I am a Social Worker who offers confidential Counselling services to people of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. I follow a philosophy of meeting people where they are "at" and working with them to create positive and healthy changes in their lives. My mission is to help, with the best of my knowledge and skills, clients who are committed to working towards their goals and to improve their situation. Rest assured that you are in charge every step of the way and if you are seriously considering professional counselling you are already starting the process of change.

For 9 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families on a wide variety of issues including communication breakdown, trauma, abuse, accident, injury, addictions, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns. I understand that change is difficult, and it is hard to take the first step in seeking out therapy support. I know it takes courage to start this process. I offer a safe, private, confidential environment to explore what you want your life to look like and to help you get there. Therapy is hard work, but the reward is a more satisfying you.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Many individuals today face these struggles, often feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate life's challenges. I believe that, within ourselves, we have all the resources we need to overcome our challenges and live a full, meaningful, and satisfying life. Sometimes, we just need a little guidance to tap into them. As a fully Registered Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, I feel confident I can support you in your journey.

If you are looking to break free from unhelpful thoughts, have healthier relationships, or work through painful memories (including grief or shame), I'm here to support you.

Are you grappling with the weight of your emotions, unsure of how to break free from the patterns that seem to be holding you back? Do you find yourself wrestling with anxiety that tightens its grip on you day by day? Is depression casting a shadow over your life, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one and struggling to find solace? Or perhaps you're in the midst of a significant life transition, feeling lost and overwhelmed? As a compassionate and highly skilled therapist, I understand that these challenges can be all-consuming, leaving you feeling isolated and in pain.

Welcome to a space where growth begins! I appreciate that seeking therapy can be an overwhelming task, and I commend you for taking the first one by being here right now!

As someone who has walked the path of anxiety and emotional intensity myself, I bring a unique personal insight to my practice that allows for authenticity in our sessions and a genuine connection where vulnerability is met with understanding.

You may have those moments - times when you're sad or frustrated, or struggling with the ups and downs of life. These moments can sometimes pass fairly quickly. And other times, they may not. I am deeply respectful of this journey you're on - where you've come from, what you've been through, and where you'd like to be. In a space of safety and honesty, it is my hope that together we can explore those tough moments and gain a better understanding of the blocks to achieving your therapy goals.
