‘Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge” Audre Lorde I believe in different ways of knowing, and I encourage people to tap into their ways of knowing to promote health and well being.

Feeling worried, insecure, or doubtful in your relationships? I want to help you achieve solutions and life changes you are looking for, while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, therapy doesn’t have to always be a painful thing. You’ll have a dedicated space to unload your worries, learn how to navigate challenges with grace, and feel empowered to develop fresh insights about your life. Getting in touch with a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to reach out and see how I can help.

I do integrative work with adults and children (starting with individual sessions with parents - their triggers when it comes to their children), allowing my background in Social Work, Education and Fine Arts to enrich my practice. I incorporate EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work (guided by structural dissociation theory), Theraplay and sand tray techniques as needed. Lenses that guide my practice include trauma, attachment, systems, and anti-oppression. Practice hours are 9-5pm Monday to Friday.

You find yourself struggling to reach your goals and the life you have always dreamt about. The pressures of life block you from finding the freedom you crave. You feel over-whelmed with work, bills, caring for loved ones, and not enough time to do it all. It seems you are trapped. Low self-esteem, worry, and negative thoughts are stuck in your head. The truth is life can be much better. I know what it is like to feel anxious and down, trying to juggle it all to just to survive to the next day. My work is dedicated to making sure my clients don't stay trapped.

You are resilient and carry your own internal strength. You are navigating your identity, experiences, mental health, relationships, and the systems you live in. However, the challenges of your life may be overwhelming. You may feel like you’re on autopilot or you may feel guilty for choosing you. You want to become the best version of yourself - but are finding it difficult to begin. I am a firm believer that you hold the ability to change your life in a meaningful way. And change brings new experiences and perhaps difficulty. Like you, I am learning that it’s okay to not do it alone. Being vulnerable can be difficult.

I see people with a wide array of concerns, who may be experiencing symptoms related to a mental health concern, have history of childhood or adulthood trauma, experiencing relationship issues, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed or stressed in their lives, experiencing grief & loss, infertility, and concerns related to sexuality, gender and sexual orientation. I work from a relational-cultural approach, also incorporating elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (body-oriented), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and EMDR.

Change is inevitable - and it can often be hard. The last few years have presented so much change in our lives. I am committed to supporting women experiencing anxiety, depression and recent or past histories of trauma in finding clarity, meaning and improving their overall quality of life.

I help my clients overcome these difficult emotions by providing a non-judgmental, affirming and safe environment that respects boundaries and offers the space they require for their healing process.
