There are many times when life becomes more than we are able to handle. Sometimes life breaks us and leaves us feeling lost and alone. Other moments we feel like we are stumbling along in the dark, searching for meaning and direction, or just wishing we felt less pain. Finding a way back can be easier if another person shares some of the journey. A genuine and safe therapeutic relationship can be the starting place for rediscovering inner resources, developing new coping skills, and rekindling hope.

Do you feel like you're constantly on edge, emotionally drained, or just not yourself—and you're not even sure why? Maybe you're stuck in the same relationship patterns, finding it hard to trust others or make decisions that feel right. You might be floating through life without a clear sense of purpose, putting others first while silently feeling resentful or unseen. Even in moments of rest, it’s hard to relax. You’re easily triggered, quick to frustration, or overwhelmed by small tasks. It’s exhausting to keep it all together—and you may be wondering if things will ever feel different.

With 17 years of nursing experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals with their emotional well-being. I have a deep understanding of how physical health can impact emotional health. Life’s challenges can heighten distress, and I aim to help people navigate these difficulties by enhancing their coping skills, fostering self-compassion, and building on their strengths. If someone feels lost within themselves, we can work together to rediscover their path and restore their sense of direction.

Life is riddled with unexpected surprises and challenges that can move us out of line from who we want to be. Sometimes we need help identifying our blind spots to find our footing again and get back on track. Together we can explore your strengths and values so that you can live more authentically with purpose. I work with individuals struggling with issues of self-worth/confidence, anxiety, disordered eating, and trauma (grief/loss, familial issues, difficulties maintaining relationships, and trusting others). Working alongside you, we can go below the surface and address the deeper patterns that are leaving you feeling stuck.

When you enter my office, you will notice a variety of seating options, offered as a means to help you to tune in to your body and what feels most comfortable.

I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the effectiveness of psychotherapy. My goal as therapist is to establish a relationship with my client that will allow me to effectively understand them in a nonjudgmental way and challenge them to grow and gain new perspective. I seek to be emotionally present, authentic, respectful, open, honest, and deeply empathic. In building on my client's existing inner strengths, they are empowered to seek and make the changes needed to live full and satisfying lives.

Changes in one's life can result in many possibilities that can be overwhelming for some, and exciting for others.To manage the changes that occur in our life, we create our own personal safety net as a means for protection and safety from the potential dangers that can be brought on from change.However, an over reliance on these personal safety nets may lead to feeling like being imprisoned and trapped inside one's shell. This could eventually result in feelings of depression and anxiety.

I work to assist people with exploring their experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss. I practice from a strength-based, trauma-informed, and client-centred approach.

I especially love working with those whose lives have been relegated to the margins of their families, communities, culture, and society: folks who want to be heard, to feel whole, to be seen, and to be valued in a culture that tries to erase or homogenize their existence. Working with me, people feel more safe in and connected to the world around them; develop greater compassion and understanding of themselves; identify their core values and practice living in closer alignment with them; and, ultimately, form a strong sense of self leadership over their lives, emotions, and decisions.

I am a registered provisional psychologist who supports adults seeking meaningful healing, self-understanding, and emotional resilience. My work is grounded in a humanistic-existential and feminist approach, honouring each person's capacity for growth, authenticity, and connection. With warmth and empathy, I support clients in exploring their inner world, tending to past experiences that continue to shape the present, and building a more flexible and self-compassionate way of being. Sessions may include increasing awareness of inner experiences, processing trauma at a safe pace, and strengthening skills for values-aligned living.
