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.

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.

Navigating pain from trauma, relationships, and life in general, can often feel like an overwhelming burden, creating a heaviness that doesn't seem to go away. Sometimes, those around us struggle, or refuse, to understand our experiences or offer their support. When this happens, it is common to have feelings of self-doubt and frustration, wondering why it's so challenging to simply "move on." However, the reality is much more complicated than that, and we often unfairly take on more blame and self-criticism than we deserve. You don't want to feel like this anymore, and so reaching out for support is a brave step toward self-love.
