Are you a teen or young adult who often feels lost and frustrated with aspects of yourself and your life? Do you struggle with anxiety, stress, conflict, insecurities or other mental health challenges? If so, I want to show you how you can transform your inner feedback to one that is supportive, strong and beneficial. How you can change patterns that are no longer serving you and create a life where you feel fulfilled and in control of your emotions, thoughts and behaviors.

I'm inspired to see individuals and families grow and sustain positive change. I value my work with adolescent and adult clients and appreciate the energy and determination that they bring to sorting out their feelings, goals, and relationships. My approach to working with individuals and families is rooted in exploration and collaboration. I use warmth and humour, alongside years of clinical experience and knowledge, to help clients better understand themselves and their experiences. I work in partnership with families to enhance communication and connection.

I’m so glad you’re here. You’re not alone. The path to pregnancy and parenting is often not how we imagined it would be. At times it can feel overwhelming, uncertain and even frightening. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist I accompany my clients to explore their journey through the creative process of art-making. No artistic skill is necessary and materials are provided. Together we work at your pace, fostering a safe space to heal, and integrate challenges. I aim to support you in cultivating awareness and transformation, allowing you the freedom to re-imagine new spaces, to grow into your potential.

When you are facing challenges in your life, family, studies, work, relationships, adolescent growth; or when you are experiencing difficulties during your development, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and hindered from fully embracing your optimal life.

I am shaped by the belief in the intrinsic strength each of us as humans possess. Perhaps you are feeling exhausted by your efforts to feel better and heal from anxiety, depression, body image/food concerns or an eating struggle and seek meaningful long-lasting change. Through a gentle down-to-earth approach, I guide you through a compassionate healing process deepening your relationship with your self and to life, cultivating inner freedom.

My practice has a comprehensive focus on mental heath, marriage couple and family therapy and family mediation. Having been trained in a hospital setting, I work effectively with depression, anxiety disorders, addictions and most mental health disorders. In addition, I have a comprehensive focus on marriage, couples and family therapy focusing on couples experiencing a high level of marital conflict, relationship breakdown or who want to improve the quality of their relationship. Restoring healthy relationships and supporting healthy family systems is one of my core passions! Do you feel you need this?

I work with teens, adults, and couples struggling to cope with the stresses of life, the intricate process of addressing trauma, building essential coping skills, and fostering a sense of empowerment. I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space, where clients can openly explore their emotions, experiences, and struggles. Whether you’re a teenager grappling with the complexities of adolescence or an adult carrying the weight of past experiences, I want to meet people where they are at. With a focus on empowerment, I can help clients tap into their inner strengths and resources by working collaboratively with me.

We offer adult, child, teenager, family and couple's counselling. Focusing on the strengths, abilities and feelings of our patients, we can help them move forward and make positive changes in their lives. We help to improve relationships, behaviours and academic performance, as well as to deal positively with difficult situations and work on emotional issues. As we’re a group of professionals from different cultural backgrounds, we can offer services in different languages, and with an understanding of different cultures. Our services are covered by most insurance companies and we offer reduced fees through our internship program.

I am a registered Social Worker with Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.

My professional experience includes working with families and individuals involved with the child welfare system, families experiencing parent teen conflicts, separation issues, depression, anger, divorce, contact issues, stress, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, relationship challenges.

As the owner of NuChoice Counselling and Assessment Services Inc, I provide a wide range of innovative person-centred counselling and assessment services that enhance and transform the lives of individuals and families. I provide individual, relationship, and family counselling for individuals who struggle in a variety of areas including depression, anxiety, conflict resolution, parent-teen conflict, and so on.

Does it feel like difficult emotions are in control of your life or your household? See the path forward but can’t seem to take the needed steps? Is traditional office therapy a barrier for you or your teen and you want to try another way? Together, we can create a space and a relationship to make change for you and your loved ones. By exploring practical strategies and trying them out together, rather than just talking in the abstract, we can piece together the puzzle to not only better understand what is wrong, but find the tools to make it right.

Are you overwhelmed by stress and anxiety? Do you feel like you're done, fed up, tired of the fighting? Are you unsure of how you got to this place, and unable to move forward? Struggling to communicate or to express yourself in relationships? Whether it's a marriage, your family or just personally, we can help work together to change your life, one step at a time.

Does life feel like a never-ending uphill battle? Do you grapple with feeling like things will never change, or find it tough just getting through each day? The issues that are affecting your life can manifest in various ways – anxiety, mood disorders, depression, relationship issues, grief, or feelings of low self-worth. This can be exhausting. I've encountered many individuals who've felt stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of understanding and guidance. From adults, children, teenager, couples, to families, every story is unique, and every challenge deserves its own tailored approach.

Too often, people endure their obstacles alone, convinced that they must shoulder their burdens in silence. Whether it's a child struggling with emotional regulation, a teenager navigating the complexities of anxiety amid life's changes, or an adult wrestling with depression, everyone can benefit from specialized support at various points in their lives.

I believe that families are the experts of their own experience, and that children and teens have innate wisdom about their own thoughts and feelings. My goal is to create a supportive space for this wisdom to come forward, fostering healing and resilience that extends beyond the therapy space. My individual work with children and teens is complimented by evidence-based parent consultation; equipping caregivers with tools to better understand their child's behaviour, strengthen family bonds, and co-create solutions to problems.

Are you concerned about your child/adolescent? Have they experienced divorce/separation, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, grief/loss, attachment issues, adoption, suicidal ideation, aggression, or self-esteem issues? Are they having issues with emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, coping skills, problems sleeping/eating or school problems. You may feel lost in knowing where to turn for help, and how to re-connect to your child. When children experience difficulties in their lives, they are often unable to express their feelings in traditional talk therapy.

My ideal client struggles with anxiety, depression, or trauma, and may also have a chronic illness like diabetes or be dealing with addiction. They need a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk about their feelings and practical tools to manage their symptoms. Their goals include reducing anxiety and depression, managing their chronic illness better, and overcoming addiction. They want to work with a compassionate therapist who understands the link between physical and mental health, using evidence-based therapies to help them achieve a balanced and fulfilling life.
