I have lots of experience supporting folks navigating their relationships , self esteem struggles as well as ADHD and coping challenges.
Your mind is always going—jumping from one thing to the next, struggling to stay focused or follow through. Deadlines sneak up on you, routines feel impossible, and no matter how hard you try, it’s never quite enough. Maybe you turn to substances for relief, or your performance in school, work, or sports is taking a hit. ADHD, addiction, and life’s pressures can make everything feel overwhelming. You’re not lazy or broken—you just need the right strategies to harness your strengths. Imagine finally feeling in control, clear-headed, and confident in your abilities.

I am a registered psychotherapist with an integrative approach. My counseling considers all aspects of health: mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the inherent dignity and strength of the human person. I draw on these to help you manage your challenges and transitions, and to find new balance and purpose in life. I worked at CMHAWW, where I specialized in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have also worked in the addictions programs at St. Michael's Hospital and Humber River Hospital, where I specialized in concurrent disorders.

Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event that has impacted your ability to focus or cope with the everyday? Trauma continues to live in our systems long after the event has happened, sometimes remaining hidden until something triggers it to come to the surface. Trauma can reveal itself in a variety of ways, including physical pain, lead to anxiety, depression, attachment or relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, and can impact our perceptions leading to unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. My clients report a reduction in their symptoms, describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more present.

Do you feel “numb”, overwhelmed, or emotionally checked-out? Do these feelings make it hard to show up for the people you care about in your life? Feeling like you don't have it “figured out” while you struggle can lead to feeling confused, angry, and ashamed that you're not “good enough”. These harmful feelings can result in addictions, workaholism, low self-esteem, relationship/family issues, and hopelessness. Talking with a therapist can help calm overthinking, provide a sense of hope, and gives you the chance to share what's really on your mind.

Top specialties: trauma, anxiety, relationship/attachment issues. I believe our life events shape us into who we are today. We weren’t BORN with an inner critic, perfectionism, or people-pleasing tendencies! Something happened in our lives that taught us those behaviours. Maybe we learned that it’s less painful to avoid confrontation than to risk rejection or failure. Maybe we learned that to ensure safety, we must be hypervigilant, constantly looking out for threats. Those behaviours likely helped you survive at one time, but now, they might be causing chronic anxiety, difficulties in your relationships, and low self-esteem.
