In a world full of unpredictability, change, and painful experiences, we all can struggle. In the face of the many factors that are out of our control, understanding ourselves is critical to taking ownership over our own lives and well-being. As a therapist, I can help you to: acclimate during/after major life transitions or trauma, recognize and change patterns that aren’t working for you, and identify coping skills. I am especially passionate about helping people with: exploring their identities, developing self-acceptance and compassion, and cultivating a fulfilling life.

As a therapist my priority is to cultivate a safe, compassionate and respectful environment. Hearing your story allows me to connect by giving me a deeper understanding of your experiences. I find that an honest and genuine relationship is the primary ingredient to create meaningful changes together. You are the expert of your life and I am eager to learn from you; it will be an honor to guide you in fostering a holistic relationship with yourself in which mind, body and soul are equally important. With a strong therapeutic bond, I believe I can help you navigate through the obstacles thrown your way to rediscover hope and purpose.

Compassion, Competence and Commitment define my practice. Your mental health is important to me. I've been working with children, adolescents and families for over 15 years. Feeling stressed out, depressed or anxious? Are you ready for change? I can help you using proven, effective therapies such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I provide testing services such as: psycho-educational, neuropsychological, job fitness, parental fitness, and weight loss surgery evaluations. I also run social skills training, bereavement and anger management workshops for children and adults alike.

What life challenges are you facing? Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Maybe you're wrestling with addiction, a difficult relationship, or interpersonal interactions. Or, perhaps you want to improve some behavioral issues and develop healthier habits. I work with these issues and more. I am a trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and also utilize evidence-based therapy for treating individuals of all ages who have experienced trauma and physical, psychological, or sexual abuse. In addition to working with adults, I provide individual and group therapy to children and adolescents struggling with emotional and behavioral problems.

No matter what you are going through, you deserve to feel supported and heard. By fostering a trusting and non judgemental atmosphere, we can work through your challenges and stressors together in order to get you on track to living a more fulfilling and joyous life. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices, we will empower you to heal, grow, and thrive in your day-to-day life. Your wellbeing is my top priority, so come as you are and take the first step in working towards becoming the best version of yourself.

Sometimes life has us so overwhelmed that words evade us. We can be drenched in emotion, or we can be numb to it all. Our struggles manifest uniquely according to the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual elements in our lives. We might feel lost and alone, but it is important to remember that we are not. I wish to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you, in which we can explore together. We may attempt to connect words with feelings, or we may let silence hold its power; the conscious and the unconscious are both invited. Through our relationship we may discover new pathways of resilience.

I believe that, at the core of every human being, there is a need to be loved and to be valued, and that we meet those needs through our relationships with others. By the time we reach adulthood, we have established relationships with our families, friends, romantic partners, work colleagues, and others. And, while we all hope for the best, sometimes these relationships turn toxic and/or abusive. Despite the fact that we are not always aware of it, these unhealthy relationships negatively affect our mental health to the point where feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, guilt, or shame become unbearable.

Unlike the fantasies marketed to us through various platforms, life often gets hard. Most live through difficult events that may impede on our ability to empower and cultivate our authentic selves. To facilitate exploration and growth, my first priority is offering a safe space. We will build a collaborative therapeutic relationship that thrives on compassion, support, and humor. With it, we will explore and identify roadblocks that may be keeping you from reaching your greatest potential. A variety of mediums can be used, such as talking or drawing, depending on what feels right to you.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are. My own journey has led me to my career as a therapist which allows me the honor and opportunity to work together with my clients to recognize their own strengths and limitations in achieving their goals. All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.

​Dealing with difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations can be challenging and isolating. I find so much value in people struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as those dealing with grief, relationship, and family issues. I also really enjoy working with people who struggle with body image and are looking to develop a better relationship with food, and a better relationship with the self in general. I am constantly learning from my clients who are the expert of their own lives. Additionally, I utilize an advanced evidence-based approach to cognitive behavioral therapy and my holistic approach aims to empower you!

Feeling stuck? Lost? Currently in an unhealthy relationship? We can change that. Together we will help you access the path that is best for you. Healing and change can be scary, but the process that will lead you to your best whole self is waiting for you. Yes, you can build a healthy, positive path forward for lasting positive change. Reaching out is the first step to that path.

Sometimes, life’s challenges are difficult to master on our own. If you’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or isolated, there are constructive ways out. Psychotherapy can make a difference.

Above all, therapy is a place to be your real, authentic self. I support clients experiencing a range of life challenges by fostering a safe, trusting environment where they can develop self-compassion as they gain insight about current life situations, contextualize the impact of past experiences, and develop clarity on future goals. Through the use of highly effective evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will create strategies for empowering you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors, and let go of the negative patterns that no longer serve you.

At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we care deeply about the individuals who come to us with a desire to feel more happiness in their lives. For Aristotle, the most notable of the metaphysical philosophers, happiness is the highest desire and ambition of all human beings. The ancient Greeks also believed happiness is attainable; something one cultivates within oneself, and this 2000-year-old approach to enlightenment is strikingly similar to a new scientifically-proven therapeutic approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

In life there are so many questions that are unanswered or you might feel the need to figure out. Whether it be to find a career you’re successful in, establish steady relationships or develop new hobbies, this uncertainty may create a lot of stress in your life. For this reason, you may be struggling with feelings of not being good enough, which results in a sense of hopelessness and frustration about life and what it should be. We receive these messages from family, friends and social media that it is important to be accepted, but can simultaneously struggle with feelings of loneliness and inadequacy from trying to achieve it.

Are you on a journey towards greater self-awareness and fulfillment? Do you long for more meaningful and stronger connections? No matter what brings you to therapy- be it challenges with self-esteem, navigating stress, battling anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, addressing relationship dilemmas, workplace struggles, or simply the pursuit of happiness- I am here to support you. Together, we will identify the barriers that stand in your path and cultivate strategies and skills to better manage and overcome. My priority is establish a strong foundation of trust so you feel safe as we work to create the life you dream of.
