I am passionate about people and their overall well-being. I work with individuals, families, and couples who are facing some of life’s tough realities such as the breakdown of a relationship, divorce, loss, grief, and bereavement. I also work with children and young adults who are transitioning from one phase in life to another and who are finding the change overwhelming and sometimes difficult to manage (i.e. social, parental, relational, etc...). My primary therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral and my specialties include depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, and bereavement therapy.

Suffering is a part of life. It is something we all have in common, yet can feel so alone and isolated in. It can present in many ways, whether it been through depression, anxiety, anger, and it can impact many areas of our lives such as activities of daily living, our ability to function socially and cognitively, and our adaptability to stress. For some, being resilient in the face of struggle comes naturally whereas for others, this is something we must actively work towards. Through the therapeutic process, I strive to help you to uncover your own resiliency and inner strength to persevere in the face of struggle.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA

In the aftermath of trauma so often we can be made to feel isolated and alone. You might be dealing with pervasive issues impacting your most important relationships, such as people pleasing behaviours, a lack of boundaries, and/or self-esteem challenges. It is my hope to create a safe space where all of this can be discussed and processed in a way that encourages you to move forward after all this pain. In reaching out for help you are taking the first step in securing connection and the possibility of post-traumatic growth.

Life brings a series of changes and transitions as well as impactful moments that at times we may feel define our lives. It is within our nature for our minds and bodies to respond to a variety of life stressors and traumatic incidents. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and families who have faced trauma, anxiety, difficulties with changes, amongst other difficulties stemming from transitions and trauma. I support my clients through embarking on a healing process where conditioned thoughts and behaviours rooted in survival and trauma are unlearned and released through an integrative approach.

I believe that you have the ability to live your best and most fulfilling life with some support and guidance. Mental health is one of the most feared topics to discuss because of all the stigma and shame associated with struggling with mental and psychological wellness. My hope is that we can work together to identify, acknowledge and work through any of the struggles you are experiencing. My practice has a few therapists outside of myself, so if for any reason we are not able to make our schedules align or we are not the best fit together, we can definitely offer some other options to support you.

I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples and families who have faced challenges and transitions that many of us experience at some time in our lives.

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.

Life is full of challenges. Sometimes our past and present life circumstances make it hard to manage them. Relationships, life transitions, trauma, fears, grief and loss, parenting worries, anxiety or low self esteem can all trigger feelings of distress and rob you of joy. When it feels hard to cope, it helps to talk. You don’t have to navigate these challenges by yourself. I can support you. You are not alone.
