I am a gentle, warm, supportive, deeply attuned therapist who has more than twenty years of experience helping people with depression, self-criticism, shame, stigma, anxiety, trauma, inter-personal injuries and losses, feeling stuck, and loss of meaning and sense of direction in life.

I have experience working with youth and adults with an emphasis on and gender diverse folks and the LGBTQ2S community. I have supported clients with a range of presenting issues, including anxiety and depression, body image, eating disorders, gender/sexuality-related issues, personality disorders, intergenerational trauma, complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and substance use. My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed, intersectional anti-oppressive framework and I aim to foster resilience and empowerment using a warm, collaborative approach to support folks in meeting their goals.

Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems.

Are you ready to make a change in your life? Searching for a better understanding of why you think/feel/act the way you do? Ready to explore, heal, grow & move forward in life? Fears and anxieties ruled your life for too long? Struggling with ADHD life? Stressed and overwhelmed striving to meet life goals? Unable to shake your perfectionist ways? Comparing yourself to others and feeling just ‘not enough’ in some way? Grasping for control, but can’t get a grip?

As a compassionate therapist using a client-centered approach, I create a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic space for youth, adults, seniors, caregivers, and students to develop the insights, skills, and experiences needed to overcome challenges and make positive changes that last. Using a trauma-informed lens, I work from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based framework; my treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches.

Throughout life, we necessarily craft intricate methods for moving through the systems that shape our world. But what happens when our beliefs and narratives stop serving us, when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with the various aspects of our identity can be exhausting, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that seem dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of guilt and shame.

If you are reading this you are likely going through a hard time in your life. Perhaps you are processing a traumatic event, are trying to get back on your feet after being knocked down for the umpteenth time, or grieving the loss of someone, or something, precious to you? No matter what it is, I would like to try and help you overcome life's obstacles by untangling the knots of thought and feeling that hold you in place.

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma or who have been diagnosed with an illness, are managing a chronic health condition, want to make lifestyle changes, and/or reduce stress. Of course, physical health doesn't operate in a vacuum and is often affected by state of mind, social relationships, finances, work situations, family life and intimate relationships. With this in mind, I work holistically to support people to manage life stressors, mental health diagnoses, relationship problems and more.

Are you feeling stuck, exhausted by overwhelming emotions? Wanting to feel better about yourself, relationships, career, and life? It may be difficult to know where to start, perhaps you’ve been trying to figure it out on your own but still feel stuck. Together we can create a supportive space to help you make things better.

Please read previous description. Thank-you.

Life is a journey without a roadmap, and we are all learning to navigate it in our own unique ways.

I am passionate about getting to know people and feel privileged to be a part of their journey.
