Are you feeling sad? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging and exhausting when you feel lonely and lack support. You may be feeling depressed or dealing with low self esteem. Or are you feeling anxious? An intense desire to be perfect? Racing thoughts about yourself or others? Do you feel stuck in life and triggered in relationships and social interactions? You can be experiencing past trauma or recent traumatic events that can cause you to feel frequently triggered or experience ruminating thoughts. This can make it challenging to regulate your emotions and maintain daily functioning.

From outside appearances you seem fine, but inside you feel unsettled. You can’t quite name it, but your mood has been off, your relationships feel messy and unclear, and lately you feel lonely and disconnected. You have tried to shrug it off. It’s not that big of a deal anyway, this is just life, right? You push through this knot-like feeling in your stomach and insist your mind quiets down. You try to distract yourself- a good movie, work, go out with friends more. And you can try and listen to that mindfulness podcasts you’ve been meaning to get to. But you’re craving more than just venting to a friend who will blindly support

Welcome! I am a EMDR trained trauma-informed therapist and believe that as multi-faceted humans, we hold the stories and experiences of our trauma deeply within our bodies. I have special training in EMDR for both children and adults. My approach is collaborative and integrative as there is no one size fits all approach. I center my clients agency and voice, empowering them along the way. My work is intersectional, sex/kink positive and queer affirming. I have special interests in sexual trauma, dysfunction/pain, complex trauma, attachment trauma, racial trauma, gender-based trauma, immigration trauma, and chronic illness.

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.

Life is a journey filled with many different challenges that can be overwhelming and distressing. My goal is to be there with you in finding new ways of coping with such difficulties. I became a therapist because of my passion to connect deeply with people and help with self exploration and growth. I believe that such a connection can relieve many obstacles and improve emotional well being. I am trained in evidence-based clinical treatments for individuals, couples, and families going through daily struggles such as interpersonal conflicts, marital conflicts, parent-child difficulties, high anxiety, depression, and more.

Our clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, martial issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, and transitional concerns. Through evidenced based approaches, we aim to tailor our treatment approach specific to the needs of each individual. We believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills.

Thank you for coming to my profile! I’m a holistic psychotherapist, communication specialist and women’s empowerment coach. I’ve had many years of experience and have been very successful at helping people feel better, communicate effectively, heal their relationships AND create richer, more satisfying lives! The work I do runs the gamut from therapeutic inner child work to heal early trauma to cognitive behavioral therapy to help alleviate fear and anxiety to empowerment coaching that elevates the individual’s emotional resilience, mental acuity and commitment to profound personal growth and transformation!

Parents often worry about their child when alarming behaviors emerge. Challenges that arise in childhood can impact one’s mood, how one copes with stress, and identity formation. Similar issues can arise for parents who may be experiencing this role for the first time, impacting one’s ability to bond with their children. Early intervention can support children as young as infancy to promote healthy functioning into adulthood as well as support parents who may be experiencing difficult feelings related to their own history.

I hope to provide the guidance and tools necessary to help children, teens and adults cultivate insight, resilience, coping skills, value, meaning, purpose, happiness, healing and lasting change in their lives. We are all on a journey and I am honored to walk alongside you as mentor.
