Are you living life on a roller coaster with no breaks? I hear you.. I work with clients who have a history of childhood trauma, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and relationship/attachment struggles. Envision a life with fewer intense mood swings from 0 to 100, or your life not being dictated by your past childhood traumatic experiences. If living in survival mode is taking a toll on you, then I’m here to help. Growing up feeling invisible, unworthy of live, or invalidated can leave deep emotional scars. Together, we can work toward transforming your life, so you can rediscover what is means to feel truly alive again.

Partnership is at the heart of my work. I believe through collaboration and compassion, clients have the opportunity to partake in a therapeutic process where they feel safe and empowered to make the changes they are hoping to see. My aim in our work together is to support you in healing, while we work together to develop coping strategies to navigate current and future stressors. I practice from a culturally sensitive perspective, honoring the diversity of my clients and their experiences.

I believe that each one of us is the sum of all the journeys we have taken and all the people we have met along the way. We navigate peaks and valleys, traveling up or downstream. At different junctures in our lives, we find ourselves in an ‘in-between’ not knowing which path to take. It is through my own journey and the ones I have taken with others that I have come to bear witness to the strength, courage, and wisdom we each have within us. In my work with individuals, couples, children and youth, I explore challenges, crisis, loss and struggle within the context of one’s interpersonal relationships.

The new meaning and insight that we gain from this exploration helps us accept and love our unique selves, and build deeper relationships with our loved ones.

Cultural values, family history and rigid expectations about our future can shape the stories we have about ourselves. These stories can begin to feel heavy and leave us feeling “not good enough.” I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-worth and relationships. Together we work to understand your relationship with yourself, and the impacts of your environment on your wellbeing. I support in developing healthy boundaries and coping strategies. I use both exploratory methods of Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy as well as skills based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
