My work with people is rooted in the belief that we all have the strength and wisdom within ourselves to make the changes we wish to see. Within the context of a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship, new ways of being can emerge. Living more fully aligned with our values and increasing our awareness of unhelpful patterns can allow us to live a more meaningful, vibrant, and joyful life. By working collaboratively with you at your own pace, I can support you in expanding your self-awareness and changing the maladaptive beliefs or behaviours that are getting in the way of living the full and rich life that you imagine.

Do you ask yourself “what’s the point”, feel exhausted, stuck, alone, overwhelmed, stressed, isolated or withdrawn? Do you think to yourself, I’m not in control, not good enough, or I'm a failure?

If you connected to any of the above and are looking for something different, better, or more, we can work together to create a treatment plan offering you hope, to help guide you, and support you in having a more functioning, healthier & happier life.

I provide a safe place to process, heal and change, with an open, warm and practical approach to counselling. Sometimes clients jokingly say, 'I have issues'. Well, we all have 'issues'. When these issues become overwhelming, I help you gain the skills necessary to move forward. I think expressing both "negative" and "positive" emotions are important to well-being. I consider therapy a success when you leave with increased clarity about the issues that you are dealing with, feel hopeful about addressing the challenges holding you back, and feel confident practicing new skills that you have added to your personal skill set.

It isn’t necessary to stay stuck (or alone) in painful situations or challenging circumstances. Therapy/counselling provides an opportunity to uncover and discover new understandings, strengths and resiliencies in self (and others). Therapy provides a safe space to develop action plans to explore difficult life and relationship (couple, family/parenting, separation) issues or work/career concerns. Therapy also provides a safe space to explore and develop skills in managing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD, etc. No problem is too big for therapy. Clinical Supervision is also available.

I believe you are the expert in your own life and that you don't need someone to tell you what to do. However, we all get stuck sometimes. If you are overwhelmed by problems, hurting, anxious, depressed, or feeling suicidal, it is really helpful to talk to someone who is trained and neutral and can help you move forward in your life and relationships.

I deeply believe that the body knows what needs to be healed and holds the keys to that healing. Our systems, however, are so good at keeping us safe that we often can't access those keys alone. I use a range of tools to facilitate that healing, including conversation, meditation, visualization, mindfulness, IFS, AEDP, and sometimes energy work depending on the individual I am working with. I aim to be feminist, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, which means the client is always the expert on their own experience. We work collaboratively using a range of tools to find the right path forward for you.

I absolutely love working with clients who are navigating trauma and learning to process big emotions. Life is incredibly complex, and being able to hold space for you in this way is an honour.

I have experience working with children (ages 10+), teens, and adults facing challenges related to grief & loss, gender & sexual identity, chronic illnesses, disordered eating (including ARFID), school, phobias, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and trauma. I have a special interest in working with those who have experienced (or who will experience) the death of someone they love, and I also particularly enjoy working with queer, trans+, and gender-creative young people.

I am an experienced clinician who graduated with honors from both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. My expertise lies in the field of psychology, where I explore key concepts on how to create change and reach our goals. I use research-based techniques to help clients work on their issues. By bringing unconscious patterns to light, reprocessing past experiences, and establishing attainable goals for the weeks ahead, I help clients gain momentum to move forward while freeing them from old ways of thinking and behaving. These approaches push us to use new neural pathways or change established ones which create long-lasting changes.

My primary goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental and safe space for clients to feel welcome, heard, respected, understood and supported.

If you are struggling with anxiety, post-traumatic experiences, occupational stress injuries or stress I believe that I can help you develop skills and techniques to help overcome the difficult times. Everyone has the ability to learn and overcome challenges but sometimes we need some help create a plan to see the changes we want in our lives. If your willing to work with me then I promise to do my best to help you out or find someone more suited to help you. As a current member of the Canadian Armed Forces I believe that I can bring a unique perspective for other members seeking help for mental health.

How do you find the best counsellor for you? This is a difficult choice and often being open and communicating with your counsellor will ensure optimal healing. I come from an acceptance of where you are in your journey. I do not believe the goal of counselling is “counselling itself”, but to find a way to move forward in your journey. "To feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health” (Bessel Van der Kolk, 2014).
