When you begin to consider seeking assistance, the work begins to minimize your problem.

I take pride in my clients' healing. I look forward to assisting many more people.

Welcome! At some point, you may have experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or depressed. No one is immune to these common, human conditions. Sometimes, we can work such emotions out on our own by changing our lifestyles, reading books, taking classes, or through talking with friends and family members. Other times, we notice patterns that we haven’t been able to change on our own, or issues start to overwhelm us and negatively affect our lives, relationships, and work. I hope to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients are encouraged to seek positive change and growth.

As a therapist, my goal is to assist clients in processing events rather than simply moving past their issues. I believe in encouraging couples, families, and individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and complex trauma to analyze their situations and navigate the difficulties in life. Together, we work on developing tools and strategies to handle difficult emotions and improve overall well-being.

My experience with people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has helped me gain a vast amount of knowledge utilizing behavioural strategies. Over time, I developed an interest in employing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with individuals and youths living with Depression and Anxiety.

Living in survival mode is not only taxing on our mental health, but also our physical health and research over the last few decades continues to shed light on this phenomenon. In my 9 years of supporting children, youth, and adults struggling with trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, acute and chronic emotional dysregulation, self esteem issues, parenting struggles, and more, I've seen the impacts of this first hand. As someone experienced in supporting a parent with their mental illness, and later being diagnosed with ADHD myself, my understanding of these struggles stems both from my personal and professional life.

Often it is difficult to prioritize our needs and reach out for help when we are struggling. I can understand that taking the first step towards seeking support is not always easy. I can provide a safe non judgmental space to all my clients. I take my time in completing the intake process and listen to all your needs. I can offer 90 minute sessions as I understand that 1 hour is usually not enough to share all about your issues and build rapport with someone you are meeting for the first time. I hold my clients' hands through this process so they can trust me to help and support them.

As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.
