The decision to seek therapy is you choosing to uncover courage and shed stigma. It is a bold step toward self-discovery, meaning-making and healing. Let's make meaning and heal together. My services provide a non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. Let's embark on the journey together, whether you're looking for intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) or space for self-discovery.

I am passionate about helping others discover how their or their child's unique brain learns best. I primarily work with the families of children and adolescents who are struggling in school, whether in their learning, attention, or behaviour. I especially appreciate working directly with families throughout the assessment and offering strategies to best support their child's needs. I also enjoy working with adults who feel that they slipped through the cracks in school, and would like to know more about their unique learning challenges.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

What is the MORE you are searching for? Many people seek out therapy because they are tired of their lives or they want to get rid of the words in their head that beat them down. They want to find a better them. More can mean a number of things- joy, confidence, motivation, creativity, or boldness (to name a few). Creating change is not easy or fast, but we have to start somewhere. One of the best feelings is being seen and heard for who we are- it feels so good, yet can be so scary at the same time. It may feel out of reach, and that's okay.

Each of us has our own unique life experiences and I believe that our ability to navigate our lives requires an appreciation of those experiences and the different difficulties we might face. The root cause of these difficulties could be related to many factors, such as our past or current experiences, and at times, we may need additional supports or just a person outside our social circle to help us in a friendly and safe space. Effective therapy is fostered through genuine connections with people, where the therapist is not only empathetic, but also sensitive and responsive to a person’s needs at a given moment during therapy.
