If you’re struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Life can feel incredibly heavy, and if you’re here, you might be carrying more than you can manage on your own. No matter how dark things may seem, I want you to know that there is hope and I'm here with you. It's okay to feel lost, overwhelmed or hopeless right now. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can express exactly how you're feeling — without fear of judgement or the pressure to be "okay". Your story matters, YOU matter. I'm here to listen, to truly understand your experience, and to help you find a way through the messiness of life.

The experience of trauma creates a disconnection from one's self by forcing us into a predicament where we have to chose between acceptance and authenticity. As your psychotherapist, I employ a highly conversational and relational, trauma focused approach, to foster insight into the deep-seated roots, and functionality of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. My goal is to help you understand the ways of being you adopted to survive, and reconnect to and reclaim your authenticity.

We all may experience difficulties and stresses in life that can negatively affect how we feel about ourselves and our ability to live or lives. When problems take hold, we can feel stuck. It can be helpful to have a place to explore what is causing difficulty and find solutions to move out of the problem. I work with people who want to take their lives back from the effects of the problems they are stuggling with. Some examples of the problems I have helped clients with are depression, anger, grief, impacts of trauma, relationship difficulties, work/school related stress and effects of injustice.

We often read, “The answer lies within.” This can be frustrating for some because if it were true, then why see a therapist? Because I believe that while the answer does lie within you, it is buried under other parts of you: the “I shoulds,” the “I shouldn’ts,” the “I can’ts,” “the what ifs,” and generally, the anger, fear and stress that plagues us all. It is my goal as your therapist to harmonize the different parts of you by offering you a safe, supportive,compassionate environment where you can explore all that makes you, you. Together, we will create concrete steps to alleviate your suffering. Evening apts available.
