You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—trying to cope while everything feels heavy inside. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, relationship challenges, trauma, or difficulties with focus and attention. Perhaps you’re longing for clarity, relief, and a sense of safety again. You want to feel understood without judgment and supported as you find your way forward, at a pace that feels right for you.

As a newcomer to Canada, I grasp the intricacies of finding belonging and defining identity. I also understand how challenging vulnerability can feel, especially when opening up to others hasn’t always felt safe. With a warm and compassionate approach, I aim to reconnect clients with their own strengths, self-understanding, and capacity to grow.

Are you successful in most areas of your life but alcohol or drugs are affecting your relationship, job or health? Maybe you don't require in-patient rehabilitation. Perhaps 12 step programs or time away from your job and family to attend private treatment aren't options. Addiction treatment is not a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. As an addiction counsellor and substance-use therapist, I utilize a 'coach-approach' to provide uniquely tailored programs based on individual needs and wants. Whether you are looking to cut back, take a break, quit completely or maybe you’re not even sure if you have a problem, there is an option for you.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, stress, work issues, life transitions and OCD. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers and caregivers and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

Often children’s behaviour can intensify or become problematic when they are faced with a problem which they don’t have the skills or knowledge to manage. I would love to help you and your family address any concerns you may be facing. Expressive techniques allow people of all ages to express their concerns and move towards resolution in a free and protective space without feeling restricted by trying to find the right words. I draw from an integrated approach using principles from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family Systems.

You may be insightful, capable, and emotionally aware—and still feel stuck. Talking helps, but it hasn’t reached everything. Many people I work with sense something deeper asking for attention, held in the body or nervous system, or in feelings and images beyond words. In a world marked by uncertainty, stress, and collective challenges, this is common. I support thoughtful adults, including neurodivergent folks, people living with trauma or chronic stress, and women in midlife (inclusive of trans and non-binary people). If you’re seeking a gentler, generative, creative, more meaningful way forward, you may feel at home here
