In my years of practice I have provided psychotherapy to clients presenting with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, past trauma, depression, marital discord, affair recovery, low self-esteem/self-worth, and grief. I am committed to helping clients make meaningful changes in their life through using a gentle yet directive approach.

Life can be challenging as we search for acceptance, balance, and health in a world that is too stressful, too busy, and at times, lonely. Do you need a quiet, safe space to gain clarity and meaning, to reflect on relationships and to become a better person? Do you need balance and connection with conversations on the bridge?

I remember so many times, no longer wanting to be alive on this earth. I had 2 children and yes, I wanted to die. The pain was so intense, I could not see any other way out. I cried non stop, dragging myself out of bed in the morning; slept many hours during the day. Not able to see any hope of change in sight. Why do I hurt? Why am I here? Blaming myself for all that had gone wrong in my life. I was emotionally frozen. No hope; even the things I loved, didn't bring me joy any more. Does this sound like you? Do you want to be rid of your pain? Are you tired of living this way? IIT IS possible to change! I did!

Have you ever felt "stuck", not knowing what to do, facing dramatic life changes or dealing with challenging emotions? You may have lost a loved one, experienced transitions such as moving to a different country/culture, separated or divorced. Or you may have gone through abrupt lifestyle changes, because of an illness or loss of employment. If you feel lost, disconnected or hopeless, there is a risk of misuse of medications, alcohol or other substances. However, there are healthier ways of coping with those emotions. Counselling and psychotherapy are effective ways to restore your emotional and mental health.

It can be difficult trying to cope with distressing times on your own. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. My role is to give you caring, non-judgmental support so that you can make sense of your emotions and gain a clearer picture of how your past plays a role in your current relationships. You will begin by telling me about yourself and the reasons why you've come to therapy and then we can explore together new ways of reflecting and interacting that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

Life can be challenging. It can make one feel isolated or even frightened at times. However, no one needs to suffer alone. There is always hope, and with the proper help and guidance, solutions can often be found to the obstacles that we face. I am a caring and empathetic therapist with my primary goal being for you to eventually achieve a more peaceful and happy life. Over the years, I have discovered that with the right support and self compassion, we can be guided to recognize and reconnect with our inner strengths to overcome the obstacles (internal or external) that we face.

Modern life presents challenges: unanticipated changes and problems that appear to have no easy solution. There are times when counselling and support can help. Sharing concerns often leads to greater insight and promotes positive change. As a Registered Social Worker in practise for over 20 years, I am licensed to practise counselling and psychotherapy. Trained as a Child and Family Therapist, I have worked with clients of all ages. My counselling style is client-centered and strengths based.

I provide professional and confidential psychotherapy, using evidenced-based practices. I am a clinical social worker, specializing in the treatment of mental health disorders. I work with children (age 8+), adolescents, families and individual adults. There are multiple reasons why people seek counselling and professional therapy. It may be to alleviate symptoms, to have a safe, confidential space to discuss and process important matters, or, to resolve an emotion that has been plaguing you. It is my belief that client's are the expert in their own lives and therapy can help you regain the ownership and control over your life.

Available either by phone or video conference, I am here to help people including those in health care cope in uncertain times. Situations such as illness, difficulties in the family, a change at work, or some other unforeseen event that leads to changes that you never imagined can be crippling. Long standing needs may also get triggered that make it difficult manage alone. You may begin to wonder "Will things ever get back on track"? Happiness is still possible in times of uncertainty.
