Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.

I believe that each person has their own set of strengths and should be treated as a whole person - not a problem to solve. I see therapy as a collaboration where you and I can work towards the version of yourself you want to be. Sometimes this process can feel overwhelming and daunting so I strive to offer a welcoming and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and values - and grow as a person. I have more than five years experience supporting people with substance use and mental health concerns. Sometimes we can feel trapped by our past, but there is always a way to move forward.

Your little one is inconsolable. You've checked the diaper, fed them, they're warm but NOTHING is helping. You go for a hug, they push back and the crying turns into screaming. Then you feel it. Your patience is wearing thin. The anger is rising up. And that nagging voice gets louder, "You should know how to fix this. You're failing. A good mom would know what to do." This isn't the first time either. It's becoming a pattern and before you know it, you've turned into the mother you never wanted to be. This time with your little one is short and you feel like it's slipping away because your emotions are out of control.

Life can have way of disconnecting us from what matters to us, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, and unfulfilled. It’s easy to feel stuck, hopeless, and adrift, but change is possible. Sometimes it takes deliberate, meaningful steps forward. Sometimes, we just need someone to hear our story and validate how we feel. Sometimes we need tools to cope with hard emotions, and other times we need to hear the crucial information those feelings are trying to tell us. Wherever you’re at, I’m here to help.
