I believe that everyone deserves to live a happy and meaningful life. Seeking out support can be difficult, and so I appreciate the courage and vulnerability of clients when it comes to doing so. I am passionate about fostering a positive therapeutic relationship and collaboratively working with clients to help them meet their therapeutic goals. I offer support in an environment that is safe, non-judgmental, accepting, and empathetic, which can nurture clients’ independence, trust, growth, and healing. I utilize an integrated, holistic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and person-centred approach.

At times, life can be challenging and complicated leaving you feeling lost or stuck. Depression has stolen your joy and now you don’t feel like doing things you once loved. Anxiety overwhelms you and it’s hard to focus on anything else. Your self-esteem is controlled by an inner critic that tells you you’re not good enough. Putting yourself first sounds great but then guilt sets in. So you keep going, always there for everyone else, but who is there for you? I realize opening up and introducing your most vulnerable self to someone new can be scary, even just the thought of it. With me, therapy is a safe and judgment free space.

In this fast-paced, stressful life we are sometimes presented with unexpected internal or external events that give us reason to pause and seek a safe place for reflection, stillness and healing. Whether you are facing memories of traumatic childhood experiences, a major life transition, the devastating loss of a loved-one or a personal challenge that threatens your connection with self and others, you have come to the right place. I believe that within suffering, there are always opportunities for learning and growth. Let me guide and assist you in your healing journey with over thirty years of experience and expertise.

I provide a safe environment where you can say what you need to say, without fear of being judged.

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University with over 23 years of experience in a hospital setting and 17 years supporting those affected by cancer.

First thing: congrats on making it this far! The step(s) you've taken here today are already a major accomplishment. I know how difficult it is looking for and finding help.Are you feeling overwhelmed, under energized, or like you're stuck in a rut? Do you have difficulty controlling or managing your emotions and find yourself feeling frustrated or irritated more often than not? Trouble reaching your goals, and worrying about what tomorrow will bring? These experiences are so common that they are predictable, and what's even more predictable is the effects that they have on a person’s mood, motivation, and self esteem.

Our human NEED is to feel accepted, that we belong, and to have inner freedom. It takes courage to seek help and you have just taken the first step! You sense that something is missing and you want things to be different. Life can be overwhelming with uncertainty, demands, and expectations from others. This affects your ability to regulate your feelings towards others and within yourself. This can lead to feelings of incompetence, frustration, sadness, loneliness, and irritability.

Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.
