A warm welcome! I believe in change, I believe in possibility and I believe in potential. Therapy is growth. It's taking you from where you are right now and guiding you gently to where you want to be through education, empowerment, experience, personal commitment and practice. At Touchstone Healing your feelings, emotions, beliefs and pain stories are explored in a safe, relaxed environment dedicated to honor and validate your experience. We then work together with the goal of moving into acceptance and release to create space for a more positive and meaningful experience of life.

I work with trauma survivors, parents, couples, individual adults and new parents. It is in relationship that we are formed, and it is also in relationship that we can heal and grow. My job is to provide a safe, professional, healing relationship. It is my goal to look beyond symptoms and pathology to help you make contact with your authentic self. I also view my role as a bridge, helping couples and families discover and create a sense of safety and security so that each person in the relationship can thrive.

Do you feel like you’re not living your life as fully as you could be? Feelings of being unsafe, or ‘on edge’ may be limiting your connections with others, and your ability to pursue the life you want. Whether it’s working through a difficult period, a traumatic event, childhood experiences, or ongoing struggles with stress and anxiety, you don’t need to do this alone. With over 25 years in the teaching and helping fields, I offer empathic support to help you feel more connected to yourself and to enjoy positive, healthy relationships with others.

Everyone gets a little stuck sometimes. We experience painful experiences that can be hard to move past. We become overwhelmed by our responsibilities and sometimes burn out. We get in arguments with loved ones, and we make mistakes. We're human. If you're looking to get back on track, you've come to the right place. My goal is to support you in learning to balance the conflicting expectations and responsibilities in your life, and also make time for the things that you enjoy. To support you as you explore your own needs and desires and learn to have compassion for yourself, instead of beating yourself up all of the time.

Here to help you move from a constricted place of judgement and self-criticism to an open place of self-love and compassion. Emotional upsets affect everyone and although you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or fearful, I want you to know that it's possible to confront and manage life's challenges. It's possible to thrive and you don't have to do this alone. I am collaborative, empathetic and intuitive in my work with clients. The focus is always client-centered so the work will be unique to you.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in helping individuals heal from trauma, relationship issues, and other concerns. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including “Parts work” which is based on the idea that each person has many different parts to their minds and psyches. Each of these parts has unique needs, wants, and beliefs and may be consciously or unconsciously helping or harming us as we move through our days. I help my clients integrate the many pieces within them to create more choice, expand their capacity to problem-solve, and to give them a greater sense of wholeness and aliveness in their daily lives.

I believe that meaningful changes come from meaningful connections. I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental, authentic space for you to feel safe to explore whatever brought you to therapy. Through our therapeutic relationship, I will support you to discover or reconnect with your true, authentic self. From this place of genuine connection – change, growth and healing emerge, allowing you to live your most meaningful life. I work work with adolescence, adults and parents. I offer virtual, in person & limited walking sessions in Collingwood, Ontario. If you do not hear back from me via psychology today, please visit my website.

Sometimes we go through hard things and don't know how to handle them or ourselves. Change is hard to make but possible and its easier to do when your being honest and with someone supporting and helping to navigate the things. If you want to do some digging, exploring yourself, connecting some dots, hearing strategies around your automatic responses to things I like to do that too. I support clients in learning about themselves and I especially enjoy working with clients who are diagnosed or suspect they have ADHD. The uniqueness connected with ADHD can be challenging at times but also be an amazing source of creativity!

I take a holistic therapeutic approach that is integrative and based in humanistic, compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioural therapies. I provide individual counselling to clients ages 18+ for concerns including depression/anxiety, trauma and attachment, intrusive thoughts, guilt/shame, panic, toxic relationships, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and perfectionism. My sessions offer a safe and non-judgemental space to talk, reflect, navigate new life terrain, gain alternative perspective, acquire coping strategies, and become better acquainted with your authentic self.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

My services focus on providing clients with a family of origin perspective combined with practical strategies to manage dysfunctional thinking and behaviour to support lasting emotional change. This focus supports change across a wide range of problem areas. When clients understand how their family of origin affects them and how their thoughts and behaviours maintain problems, change comes naturally and lasting change comes with mastery of behaviour and thinking.
