With great compassion, and a person centred approach, we will create a safe space for you to gain a better awareness of yourself and your best hope for therapy.

You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and feel like you never quite get it good enough. You’re just.so.tired of beating yourself up. You try so hard. And so far, you’ve faked it pretty well. No one has realized you’re not quite what they think you are. You woke up today: (healthy?) lunch for your kids, enough make-up to cover the flaws, dressed in a (stylish??) outfit that hides that problem area. At work, you managed to get through the day without anyone pointing out how little you know or how many times you felt inadequate (should worked more this weekend!). You come home, ugh. The mess…you just cleaned…why does it already look so bad??

Relationships are hard. When things aren't going well, there's nothing more difficult than trying to deal with another person, especially someone you love. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, heartbroken and alone. It can get you questioning everything you ever thought was real about your relationship and wonder how you'll ever get things right side up again. Don't give up. I know it's not easy, but it can get better.

Registered Psychotherapist, HBSc, RP

Intense emotions can pull you into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed and lost. It is difficult to face life when you are walking around with a heavy chest or feeling anxious. It is likely that you were never taught how to cope with how you feel or understand why a part of you feels empty inside. It can feel uncomfortable to turn to friends and family, fearing how they may react. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, where you can feel heard as you work through difficult emotions. I can provide you with the insight, tools and support you need to bring about healing so that you can approach life in a new way.

You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you. Imagine waking up every day feeling in control of whatever might come your way; knowing that you have the internal strength to deal with and manage it. Imagine being the best version of YOU.
