You’ve been thinking about starting therapy for a while. You feel stuck while others are moving forward in life. You question your abilities to achieve your goals. You doom scroll for hours and lack the motivation to get things done in your life. You compare yourself with others. You struggle to be happy for other people’s accomplishments. At times, you feel hopeless and worried about your future. You feel exhausted when you have no tasks. You have difficulty sleeping and never feel fully rested. You feel overwhelmed with life tasks. You lack self-confidence and question if anyone else is experiencing what you are going through.

I am a Master of Social Work, psychotherapist, and Dietitian. For over 20 years, I have specialized in helping individuals and families to successfully move beyond the effects of a range of mental health and dietary challenges including eating disorders. Our journey together is paced as we attend to mental health, emotional, &/or eating management skills-building needs. Along the way, it is often necessary to identify "taken-for-granted" thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours that no longer align with your evolving life goals. Together, we rebuild your skills, confidence, hope, life, and important relationships.

Do you or a loved one need more stability in your safety, relationships, or day to day life? Maybe that out-of-control urge exploded again, and you wish you could find that kind of relief without all the mess afterward. Maybe it exploded in one or more of your relationships, and you don’t know what to do, but you feel unspeakably lost or lonely about it. Maybe at times you’ve given up on life being worth living. Maybe other times you put on a game face, and folks have no idea what you're (not really), holding together. Or maybe it's your partner or kiddo going through this, and you need support yourself. I'm here to help.

Life can feel challenging at times, leaving you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. You may be experiencing feelings of sadness, worry, anger, shame, fear, grief or despair. Struggling with difficult emotions can take away from living in the present moment. Instead you may find yourself dealing with anxiety, self-criticism, over-thinking, reliving painful memories and stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Together we will slow things down so we can explore your experiences and the parts of you that may be hard to understand.

Do you want to try something different which will challenge you and direct your awareness to how you are living your life? Awareness is the first step in making any change. Awareness gives you a choice: do I keep doing what I have been doing or do I want to "try on" a new behaviour and see what changes? Together we will work through issues which are interfering with your ability to live your life fully in the here and now.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Uncertainty, unexpected challenges and self-doubt can weigh us down. Carrying such weight can cause us to experience fatigue, worry, sleepless nights, and unwanted behaviours, thoughts and emotions. Imagine what it would be like if some of that weight could be lifted. I offer compassionate care for people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief and trauma. Based on an integrative mix of both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, I endeavour to inspire compassionate self-understanding with an aim towards inner healing.

Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation. It is hard to find yourself in this place, and even harder to know where to turn. Realizing something isn't quite right is the first step----talking to someone is the next. I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up.

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

My practice offers psychotherapy services for individuals, couples and parents. People who contact me usually do so because they are experiencing difficulty managing as they face life's challenges or are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of stress, depression or anxiety. By the time people contact me they have usually been in distress for some time. They want some relief, they want clarity and they don't want to feel judged.

Your relationship is worth it. As a couples specialist, I help partners rediscover intimacy—even in the midst of intense conflict. Together, we’ll break the cycle of unresolved issues and replace escalating arguments with empathy and understanding. I support couples at every stage, giving them tools and a safe space to address challenges such as communication breakdowns, mistrust, bitterness, and differences in values, personality, parenting, in-laws, cultural dynamics, or finances. There is a formula for a healthy relationship, and I believe anyone can learn this and find a deep sense of partnership and belonging wherever they are.

When struggles touch our lives, reaching out for guidance and support in an empathic, safe environment can assist us in addressing life stressors and foster healing. My goal is to collaboratively cultivate such a space with you so that you are free to explore, empowered to reach insights, and encouraged to engage in new and constructive strategies. All the while, shedding light on your strengths and abilities to cope and thrive. I have an interest in working with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, stress, burnout, parenting, and relational concerns.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction rather than a destination.” Carl Rogers. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, a difficult medical diagnosis or challenging life transition, it is possible to find a healing path forward. As a therapist, my goal is to collaborate with clients to help bolster insight and self-compassion, and work together to make positive, value-directed changes.

The cornerstone of my work is in building relationships where clients feel listened to, validated, and able to build trust in the therapeutic process.

Through the process, there is a wonderful opportunity for learning more about yourself and those around you.
