For 25 years, I have been in practice both within the hospital and community settings. I work with a diverse group of individuals with an eclectic range of issues. I strongly value the relationship between the therapist and the client and so do not adhere to a predetermined approach to therapy; every person's situation is unique and as a result, my approach is tailored to meet individual needs.

Is life feeling difficult or overwhelming? Are you feeling burned out and anxious? Whether these feelings are recent or have persisted for some time, therapy can bring a new perspective and help you find a renewed sense of hopefulness.

Do you frequently experience intense emotions such as anger, fear, or urges to self-harm, or have thoughts of suicide?
Life is too precious to remain in unfulfilling relationships, allow trauma to dictate your choices, or carry the burden of anger and resentment. I am committed to helping you release emotional pain, navigate life's challenges, and discover meaning and purpose in your career, relationships, and all other aspects of your life.

I specialize in promoting positive body image and self-esteem; I attend to clients with trauma, anger management, grief, relationship issues, and work or personal stress and anxiety.
I provide a non-judgmental, confidential and empathetic space where you will be guided in sharing what troubles you, and anything else you choose to discuss. Therapy can be a shorter process, focused on “fixing” a particular issue. Or it can be a deeper exploration of oneself.

Since 2005, I have worked with adults seeking support based on concerns related to difficulties with negative emotions (like anger, anxiety, depression, or shame), behaviours that impact 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.

I believe that everyone has inner strengths and resilience, even when those qualities feel out of reach. Therapy is not about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about rediscovering what’s already within you and building tools that align with your values and goals.

How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
