To be human is to feel, to think, to sometimes reel. Life can bring so much joy and so much pain, sometimes even in the same week. Connection, passion, and a deep sense of self can feel far away at times. Juggling family, work, and personal fulfillment can feel conflicting, exhausting, and at times, unattainable.

When I first meet new clients and we talk about what’s bringing them into counselling, they share issues of negative self-talk or worry, people pleasing, difficulties with emotions or motivation, feeling stuck, or challenges in their relationships. It can be confusing or unclear about know how to deal with these things and people can even be skeptical about being able to make change. I whole heartedly believe we are able to move through challenging emotions, shift personal trauma and change unhelpful relationship patterns to find joy, resilience, and authentic living.

Do you struggle with self-esteem, anxiety or depression? Have you ever felt judged or misunderstood for being different? This type of stress can make you feel alone, hopeless, and not good enough. Add immigration, culture shock, and socio-economic struggles into the mix and life can feel quite daunting at times. However, it is your unique lived experience and challenges that you can learn to draw upon to find solutions and explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to discover your path toward healing and desired change. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where you can feel empowered to do so.

"Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” ― Paulo Coelho. We have the ability as humans to overcome adversity, trauma and life altering stressors. You may clearly know what is bothering you or it may be deep in your unconscious, regardless, there needs to be a feeling. Whether the feeling is the desire for change or the awareness that you need help; it is the first step in your healing. The goal is to process the feelings that hold you back, thus freeing up space for positive memories, healthy coping, and self compassion.

Do you feel like you are unable to calm? Do you feel anxious and judged by others? Do you feel restless, irritable, and stuck in "on" mode in this ready-to-react mode? Do you have persistent negative thinking, emotional fluctuations, and repeating the same actions and patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to lift your mood? These are among some of the many symptoms of trauma. Trauma changes the nervous system and the ability to regulate our nervous system is directly correlated with our mental health. EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy can help heal the nervous system, by processing and releasing trauma stored in the body.

I am a proponent of CBT, DBT, Client Centred & Positive Psychology. I believe that every individual, even at their worst, knows themselves better than I ever could. Life is hard work.

I commend those who find the courage to seek help, especially during vulnerable times. Establishing trust with clients while ensuring they feel safe is paramount. My engagements are genuine and nonjudgmental. I provide empowerment, reassurance, gratitude and unconditional positive regard to each unique relationship.

As a therapist, and human in general, I am passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. I believe that to be seen, heard, and accepted in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. An important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.
