I have an MEd in Counselling and have over 17 years experience as a psychotherapist working with adults, teens and couples.
Clients work with me to support them when they are feeling stuck; or faced with decision making and change which is weighing on them; or through times of distress in relationships, with career transitions or career development, parenting or life in general. Clients also work with me when they are being proactive with their emotional and mental health and want to stay focussed on their wellbeing. Whatever brings you to this place you are welcome. Setting up a free 15 minute phone consult is the first step. This allows us to both see if how I work could be a good fit for you at this time.

Having experienced the depths of grief, heartbreak, and loss of my sense of self- I understand how dark, isolating and impossible it can feel. The hopelessness, anxiety, and pain that can come from these experiences can leave us questioning so much, not knowing how or where to start with our healing. With therapy, we are able to address the complexity of our emotions and find the support we need, to grow, heal and to reconnect with ourself. My own experience of learning to access my inner resources is what motivates me to empower and guide others on their journey of self discovery and healing.

With more than a decade of experience, I am all about helping adults navigate the challenges of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out.
You may come to therapy with a goal in mind, or we can create goals together. In therapy we can work on improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and building healthy relationships. I use EMDR therapy to help process trauma and shift unhelpful patterns.

I have over 25 years of experience working with youth and adults, exploring barriers to success at school, work and home.
I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships. When challenged by the symptoms of AD(H)D, anxiety or depression everyone can become burdened by life's distractions, unable to prioritize and find the time to nurture relationships, pursue personal interests, meet desired goals and find peace and happiness in our day. To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

I work with driven individuals who want to grow, yet may find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated that they aren’t showing up the way they know they can. I believe meaningful change is ALWAYS possible. In our work together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and help you move toward it, even when your mind tries to pull you off course. My approach draws heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on learning to accept what we cannot control while committing to act on what truly matters.

Adulting is tough at times; different life stages, different goals and opportunities. Much of our personal history influences how we approach challenges in life and how we interact with others. Family can be a source of support, or not. The same can be said about those who surround us; work, social and friend groups. I believe we have the tools within us to deal with what life throws at us. It may be a tweak or a subtle shift of thought that will make the difference, or it may take a while due to previous traumas.

Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "something isn't right" or "I can't go on like this"? If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change. Maybe you are tired of hiding your drinking as a way to cope with your mood. Maybe you have noticed that while getting high works in the moment to help manage your nerves, you are actually more anxious now than you have ever been. Change is scary, but may be necessary for you to reach your full potential.

I work with adults in their 20s and 30s who feel anxious, stuck, and overwhelmed by life and career choices.
The world is on fire, social media says you’re behind, and every decision feels high-stakes. Rent? Wild... Job security? Questionable... Anxiety? Through the roof! You’re trying to build a career, afford a life, and keep it together while your brain spirals nonstop. You overthink every move, compare yourself constantly, and feel behind even though you’re doing what you’re ‘supposed’ to be doing. You second guess yourself constantly and the future feels overwhelming instead of exciting.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Canada hold various licenses depending on their training and provincial requirements. Common therapy credentials include Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Psychotherapists, and Certified Canadian Counsellors (CCC). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
