We all struggle and need a safe place to explore what we are going through. When we have circulating thoughts that leave us confused, or if we are frustrated, scared, exhausted, talking about it with a professional helps. Be it trauma, burnout, menopause, PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, life transition, or high stress, I will provide a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to be heard. I will help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, physiology and behaviour all interconnect. With this clarity you have an increased sense of self-awareness, empowerment, and strength to choose a path forward more in line with who you are.
Accessing professional mental health is a choice to create peace and balance in life. Together we will discover what is holding you back, build effective tools for change, increase self-trust, and discover inner strengths. We all experience difficult life challenges, and optimal mental and emotional fitness is key to healing and moving forward.
I have my Masters in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor. I provide a brief phone consult to ensure a good fit. Most insurance companies cover my fees, and for those that do not, I am willing to adjust my fee.

For most issues I use Internal Family Systems (parts) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Parts work helps you understand developed inner tensions and confusions resulting from what has happened to you or around you. Once the mind, body and emotions have been aligned and we have clarity on the "why", the we can then move into CBT, and be free to adopt new ways of thinking and behaving in our future.
