I understand how intimidating it can feel to take the first step and reach out for help, and I’m grateful to be part of my clients’ healing journeys. I work from a biopsychosocial framework, recognizing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. My focus is on shaping the process to meet each person’s unique needs. I have a lot of passion and experience working with individuals who are struggling with both substance and process addictions through my many years of working directly with these individuals in withdrawal management centers, inpatient treatment centers and sober living homes across Ontario.

The uncertainty of life and how it may unfold can lead to irritability, anticipation, and worry. These features of anxiety and fear try to protect us from the harmful, imperfect, and unknown aspects of being human. However, these defences can be distressing, suffocating, and overbearing, stealing our ability to find joy, contentment and peace, ultimately impacting our relationship with ourselves and others. I am here for you if you are ready to break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt and move closer to a sense of ease, self-trust and acceptance.

Emotional suffering is painful and lonely. It doesn't have to be. Psychotherapy is talk therapy that promises change through self-awareness. The more understanding we have of ourselves, our feelings, the more choice, fulfillment and peace we have in our lives. Understanding our emotional life contributes greatly to the joy of life. In psychotherapy, we examine our emotional life with the goal of distinguishing functional from dysfunctional patterns of behaviour. Psychotherapy provides a context for close examination of our relational life and can help us uncover relational habits that contribute to our suffering.
