I am passionate about working with people who are seeking professional and compassionate support to address areas of distress in their lives. I believe that people are generally resilient and, at times, require support to inventory their coping skills - by tweaking existing skills and/or adding new tools to their coping toolbox - in order to live balanced lives.

Together, we develop and implement customized treatment plans from all modalities to improve awareness, esteem, acceptance, emotion regulation, intrusive and unhelpful thinking, addictive, compulsive and destructive behaviors, decision and meaning making, assertiveness, compassion, boundary setting, stress, sleep disturbances and family of origin issues.

If you feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and feel that no one around you seems to understand, you are not alone. It can be very challenging to navigate day to day life while trying to make sense of this anxiety and stress. Many changes including breaking up, divorce, job loss, death of a loved one can lead to feeling lost or stuck. Trying to balance two cultures where on one side is your family's expectations and on the other side is western world's norms around dating, relationships and work can cause confusion around identity and self worth.

Are you motivated to make a change? Whether the issue is mood disorders, or recovery from addictions, the will to make changes will be a key ingredient. This is true in couple therapy as well as individual.

As a therapist with over 2o years of experience, I hear clients say they wished they had reached out sooner for support. Often, shame or guilt had gotten in their way, somehow thinking they should be able to make changes alone. Quite honestly, we are not meant to do things alone. I offer treatment for struggles such as family stressors, parenting biological, foster and adoptive children, depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and childhood maltreatment experiences. I work extensively with parents with their own adverse childhood experiences to change patterns from their upbringing and feel more successful in their parenting.

Are you incredibly hard on yourself? Does every day feel like an uphill battle? As a woman, low self esteem can impact all areas of your life. If you are struggling to find the positives, you are not alone. Low self esteem can make you feel scared of failing, feel anxious, or uncomfortable when out in public, cause you to isolate, or make you feel like there is something wrong with you. Feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and overwhelm are very common, especially in this post-pandemic era and it can make your days more difficult to get through. I help women who are struggling with how they feel about themselves to feel better.

I work with parents either in relationship or separated, who are struggling with parenting due to relational break-down or children's behavioural issues. Co-parenting is especially tricky! I can help with strategies and ideas for how to cope, including how and when to tell children you are separating. I offer personal counselling for teens and adults struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I also provide marriage/relationship counselling. The goal is always to take steps towards respect and harmony in relationships with family and friends.

Separation & divorce is not something you considered when you and your partner were planning your lives together. Unfortunately, divorce is common and is an incredibly painful process which you can't typically prepare for. It can generate intense emotions such as anger, confusion, betrayal, loneliness, and hopelessness. Even if you know it's the right decision, you will likely be experiencing grief over what you had hoped your relationship would be. Co-parenting is another level to manage. This process can make you question who you are, and what your life will look like moving forward.

We have a team of passionate therapists here to help you. We will match you with the right therapist for you depending on your unique story and wants. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, transitions (childhood to young adult, career, parenthood, separation etc), dealing with addiction/recovery, diagnosis, or loss/grief... life keeps us guessing. We are here to listen, help you slow it all down, and figure out a plan together.

Depression, anxiety, and stressful circumstances no longer have to control your life and steal your joy. I support individuals, children, youth, and families to restore hope in a safe and compassionate space where you can share, reflect, grow, and journey towards fullness. We can work together to navigate current situations and past experiences so that you can be more connected to what is happening in you, and in those you care about.

My practice is informed by my research, which focuses on promoting the mental health of youth impacted by trauma and ways to equip caregivers with positive trauma-informed parenting strategies.

Therapists are responsible for developing a reciprocal & safe atmosphere for their clients to explore & learn more about themselves & the patterns in their lives; this comes with responsibility to ensure responsiveness to a variety of different types of people. I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years experience. I have worked with children, teens & adults, couples & families in various capacities. I have experience in both clinical/hospital based & community based settings.
