Yet we find ourselves unable, unwilling, or reluctant to talk our issues through with family, friends or physician.
We cannot see our own eyebrows until we look into a mirror. Our brain, mind, heart and central nervous systems are always inter-connected. I will give you strategies for functioning more effectively and joyfully even while under stress to become more productive and settled. Together we perfect the shot you need to take for the target ahead of you.

Do you ever catch yourself saying “I’m fine” when you're actually struggling? Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained can make it easy to feel stuck and unsure about the future. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling caught in patterns they can’t fully name -often presenting with anxiety, low mood, shame, trauma, or a sense of low self-worth. But you don't have to carry that weight alone. Whether you know exactly what you want to work on in therapy or have no idea where to start, I'm here to support you in bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

I am a mother of three wonderful boys. My eldest is autistic, and I am his caregiver. I have had my fair share of ups and downs, and speaking from experience, with the proper support, no obstacle is insurmountable. Have you had a problematic past, traumas that may not have been processed, or unhealthy relationships that have left their mark? Are you experiencing a problem that is overwhelming and pulling you down? Are you depressed or anxious and don't know why? Do you feel like you are living but not alive? If so, let me help you!

I am certified in Somatic Embodiment and have completed advanced training in CBT (UofT), DBT (Marsha Linehan), and EFT for couples and families with Sue Johnson.
Life can often feel chaotic. The reality is that changes are presented to us outside of our control and we find ourselves faced with the task of making decisions and choices that will decide the course of our future. These untimely decisions and choices can leave us feeling bewildered and disoriented. To complicate things further, we can find ourselves stuck in emotional and behavioural patterns that inhibit and hold us back from making the decisions we would like to or that would be best for us. Sometimes it’s difficult to even know what we would like to do or what is best for us. What should you aim towards?

Every one of us has the innate capacity to move beyond our repetitive, limiting beliefs and reactions in order to grow and flourish. We can both acknowledge and process our pain and suffering AND want more meaning and engagement in life. Spanning 20 years of practice, I help clients navigate experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also empower and share concrete practices with clients in their pursuit of greater life-purpose, meaning and vitality; to help them step out of their "autopilot" of day-to-day living to feel more alive and joyful.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps self-doubt affects your confidence, or relationships that matter most feel strained. Even when you’ve tried to manage on your own, the weight can remain. Therapy is a place to pause, gain clarity, and begin moving toward the life you want with more steadiness and ease.

One of my passions is supporting individuals through challenging relationships, life transitions, and generational trauma, particularly within families with limited emotional support.
Do you often feel like you walk in the world carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, shame, or sadness? Do you find yourself constantly living in the past or the future, unable to stay in the present moment and take a break? Or when your brain seems to understand everything and has it “under control,” but your body tells a different story? We can’t stop pain from happening in life, but we can choose to face it together.
