*Accepting new clients* I am a registered psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety disorders, grief, disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, and burnout. I work to overcome the symptoms of anxiety and stress while also uncovering and treating root causes. If you are feeling stuck and lost, I can help you change this and get you on the path to living a fulfilling, meaningful life. With over 10 years’ experience in the helping field, I would be honored to support you on your wellness journey.

Using a strengths-based approach, together we will build upon personal and meaningful growth that focuses on respect and validation.

I support people to find peace and stability in their lives by looking at factors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation. Digestive issues, stress, hormonal imbalances, sleep difficulties, neurotransmitter imbalances, lifestyle, genetics, and environment all have profound effects on mood and psychological health.

Explore within. Create connection. Ignite potential. This pandemic has brought new heights of stress for everyone. I work with teens and adults, along with all levels of athletes & performers - from leisure to elite performance. I help clients overcome obstacles of heightened stress due to anxiety disorders, depression, self-esteem, confidence, body image, self-harm, grief & loss, lack of normal routines, performance blocks, motivation issues and life transitions. These issues act as barriers to achieving their goals and keeps them stuck in patterns that don't serve their happiness or success.

Sometimes we find ourselves on a journey in life that we didn't expect to find our self on. It can be confusing and stressful and sometimes painful. With some guidance, and some tools to help you manage, you can get yourself on a better path. My areas of specialization are marriage/couples, behavioural based addictions, spouses/partners of addicts, general stress and situational issues. I can be reached at 226-486-1048.

Are you feeling stuck and ready for change? Are you feeling disconnected from who you want to be, and not sure what do to about it? I believe that everyone has strengths and resources to create healing in their own life. We can work together to connect with those strengths and take steps towards becoming the fullest version of yourself. As an accredited music therapist, I am also trained to incorporate music in all forms into psychotherapy sessions. This could be listening, creating, or making music. How we choose to incorporate music depends on your goals, strengths, and interests -- no musical experience is required to benefit.

I specialize in ADHD & Asperger's/Autism Spectrum Disorder and also have experience working with social & general anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidal feelings, substance abuse, video game addiction, stress, and relationship concerns (family, romantic, and friendships). Working with neurodivergent kids, adults, couples, & families is very important to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and struggled a lot without proper support. I get how frustrating navigating the mental health and education systems can be and want to support others in learning to harness their amazing abilities and make lasting positive change.

Life offers us all arduous trials, and seeking support from others is the best tool we've got to manage adversity. Maybe you've been stuck in an old way of thinking or doing things, maybe you're struggling to cope with overwhelming emotions. Perhaps you want to better understand the nature of your struggles. Or perhaps you have been struggling with a mental illness and are looking for specialized treatment. Reaching out to a Clinical Psychologist can help you meet all of these goals. Contact me today to arrange a consultation.

I believe that change is possible. I also believe that sometimes we need help and encouragement to identify the strengths within ourselves to make change happen. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of how I approach my work. A feeling of safety and the building of trust can allow clients to begin to accept themselves, have compassion for themselves and harness their innate gifts and strengths. I understand the power of therapy from personal experience. I learned that healing is possible and the past does not have to rule the present and future.

Are you struggling with the current pathway you are on? Do your struggles or past experiences stop you from living the life you want? Do you need help exploring new pathways, ones that can move you forward in the direction you wish to go? If you have answered yes to any of the questions above, I may be able to support you on your journey. Whether the focus is on the individual journey or with another loved one, compassion, empathy and being non-judgmental are at the forefront of my practice.

Are you stuck in a loop of anxiety, negative thinking, emotional turmoil and/or self sabotaging behaviours? Are you tired of suffering, and feeling overwhelmed, and powerless? Do you feel the need for a real solution but have been frustrated by limited or superficial approaches when you have tried therapy before? Through my experience in treating thousands of clients I’ve discovered what is most effective in solving problems and just as importantly, how to help my clients understand themselves and the root of their problem. I empower them with effective tools and insights so they can also coach themselves as they move forward.
