I help older persons and their family caregivers to navigate the aging journey and care systems, so that you may experience inner peace and embrace this turbulent voyage with hope and meaning.
Do you find that your aging parent is very difficult to care for? Have you noticed your emotions being easily triggered by their actions or comments? Are you having difficult conversations with your family about their care? Taking care of an aging parent can be very emotionally draining but it can also be an opportunity for inner healing, reconciliation, and growth.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with adults and older adults.
I work with adults across the lifespan who are highly motivated to learn more about themselves, active participants in their recovery, and committed to making meaningful changes in their life. Whether they're struggling with a mental disorder, a significant life stressor, relationship difficulties, or challenges at work or home, my clients want to improve how they're coping, not let their struggles define them, and evolve into a better version of themselves.

Areas of specialty include life transitions (separation, divorce), grief and loss, anxiety, and care-giver support (parenting, caring for elderly parents, or partners with dementia, etc.
Sometimes in life, we can feel stuck and have a hard time seeing our way forward. A change in your life can leave you feeling hopeless, empty, confused, or lost. Ending a relationship, loosing a loved one, or finding yourself as a caregiver may throw you on a path that you didn’t expect and have a hard time navigating. Right now, you can't see your way forward, but you want to find a way through the weeds so you don't feel so bogged down and overwhelmed.

I help older adults and their essential caregivers manage the complexities of aging. My goal is to guide your journey towards more joy. Aging is not for the faint of heart. The aging body is not always cooperative. Post retirement can be a challenge as society defines us by what we do. Clients ask: Do I still matter? There can be multiple losses: family and friends, your driver's licence, functional losses, your sense of independence. Last but not least, ageing is a time for reflection: your legacy, meaning-making, regrets, letting-go, and finding a sense of inner peace.

I am a registered social worker dedicated to working with older people’s experiences.
Connected exists to provide counselling specifically for those whose issues are related to aging: a new diagnosis of a chronic, degenerative illness; the loss of a loved one, caregiver stress, adapting to a new living environment, questions around life stage, and the future. Millions of Canadians are considered older in today's society, and while many report satisfaction with their lives, some are also struggling with the normative aspects of aging such as change, loss and other difficult transitions. It's not always easy to talk about the difficulties and you may be looking for support to help you live with these parts of life.

I am a relational psychotherapist who works to help clients find a sense of empowerment around the issues that are troubling them, to help them explore and understand the meaning and impact of these experiences, and to find change. I draw on many theories, and work particularly in a psychodynamic way (seeing how one is impacted in the present by one's past experiences). With clients who would like to work on childhood issues, I help them resolve and integrate those experiences - family issues, relationship issues, trauma. Together we decide whether short or long term work is preferred.

Deciding to see a therapist can be a big, albeit scary step. My role is to help make this experience as smooth, safe and comfortable as possible. Through my counselling work, I provide a supportive and encouraging environment where clients can express themselves and their goals in a non-judgemental way. No question is stupid, no emotion invalid, no goal unworthy. I envision therapy like a road trip – You're in the driver’s seat driving the car, and I’m in the passenger seat with the map helping you find your way. Let’s figure it out together.

How to find hope? If you are feeling overwhelmed, engaging in therapy can help you feel calm again. You have BIG responsibilities! — With little time and less energy! You may feel pulled in many directions ... as a student, worker, caregiver, provider... You may feel distressed, confused, and empty. You may have lost a sense of connection to who you are and what you want - because of BURNOUT, stress, and overwhelm! I too have felt I was losing control; it can be frightening!

Psychotherapy is my second career, and that makes me stronger as a therapist. That's because, in addition to my academic qualifications and clinical training, my own lived experiences as a daughter, a wife and mother, a student, an employee and an entrepreneur help me relate to my clients in so many meaningful ways. Clients relate to my sense of humour, empathy, and desire for growth as a person and as a therapist. And they value my ability to get to the root of the issue and expertise in both practical problem-solving and supporting clients' growth.

I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy that encompasses all aspects of a person's being. Understanding one's functioning and how to navigate change with serenity is an essential aspect of my approach. By combining neuropsychological and psychological perspectives, I have developed a comprehensive framework that addresses the interconnectedness of mind and brain. In my practice, I am committed to embracing diversity and promoting the dignity of each individual.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression right now? Does making even a small decision seem overwhelming? Did you find the pandemic more difficult in ways that you never expected? You’re not alone. For many people, COVID-19 brought to surface old issues that they thought that they had resolved and new problems that they never could never have anticipated. Isolation. Job loss. Family conflict. Grief.

Do you ever feel like you woke up one day and everything just flipped upside down? When did life begin to feel so heavy and out of balance? Are you finding daily tasks to be challenging and feeling isolated or alone? Do you feel overwhelmed and unsupported? Are you having difficulties managing your stress levels? Has the recent change or upcoming change in your life been causing a great deal of stress, anxiety, anger, and/or sadness? Are you wondering if things will ever get better? I recognize how difficult life can be sometimes, especially during those dark moments with no clear direction in sight.
