My clients are looking to lead a balanced life with the perspective and tools to face challenges with resilience and optimism. Addictions, anxiety, depression, or negative thinking might be getting in the way of relationship or life goals. My clients are hoping to find practical problem solving in their sessions with me but also build bigger picture thinking and perhaps even get into the big philosophical questions that are a part of making life feel worth living. They value a genuine, human experience with an open-minded, culturally sensitive supporter, that allows them to tap into their own resources for long term well-being.

Do you ever wonder why you are so anxious? Are you struggling to identify the source of your depression? Do you ever look for answers about the purpose of the situation you are going through in your life? Are you sometimes discouraged, disengaged, demotivated to get back on your feet because you feel you have tried everything?

People who seek my professional help, whether for psychotherapy or psychological evaluations, are often having difficulties with negative emotions (like anger, anxiety, depression, or shame), behaviours that negatively affect their work or relationships (like aggression, addictions, or compulsions), or patterns in their relationships that prevent them from feeling good about themselves or developing more satisfying connections.

When I look for a therapist for myself, I think of what I am struggling to make sense of: the death of a family member, a shift at work, changes in relationships, struggles managing the busyness of life... I'm looking to connect to these thoughts, these feelings, these sensations in a way that can help me first understand what is happening. After all, I never know what to do about something standing in my way if I don't know what it is first. The first thing I want my therapist to do with me is to help me see clearly. Then, we can take the time to figure out what to do about it.

As a Registered Social Worker and therapist, I specialize in helping people work through trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictions. I employ an informed, yet relaxed approach to help the therapy process feel accessible. This approach helps many individuals who are new to, unsure or uncomfortable with the idea of counseling. I use a combination of therapeutic techniques, knowledge of neurobiology, physical health, and our nervous system to help people identify and challenge behaviours, reactions, and patterns they want to change or improve.

Life can often feel chaotic. The reality is that changes are presented to us outside of our control and we find ourselves faced with the task of making decisions and choices that will decide the course of our future. These untimely decisions and choices can leave us feeling bewildered and disoriented. To complicate things further, we can find ourselves stuck in emotional and behavioural patterns that inhibit and hold us back from making the decisions we would like to or that would be best for us. Sometimes it’s difficult to even know what we would like to do or what is best for us. What should you aim towards?

Life is so complicated! Do we need anxiety and depression to add to our list of issues? Stress from our jobs, partners, spouses and family dysfunction just add to the list of everyday pressures. Add childhood and early life traumas and the plate is already overwhelming. Our goal is to thrive in today’s crazy world and overcome the stubborn obstacles that hold us back from emotional happiness.

My style is calm, curious, and nonjudgemental. To deepen your self-understanding and make sense of things, we can discuss your perspectives, emotions, experiences, and give your unconscious or implicit memory a voice. We can also explore more practical information and strategies. Like, how our minds and bodies react to stress, and skills for regulating emotions and managing relationships. My approach pulls from many therapeutic modalities and utilizes techniques supported by research and my experience.

Real change, healing, and growth happens from the inside out. This is a process of mutual empowerment that occurs through our genuine relationships, as we bring parts of ourselves and hidden parts of our experience into the light of a compassionate awareness. In psychotherapy we can create an authentic space of acceptance to explore life's troubles with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path. "A journey of a thousand miles begins where one is and taking a single step."
