You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward? You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you. Imagine waking up every day feeling in control of whatever might come your way; knowing that you have the internal strength to deal with and manage it. Imagine being the best version of YOU.
Using visualization, guided meditation and breathing techniques, connect with your inner self to understand the source of your obstacles and provide what you truly need. Share feedback and engage in community support to strengthen resilience, understanding and compassion for self and other. Heal The Source, Heal the World!
Do you feel you’ve achieved a high level of success but you’re still not satisfied? Do you find yourself feeling stuck? That something is missing, but just don’t know what that is. Are you having some trouble finding your way to true happiness that you end up living on somebody’s expectations? You want to move forward but you are confined in your own world, afraid to spread your wings because of thoughts that you are not good enough. So, it’s your time to start facing your fears and be the driver of your life, too. Become the better version of yourself by connecting to the source of what holds you back!
This free Zoom group is a safe and supportive space to come together during these difficult times. Share and care for one another while learning some mindfulness and coping skills.

I have 24 years of experience. Clients work with me because they have a goal they want to reach, a pattern they wish to change, a relationship to discuss, or something to heal from the past. My role is to guide you on a transformative journey with unwavering support & provide powerful tools to help you feel better. During treatment, clients learn to trust themselves more & feel less anxious, sad, reactive, or self-critical. Listening to your feelings, thoughts, body, and needs is a skill. When this is personal practice, confidence increases, decision-making is easier, boundaries are clearer, & relationships are less stressful.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.
Participants of this DBT Skills Group will increase their awareness of emotions, learn skills to cope with strong emotions, build emotional resilience, build better relationships, develop a greater understanding of the role of emotions in their life - both how they can help and hinder.

Persona Doll groups are therapeutic groups for children between the age of 4 and 7. The groups allow children to interact with the therapist and a life size doll or puppet. The children are able to relate to the puppet who often has similar worries or fears. This aims to reduce children's anxiety, normalize their fears and decrease acting out behaviours. Depending on the age of the children, parents may be a part of the group to help facilitate the process. Currently running online.

You may not show it, but you feel stuck. Your anxiety and fears prevent you from taking steps forward. Instead, you find yourself procrastinating and avoiding. You are consumed by doubt and overwhelmed by worry and unwanted, intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts. You try hard to avoid those thoughts, but they keep coming back. The more you fight them, the stickier they become. You try to tell yourself that the thoughts are meaningless, but somehow you feel you can never be sure. What if after all, something horrible will happen? What if the thoughts mean something important? Your friends and family keep telling you not to worry and explain that everything is just in your head. This reassurance helps for a bit, but very soon you are back to endless "What if? " questions. You tried therapy before. The therapist tried to convince you that what you fear is unlikely to happen and taught you relaxation, breathing, meditation, and thought records. But it didn't help and made you even more hopeless. You'd like to break free from your worries and fears and start living your life. If you are reading this profile, you may be finally considering making a significant change. We are here to help!

Perhaps it started with one or two jarring and disturbing thoughts or images or an unshakable feeling that something wasn't right. Desperate to get rid of this unsettling experience, you performed a behaviour or mental act that you just felt compelled to complete, and at first, it seemed to help. Now you are caught in a vicious cycle where you feel the overwhelming urge to engage in certain thoughts or behaviours over and over in search of relief. You're stuck, and you desperately want to get out. If you can relate, you are not alone. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an experience that affects 1-2% of the population.

It's time to feel how powerful you truly are. I help women overcome self-defeating and worrisome thoughts to live a calm and fulfilling life. Stress and trauma affects how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and addiction. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life.
