The unexpected has happened and you are not sure where to turn next, who to talk to and how to best support your child. Traumatic events or personal losses can interrupt our sense of safety and direction. I’ve been lucky enough to play and work with children and youth walking this path who are trying to make sense and make meaning of what has happened. I have a Masters degree in Social Work, and I am a registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW. I’ve been in practice for 25 years and have trained in various approaches including attachment based, EMDR, TFCBT, Mindfulness, Yoga Therapy, MST, and various play and energetic modalities.

Through an integrative trauma-informed approach to therapy, I will assist you in identifying your strengths, overcoming challenges, learning effective coping mechanisms, and working together collectively to bring about positive changes that, in turn, can help to bring you inner peace.

Making meaning of our lives can become difficult when problems arise that we least expected. What if we have never experienced these things and coping isn't going so well, what do we do? What if the old familiar things keep happening? Sometimes our usual ways of staying focused and present are interrupted, even if we have managed before. I have been part of many healing journeys and one thing is the same in all of us: we must move through the difficulties with support in order to get back to our present. I am here to help you do just that.

I can relate to the many issues and needs of others. Some experiences are so traumatic that we may actually feel a sense of hopelessness. Some of us need help in working through trauma, self-esteem, or confidence. We can create a healthier and more adaptive life where we overall feel better and when we start to heal and feel good we are going to enjoy the many things that we have in our lives a little bit more.

I came into the perinatal mental health field after recognizing that there was not enough support for women entering this new and important chapter of their lives. The gap in mental health support during the perinatal period was striking. As a midwife, I felt as though I never had enough time to spend with these new moms and parents, and I knew there was so much more support required. I want parents to know that mood struggles during this period are much more common than most people realize, you don't have to struggle alone.

We all face challenges in life and sometimes we need help along the way. Painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected, stuck in heavy emotions and struggling to change unhelpful patterns within ourselves and our relationships. You deserve to be heard, validated and understood, so that you can share your story and begin to heal. Healing and growth are possible, even after painful events. Together, we can make connections between the past and the present, build your self-compassion and find new ways of coping. I hope to support you as you gain new insights into yourself and discover a new way forward.

Coming to therapy may feel daunting and overwhelming. These feelings or any others that may arise are entirely normal. Reaching out for support may be a big step and moment to celebrate. I work from a trauma-informed lens where we ask, "What happened to you?" instead of "What is wrong with you?". I understand that your life experiences have impacted how you see and interact with the world. Your perception, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviours are present to keep you safe and are valid. Sometimes, what was once adaptive is no longer serving you.

Sometimes we go through hard things and don't know how to handle them or ourselves. Change is hard to make but possible and its easier to do when your being honest and with someone supporting and helping to navigate the things. If you want to do some digging, exploring yourself, connecting some dots, hearing strategies around your automatic responses to things I like to do that too. I support clients in learning about themselves and I especially enjoy working with clients who are diagnosed or suspect they have ADHD. The uniqueness connected with ADHD can be challenging at times but also be an amazing source of creativity!

Strength-Based Counsellors
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
