Life rarely goes according to plan, and in our most difficult times, many of us have not had the support and tools needed to navigate losses, transitions, and traumas. My role is to help you find your way through hardship, while expanding your capacity to meet challenges from a place of resilience and acceptance. Your struggles are not due to your own inadequacy; rather, I believe all behaviour makes sense on some level, when viewed from the right perspective. I work from a holistic stance that accounts for the individual, cultural, and societal factors affecting each of us uniquely, and therefore requires a personalized approach.

As a high achiever who is used to pushing yourself—as an artist, athlete, or someone with big life goals to chase—anxiety, burnout, or feeling stuck can feel very jarring. Maybe you're dealing with shame, questions around your identity, struggling to set boundaries, or you’re exploring existential questions about who you are and what you want in life. Together we can explore what truly matters to you as an individual, or as a couple within your relationship, and work on building a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful, even amidst the chaos. Let's uncover what might be holding you back so you can move forward with confidence.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

Are you someone who has tried talk therapy but is still feeling "stuck"? Are you looking for an experience of therapy that includes your body, spirit, mind, and helps you embody your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a nervous system informed, trauma-oriented approach that goes beyond talking and offers experiential practices that can gently reshape the survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. Somatic Therapy helps us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can experience our aliveness. This work is gentle, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassion-focused, nature-based, and decolonial approaches.

I believe seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care, especially when facing the isolation of anxiety, depression, or other challenges. Many people feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures, uncertain about their path, and in need of a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I work from an intersectional approach, realizing how various aspects of identity—culture, race, gender, and more—shape our experiences and well-being. No single part of our identity defines us; instead, I see each person as a whole, complex individual, and I work alongside them to uncover their strengths, foster growth, and create meaningful change.

You may not yet know what you are looking for. All you know is that you want something to change. Or, you know exactly what you are looking for, what specifically you want to change, and this is why you are seeking someone like me. Either place is a great place to start. My job is to support you to envision the life you long for that you are not yet living, and to support you to take the steps to create it. You can do this. Along the journey, it is helpful to have a guide and a map. This is where I come in. I can provide both.

Still today, there can be a great deal of negative stigma associated with mental health struggles and that can make it difficult for people to seek therapy or know where to start. I was inspired by a close friend years ago to seek therapy even though I was so reluctant. I chose counselling as a profession because I want to provide the same safe, non-judgmental relationship for my clients that helped me to break down that stigma in my own therapy experience. The clients I work with are ready to do explore and do the work to gain a better understanding of their struggles and move forward with better tools for managing them.
