Nothing ever really prepares us as parents for the times when things don't go as we had hoped for with our child - particularly in regard to developmental, behavioural, or mental health issues that we are faced with. I'm here to help shoulder some of the weight you've been carrying, and provide a bridge for you in helping your child to reach their full potential. Everything can be broken down into small and manageable steps, and even small shifts can produce significant change and offer much needed relief. Please note that I am currently focusing on children who are 0 to 5 years of age, as well as working through my waitlist.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a MA in Psychology from McGill University. All of my services are directly supervised by a registered Psychologist who is an ongoing source of clinical guidance and feedback in my work. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances as important predictors for therapy success, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

Many of us go through life experiences that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and struggling to relate meaningfully with others.

Whether working with individuals or couples, I prioritize creating a safe, warm, and attentive space to explore your challenges and generate new ways of being with yourself, with each other, and in the world.

Therapy is not about eliminating all problems or "fixing" yourself, but is simply a way of stepping back from your life in order to examine it more deeply. My approach encourages change that emerges from understanding - rather than fighting with- yourself.

I am grounded in trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and social justice frameworks, and have worked extensively with trauma and substance use in a community mental health setting.
