions; anxiety, sadness, anger. Attempting to cope with these events and emotions alone can be exhausting. I began my journey to become a Psychotherapist as I found myself wanting to support others as they work through these times and strive for greater self-awareness, understanding, or self-improvement. I believe that everyone is deserving of support and compassion.

Hello! I'm a Social Worker passionate about helping individuals seeking support on their mental health journey. I'm not sure what brings you here, but for many of my clients, it is a desire to change how they feel about their daily lives. At times, they may be struggling with thoughts about themselves, others, and/or their lives in general. They may feel fearful, depressed, anxious, ashamed, stuck, and/or the desire to please people with little regard for themselves. They, at times, feel responsible for everyone else's problems, which leads to exhaustion and a sense of failure. They may experience triggers and don't understand why.

Productive psychotherapy occurs within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client, so often times the first one or two sessions are focused on a consultation to review the client’s concerns and for us to see if we are a good fit to work together. During this time, I will make recommendations for a treatment plan and will ask for the client’s feedback.
