Work-life balance can be difficult to manage on your own, especially if you are struggling with mental health; whether that be from a recent traumatic event or historical trauma. Layered in this can be undiagnosed learning conditions and/or caregiving responsibility, which can lead to heightened emotional stress or crisis. It is helpful to have a support network; either in your personal life, in the community, or even medically. Creating boundaries for ones self is a big step and I can help through this by providing solution-focused, goal oriented strategies, hopefully creating more balance and getting back to your 'normal self'.

What keeps us feeling like we are in limbo/stuck? Unresolved issues and traumas can keep us feeling and/or thinking that we are not progressing as we'd like, resulting in many feelings of being overwhelmed, burned out, and experiencing physical/emotional pains. Over 18 years of clinical experience, I can help you to discover and identify the core issues/patterns/beliefs, while inspiring hope and courage while you walk a more integrated path living life with more joy and abundance; with feelings of rejuvenation and release; and with an expanded self-awareness, emotional balance, and clearer thinking.

Please feel free to reach out, and let's start this transformative journey together.
My ideal client is someone ready for a journey of self-discovery, dealing with issues like identity, anxiety, or depression. They seek a therapist who celebrates their uniqueness, providing a safe space for exploration. They want to reshape thought patterns, embrace emotions and values, and nurture self-compassion. Their goal is a strong, authentic self, free from self-doubt, and armed with tools to thrive in life's complexities. I specialize in working with the neurodivergent crowd—ADHD, Autism—and gender-diverse people.

Therapy is your place to be exactly as you are. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental therapy so you can feel free to be yourself. My practice is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. Many of my areas of practice are grounded in lived experience, which supports my ability to offer authentic compassion and empathy. I've navigated the challenges of feeling overwhelmed by trauma and systemic barriers. Thankfully, my journey taught me that when we find good-fit therapy and work on developing deeper self-compassion, we are so much stronger and more capable of healing than we ever imagined possible.

My counselling experience includes working in areas such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions such as relationships, work, health, loss and rebuilding oneself.
I have over 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health in a variety of areas, however, my passion has landed in the area of supporting individuals over the age of 50 as they navigate the many changes that come with this time of life. I believe that this age group is often overlooked when it comes to counselling support and services and yet it is a significant time in people’s lives where they experience many transitions, changes and personal growth.

Supporting others to overcome or rethink the barriers that can keep us from ‘thriving’, has always been my goal.  I have done this through extensive work in the non-profit sector (both in Canada and India), and now as a Registered Provisional Psychologist (R.Psych Provisional). I strive to create a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which clients feel safe, understood, and with a vision of what ‘stepping forward with hope’ might look like to them. I work with children aged 6+, adolescents, adults, families and couples. I look forward to meeting you and to finding out what is important to you at this time in your life:)

Many of my clients have experienced panic attacks, obsessive worry, anger, depression, low self esteem - that have been brought on or worsened by relationship difficulties and negative - even traumatic experiences. Life can be very hard - when feeling hurt, scared, or humiliated, our impulse is to withdraw from others, fight back, or pretend everything is okay. My clients have often found themselves stuck in these defensive modes. If you hope for change and are willing to reach out, please don't hesitate .... you are worth it!
