In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

Whether you’re experiencing crisis, challenge, unrelenting dissatisfaction, dysregulation characteristic of unresolved trauma, or the desire for safety, belonging, intimacy and autonomy, my goal as a therapist remains the same: to support a shift from temporary coping strategies to healing strategies that provide lasting resolutions and transformative results. We have been taught that coping strategies such as isolation, masking, mental illness, and substance abuse are personal failures or inadequacies.

With a childhood spent observing the ins and outs of human behavior, my fascination with psychology sparked at an early age. Most of my clients are dealing with trauma, narcissistic abuse, challenging relationships, substance use, workplace difficulties, and emotional distress. I also work with individuals with neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, and giftedness) and personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, and antisocial).

Are you someone that identifies as LGBTQ+, seeking an outlet to express one’s worries? Are you a racialized person struggling to find someone you can speak to about life challenges? Have you reached a roadblock in your communication with a romantic partner? LGBTQ+ and racialized folks are often limited in spaces that allow them to feel fully seen. With couples, there are often difficulties figuring out where to start in managing conflict. Through a collaborative therapeutic stance, I am to challenge such difficult realities by supporting clients to fulfill their desired goals.

Their goal is to find a supportive space to explore their mental health and personal growth.

I am passionate about supporting and caring for people who care for others. Amid the busyness of giving to others, you might have challenges in your life but find them difficult to address. These might be conflicts with a partner, co-worker, or family member, strong and unpleasant emotions, or other pervasive mental health concerns.

One of the most profound sources of healing is already embedded in you; your body, your dreams, and your senses are always giving you clues as to what it is you need most, what you are invited to heal next, and where your next best step is. Current neuroscience reveals to us what ancient mystics and spiritual leaders have been showing us for millennia - that we can and will heal in profound ways as we gain capacity to integrate all of our experiences. Journeying together with a practitioner or healer who can see us, accurately reflecting back to us what we could not previously see, is a life-changing experience.
