Welcome, I am glad you’re here! I know the world can be heavy and we can feel lost in it, but you are not alone. You are worthy of receiving support and it would be my honour to offer that to you. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Clinical Specialization. I practice from an empathetic relational lens, and work virtually with adolescents, adults, and seniors. I believe having a trusting therapeutic relationship with you is the foundation of great therapy and key to creating meaningful change. We will go at your own pace, and we will take the time to explore the concerns and challenges that you’re experiencing.

What obstacles stand in your path, today or everyday? Maybe these obstacles represent unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, relationship challenges, painful and traumatic life experiences, chronic stress, worry, and overwhelm. I am eager to take the journey with you to explore these obstacles, and to find adaptive ways to overcome them. Rather than navigating around the obstacles, what if we confronted them head-on, and leveraged them as a stepping stone on your path forward?

In my practice, I assist clients with life's difficult challenges preventing them from being present and living a fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to discuss their concerns and be their authentic selves. Through Integrative Counselling, I will use multiple approaches to tailor the counselling process to each individual's needs. I will also address the whole person by taking into account the relationship between the client’s emotional, physical and spiritual states.

I help empathic people thrive emotionally, master their energy, and heal the past. We will work through your current emotional challenges and give you tools to move through and forward. I deal with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, body image, relationship to self, relational issues, past trauma, and aligning to your present/future goals.

While making the decision to seek help can feel intimidating and overwhelming, it is also incredibly courageous, inspiring, and exciting! My aim is to cultivate a culturally sensitive safe space in which you can explore and better understand yourself, as well as help you in addressing challenges in daily living including anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. In using a holistic and client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with you as a unique individual with your own unique needs wanting to live a more purposeful, connected, and fulfilling life.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is such a wonderful step in ensuring your wellness. Navigating our emotional health can be hard. Thank you for trusting me with yours. During our work together, we will explore how we are shaped by our early experiences and how our emotions guide us to better understand ourselves. We won’t be learning quick strategies to coping, conflict resolution or emotion management, but instead we will slow down and work to uncover the underlying patterns that drive our perceptions of the world, our relationships with others, and our relationship with ourselves.

Are you overcome with guilt about your addiction and behaviours? Maybe you find yourself saying that it was the last time...only to find yourself relapsing.

As an internationally certified addiction counsellor and holistic health practitioner, I have helped hundreds of individuals and families treat addiction and heal unhealthy patterns. Using evidence-based therapeutic methods, I’ll work with you to create a recovery path that fits your lifestyle and goals. Recovery means something different to everyone. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
