Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. However, we often feel that we are alone in our suffering, that no one can relate to our experiences, or that we don’t deserve to find peace in our lives. This can create feelings of frustration and despair, and we begin to feel stuck, unable to connect with others. Fear of judgement, along with our vulnerabilities can keep us from reaching out when we need it the most. I am confident that every person holds an innate understanding of what they need to heal and grow. Grounded in compassion, humility, and curiosity, my aim is to co-create a safe, open space for self-exploration.

With support and guidance I believe that you can not only rediscover yourself, but also find the meaning you have been searching for.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Welcoming clients from all over Ontario. Life can sometimes present struggles that we can't overcome alone. Moving from survival to flourishing is easier when you have someone walking the path with you. I want to help clients achieve their hopes and dreams through compassionate, supportive, collaboration and problem solving. Build confidence, self-understanding, and motivation through sessions where we dive deep into behaviours, perspectives, core beliefs, and the negative thought patterns that might be holding you back.

Accepting new clients for both online & in-office sessions! Sometimes we lose ourselves in relationships, work, family, etc. We become stuck and keep repeating the same patterns over again - patterns and habits that we don't even like doing anymore. Therapy is a wonderful vessel to reconnect with yourself, your wants, and your needs. Therapy can also be useful if you're trying to make big decisions and leaps in your life and want to openly talk about your options with a non-judgmental third party.
