If you are looking to create a deeper understanding of yourself, I would like to invite you into exploring psychotherapy. I work with youth and adults who are interested in becoming more of ‘their authentic self’, want to deepen their social-emotional-spiritual connection, and release any hurts, burdens, pains they have had to carry throughout their childhood and adolescence. If you are looking for ways to support your own well-being, manage stress and better understand your emotions/reactions, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, can create that space for you to experience more harmony, clarity and direction.

Many folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their emotions or behaviours. They find themselves feeling triggered in relationships, or shy away from sharing their authentic selves with others. Some have significant struggles with their focus and can't consistently complete tasks they know are well within their abilities. When we don't know how or why this happens, a sense of powerlessness and shame creeps into our lives. Trust me, I understand confronting these issues is challenging and vulnerable. Changing these patterns is very possible and may be some of the most important work you do in your life.

Owning your voice and feeling good enough within yourself & feeling safe in your body, is your birthright. Deeply validating yourself and navigating your life while being in touch with what feels truly right for you means you get to create and live life on your terms authentically. Your peace begins when you let go of needing validation from people who make you feel unsafe. Healing the impacts of narcissistic abuse, such as toxic shame, resentment, constant self-doubt, self-gaslighting, confusion, and self-abandonment, transforms your life. Healing this trauma means you will feel safe to be your authentic self.

I recognize that sometimes what we truly need is the space to express ourselves, our emotions and our fears, but this can be both scary and vulnerable. My aim is to create a safe and secure space where we can openly confront fears together and then learn new ways to overcome them. I have an extensive experience with anxiety and depression, bereavement and stress management and specialize with self-esteem work, life transitions and lack of motivation. I have worked in and am comfortable with both short and long-term counselling in both private work and within a group setting.

Have you experienced a loss in your life? Any type of loss can be painful, isolating, life changing, and sometimes confusing. Or maybe you've experienced a life transition. Life transitions can include starting a new job, moving to a new country, starting a new relationship, or a loved one becoming ill. Life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, angry, or directionless. Even joyous transitions can be impactful in unexpected ways. These feelings are very normal, and a way of our bodies telling us that we’re not okay. What we often need during these times is a space to heal. Healing starts from feeling safe.
