I trust pain is inevitable, but suffering is an option. In fact, what is right with us is greater than what is wrong with us. I help clients access their resilience, motivation, self-agency, self-determination, and inner goodness to reconstruct their narratives & live meaningful contented lives.

I have been in practice as a clinical social worker for over thirty years. I graduated with a Masters degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University in 1979. I also have an undergraduate degree in social work . I specialize in individual marital and family counselling. Counselling is offered but not limited to issues of grief,loss,anger,anxiety,depression, post traumatic stress ,life transitions, separation and divorce, infidelity, child care issues, parenting and relationship issues. I also offer ante and post natal counselling such as post partum and ante natal issues of depression and anxiety. My clinical approach is eclectic.

Parenting is hard, and no matter how much we ask, it doesn’t come with a manual. Childhood anxiety, depression, ADHD, teenage angst and everyday challenges are on the rise and learning where to go for help can be overwhelming. Despite our efforts, the resulting feelings of frustration and despair are very real. I have been there myself and understand that, like with learning any new skill, parenting takes work. Learning tools and applying them consistently while faced with numerous challenges requires support, compassion and gentle guidance. What's important to know is that you are not alone and that there is support available.

There may be times where a person may feel so overwhelmed by their feelings or external circumstances that they are crippled from living the life that they desire and yearn for. These feelings or external circumstances may present themselves as negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, traumatic events, family dynamics and so much more. There is a need and desire for a safe space where one can process through external circumstances and how they impacted them; navigate through those difficult and overwhelming emotions with empathy and compassion; and where they can be their authentic selves without the worry of judgement or rejection.

New Mind Counselling Center was established to provide psychotherapy and counselling services to individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, identity issues, and poor self-esteem, couples experiencing conflicts and problems, such as issues with communication, trust issues, infidelity, and family of origin issues, and high conflict families.

I have been working with individuals and couples in academic, hospital and private settings since 2003. I completed my Master's and Doctorate degrees in counseling and psychotherapy from the University of Toronto. I continue to be committed to professional learning and development to ensure being a competent and inclusive therapist. I practice relational-cultural therapy focusing on how individuals relate to themselves and to others.

You live together but you're distant, isolated, and lonely under the same roof. Hostility infects all corners of your home. Infertility has taken its toll. Infidelity is a severe breach of commitment and trust. Healthy, positive and rewarding sexuality is not part of your couple life. Parenting exacts its price. You contemplate divorce or separation but you're unsure that's the right path. Nearly every couple faces challenges. The difficulties can get so overwhelming they can make both of you feel helpless and directionless. In our stress filled, anxiety-driven lives it helps to talk with a professional about your relationship .

In the beginning stages of our therapeutic relationship , I strive to learn and understand who you are and where you’re coming from in order to better define your goals and aspirations together.

Over the years I have specialized in working with adults to help them thrive in relationships and social situations. My goal is to help individuals and couples achieve, and most importantly, sustain healthy relationships. Specializing in social anxiety and assertiveness, dating and relationships, as well as family planning and parenting. My number one objective is to provide you with the proper strategies to have successful interactions with the important people in your life. My practice includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Approaches, Young Schema Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
