I have remained focused on supporting families and individuals with various needs, with a special dedication to trauma and military communities.
Healing is not just about mending what feels fragmented—it’s about rediscovering the wholeness that has always existed within you.
True transformation happens when we learn to listen to the wisdom of mind and body, recognizing how our nervous system holds onto past experiences and how, with care and curiosity, we can restore a sense of balance and inner calm. Therapy offers the space to gently explore the patterns that have shaped us, to tend to the parts of ourselves that feel stuck or unheard, and to move toward greater integration and wholeness. It’s about working through challenges and creating a new relationship with yourself.

In addition to my general practice, I have received special training in working with first responders and veterans, understanding the unique stressors and traumas that come with these roles.
Life can be unpredictable. Sometimes challenges come out of nowhere, and other times it feels like life is one obstacle after another. We all encounter challenges and hardships; some we manage on our own, while others leave us feeling stuck - but we never have to go through them alone. Emotional distress, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, relationship challenges, and personal growth obstacles can make us feel isolated, but support is within reach. My goal is to offer a space that is truly yours – a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Executive Stress and Occupational Burnout Specialist. Do you feel like you haven’t achieved much? Feel overburdened, lack of excitement, have self-doubt and low motivation? Feel like you are disrupting your family's life? When you become upset, you think about the past, have relationship issues and become distant from your friends and family. You have difficulty concentrating and focusing because you worry about the future. You are overwhelmed with thoughts related to your self-image, so you avoid asking for help. In result, patterns of procrastination increase, which impact your personal and professional growth.

Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

Our experiences with immigration, military life and as a women of colour in the professional world have positively shaped our practice.
Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can't seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don't set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.
