While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it.

Do you feel stressed-out, burnout and overwhelmed because you overthink & avoid? Are you scared of confrontation & choose avoidance? Is the built-up anxiety, relationship, PTSD, low self-esteem, cultural, identity issues causing chaos for you? How about trusting yourself? Has it turned into self-doubt & self-sabotage? Perhaps you are so hard on yourself that it seems very difficult to even notice how you feel! I get it; I have walked that same hard road too. I understand the emotional turmoil, and for that reason, I hold a non-judgemental space for you to rebuild your authentic self-possessed life as you so deserve.

I offer counselling to adults, families and children at the C'est La Vie Wellness clinic in Bronte, Oakville. As a key member of the C'est La Vie Wellness team, I am committed to offering my clients a non-judgemental, warm and welcoming environment. While working collaboratively with Naturopathic Doctors, Holistic Nutritionists, Life Coaches and more. I support my clients with concrete tools and coping strategies to achieve their goals and support them through personal challenges.

My primary goal is to establish a safe, secure, and non-judgemental environment for clients to share their story. I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can, in each moment of life, given the environment they grew up in and the tools they have learned along the way.

I have been fortunate enough to find my passion in working with and helping others. Connecting with a therapist is a challenging first step, but it is often the first step towards discovery, growth, and change. I aspire to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to uncover their resiliency and explore skills that help them increase their ability to cope with life difficulties. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy for a wide variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-esteem, domestic violence, communication problems, stress management, and life transitions.

Are you feeling lost? Confused? Do you end up in the same place despite endlessly trying to do things differently? Perhaps you hear your internal voice saying, “Life is So Challenging!” It can be difficult to observe our destructive patterns of thinking. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and unsure how to cope with it all. We develop these ways of being from foundations that may have been shaky, wrought with trauma, and from others perhaps unknowingly projecting their issues on to us. Our body then does the coping for us. We can unlearn these patterns, and heal. Perhaps listen to the cues from our body before we makes things worse.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults since 2002.

My practice is LGBTQIA2S-affirming, pro-fat and anti-racist. My areas of specialty are: anxiety, depression, chronic/terminal illness, grief, burnout, body image, relationships, and immigrant issues

We count it a privilege to support clients facing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, career counselling, life transitions, substance use, low self-esteem, or trauma. To accomplish this, we encourage clients to ask...and answer...the WHY question. WHY am I feeling anxious? WHY can’t I make relationships work? WHY can’t I get out of this funk? WHY are my thoughts so scattered? WHY do I have trust issues? WHY I am unhappy? WHY do I allow others to treat me this way? WHY do I abuse drugs, food, or alcohol? WHY do I have trouble loving myself? WHY am I so afraid of being vulnerable?
