I take an integrated, trauma-informed approach to therapy, blending concepts from neuroscience, somatics, and my experience coaching to develop a plan that's as unique as my clients.
Are you an overachieving, people-pleasing human who has a hard time saying no, tends to overwork, is secretly riddled with anxiety, has a challenging relationship with your parents, has difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries, and feel like you're riding a roller coaster of big emotions? Like the Type-A person that you are, you've tried all the things to feel better: self-help, exercise, yoga, meditation, healthy eating, new planners, podcasts...but you're still stuck. You thought it was a phase, but now it's starting to affect your relationships, and you're finally feeling ready - and willing - to make a real change

I use a collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach, focusing on building a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship with each client.
Do anxiety and fear dictate your decisions, keeping you stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who you truly want to be? Are you trapped in obsessive-compulsive rituals, feeling like they’re stealing time from your life? Struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, uncertainty, or a constant need for control? You are not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and/or difficulty managing the stressors or triggers in your life?
Sometimes previously learned patterns of coping with emotional distress can become outdated and unhelpful. We can work together to address the underlying painful emotions that keep you stuck in unhealthy self-sabotaging cycles. I also provide couples therapy to help address the interpersonal dynamics that keep you and your partner stuck.

They use a wide range of tools including mindfulness approaches, trauma informed methods, and cognitive approaches.
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 offer client-centred, trauma-informed counselling services to people who have experienced trauma, addiction, life challenges, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
I believe that healing comes from within and that each person is the expert of their own life. Sometimes we may feel lost on the path that we are on or that we may need support from somebody neutral to our situation. I can assist with guiding people to find themselves, explore and overcome life's challenges, and learn more about themselves. Being validated and understood is often lacking in most people's lives and counselling is a great space to express ourselves safely.

As an experienced, registered social worker, I use a trauma-informed narrative therapy approach to working with people.
Many people have become more aware of their mental health needs, but aren’t always sure what to do with this new awareness. Making sense of how past events may be continuing to impact you, identifying preferred ways of living, determining what you've got to put up against any mental health concerns present in your life, and mapping out how to live into the person that you want to be, are all things that can be accomplished in therapy.

I specialize in helping young adults and older adults navigate life's challenges, whether it's significant transitions such as career pathway, separation, or loss, or addressing mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.
With over 20 years of experience in community mental health, I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) dedicated to supporting youth, adults, and neurodiverse individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery. My approach is rooted in the belief that all behavior has meaning. While children and youth often express struggles through behavior, adults may show signs of distress through anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, or family conflict. I work alongside my clients to uncover deeper root causes, providing them with valuable insights to support the change they seek.
