Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns, struggling to find better ways to address situations even though you know what you're doing isn't working?

Move forward from painful dynamics. Be the best person you can be. Build the kind of relationships you desire.

Starting a journey towards healing and transformation takes a lot of courage. When you're supported by a caring and skilled professional who upholds ethical standards of this profession, that journey becomes not only manageable but also a source of empowerment. I have built my foundation on empathy, respect, and a profound understanding of how the human mind works. I' am not just a therapist; I' am genuinely enthusiastic about being a guiding presence for those who are dealing with the complexities of their mental and emotional well-being.

In strengthening our capacity for self-compassion we can begin to better understand the origins of challenging feelings such as guilt, shame, anger, regret and sadness. My approach focuses on the practice of self-compassion as the key pathway to psychological flexibility and meaningful change. Through the self-compassion lens, I will walk alongside to help you identify how behaviours, attitudes and beliefs may be negatively impacting your life. I believe that the therapeutic process can be creative and life giving. When self-compassion and acceptance are present we can truly begin the process of change.

We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

Dr. Brene Brown defines connection as " the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued..."

I am a neurodiverse-affirming therapist with seven years of experience supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD, as well as mental health conditions, including Anxiety and Depression. I provide child, teen, and adult individual therapy, as well as coaching to parents and caregivers.

Adversity is one thing that we can come to expect in an increasingly demanding and stressful world. When adversity overwhelms us, it can impact those parts of our lives that are most meaningful. Whether adversity presents as emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflict, addiction, anger or loss; the impact can be devastating, undermining our sense of self and confidence. These issues are at the core of my practice.

My therapeutic orientation is primarily cognitive behavioural. My approach to therapy is collaborative and supportive, with a focus on creating a safe environment for therapeutic change and combining client strengths with evidence-based treatment principles. Specifically, I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment approaches (MBCT, ACT).

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist (Master's & PhD from Queen's University). I offer treatment and assessment services for adults with diverse presenting needs. In individual therapy, specific areas of focus include trauma/PTSD, mood, relationship difficulties, and difficulties with managing emotions. My primary theoretical orientation is an integration/balance of CBT, mindfulness, DBT, EFT, and ACT. I also provide therapy to couples using emotionally focused therapy (EFT-C), which is based on attachment science. EFT-C fosters curiosity toward emotional experiences and connection, creating a secure bond between partners.

I can help you improve your mental health by guiding you through your thoughts and bringing you closer to your path of growth.

I will help guide you through the hardship that you may be bringing to the forefront, whether it be stress or anxiety, I am here to help you.

Are you looking for a confidential and non-judgmental space to vent or problem solve? I believe that everyone has a sense of autonomy and resilience, and sometimes a supportive environment is needed to reinforce those strengths that are within each one of us. I view the therapeutic process according to the client-centered framework, which places empathy and unconditional positive regard at the forefront. I combine this humanistic approach with cognitive techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing.

If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, harassment) it's likely you noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that there was something you should have done to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and people as untrustworthy. You're likely on edge, hypervigilant and feel out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are difficult, you feel haunted by your memories, sex and intimacy aren't as they used to be, and it feels like nothing you've tried works. This is trauma.

I believe that many symptoms are adaptations intended to provide temporary relief from painful circumstances. However in the longer term, these adaptations can exacerbate distress. My practice focuses on helping people to develop more sustainable ways of coping, including examining your beliefs, accepting difficult emotions, and increasing self-awareness. Issues I work with include PTSD, eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and overwhelming emotions. I also work with clients exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation.
