You might feel lonely and are in a place that no one around you understands. You might worry often or have little energy to start new habits and make changes. These challenges are impacting your relationships, your ability to work and engage in social interactions. My role is to help facilitate discussions with you that can lead to a new awareness of your concerns and tailor our sessions to what can create positive change for you. I help individuals and couples navigate challenges with well-being including stress, worry, burnout, life changes, perinatal stages, mental health, trauma and addictions.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

How incredible would it be to live with purpose and meaning, to be the co-creator of your life? Working alongside you, I help you explore how you may be walking and showing up in the world that doesn’t allow your authentic, true self to emerge. By shining the light on shadows that may be causing you pain, I help you see your situation in a clear light, illuminating thoughts, behaviours and deeper patterns that you may have been carrying for a long time. I help you make peace with the layers, feelings and pain from the past, and empower you to recognize your freedom and ability to chose your own path, embracing the life you want.

I often say that I come to my work honestly. I know first hand how it feels to suffer deeply, not understanding how to make it better, and being surrounded by those who were as baffled by me as they were supportive. I am incredibly passionate and committed to working with individuals who are struggling with self harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety/mood disorders, emotion dysregulation and relationship challenges. Those who are wanting to live a better life and just don't know how to get there!

I believe that effective therapy takes place in an atmosphere of safety, respect, and caring. When a person comes to therapy, a healing process is already underway. As this process is recognized and strengthened, the client is free to move toward wholeness. I use empathic listening and questions to help clarify the presenting problem and set it in the context of the person's life journey with its healthy call for spiritual and psychological growth. Writing, guided visualization, role playing and art may also be used to bring forth inner wisdom and to explore alternative ways to meet challenges.

Thinking outside the box approach to traditional therapy, because no one individual fits neatly inside a box. Working together, using CBT and neurologic techniques to support you in your area or areas of need, music psychotherapy draws from traditional talk therapy while offering ways to move forward in who you are, both verbally and non-verbally. Using music offers a non-evasive and trusting medium within a clinical session and translates into a coping skill within everyday life. Please contact me for either Telehealth or in-person sessions.

Are you stuck in a loop of anxiety, negative thinking, emotional turmoil and/or self sabotaging behaviours? Are you tired of suffering, and feeling overwhelmed, and powerless? Do you feel the need for a real solution but have been frustrated by limited or superficial approaches when you have tried therapy before? Through my experience in treating thousands of clients I’ve discovered what is most effective in solving problems and just as importantly, how to help my clients understand themselves and the root of their problem. I empower them with effective tools and insights so they can also coach themselves as they move forward.
