As a first responder, or someone navigating high stress work, you may feel like you are supposed to just cope. Now accepting new clients!

I have completed training in Mindfulness practice.
For many of us, it's easy to allow our mental health to take a backseat in our everyday lives. We may rely on distractions but we know that it’s time to look for support when we look to maintain a healthier relationship with our mental health.
I work with seniors, adults, children and teens who are seeking treatment in the management of anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, suicidal ideation, school/work, stress/burnout, women’s issues, couple's issues, and family conflict.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, my hope is to support clients who are looking to address these matters in a safe and stigma-free zone.

Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want support in understanding what they are experiencing. I take a mind body approach, recognizing that emotional stress often shows up physically in the body. Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences are connected while developing practical tools to manage challenges more effectively. My goal is to help clients build greater self awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create a stronger sense of balance and well being in their lives.

My approach is informed by Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness approaches, and a respectful way of working that is grounded in inner wisdom.
You’re not broken. You’re carrying parts of you that learned to cope: by shutting down, overthinking, distracting, getting angry, avoiding discomfort, or pulling away. These patterns aren’t random; they began for a reason and are trying to help. In therapy, we gently get curious about these parts so they don’t take over. Together, we build awareness, develop a more gentle relationship with your inner experiences, and move toward what matters most to you; even in the presence of difficult thoughts or emotions. Many find this leads to greater clarity, ease, and fulfillment. If this resonates, I’d be honored to walk along side you.

Accepting new clients! You have probably tried to talk it out, reconnect, and fix things, but the same conflict keeps showing up. Maybe you feel distant, defensive, or like you are walking on eggshells. Maybe intimacy feels tense or avoidant, desire has changed, or you miss the closeness you used to have. Underneath the arguments there is often an attachment pattern, stress, anxiety, or low mood that makes it harder to feel safe with each other. My role is to help you slow things down, understand what is happening between you, and rebuild a relationship that feels connected and secure.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
