I work with women struggling with anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, grief, anger & self esteem . Here you'll find solution-focused answers that result in lasting, positive change and growth. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone, but using a combination of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and other therapies, I will tailor a plan just for you to achieve your goals and gain the tools to face whatever life brings you. Learn to live a peaceful, symptom-free life with your needs and goals in mind. I've been where you are - it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and I will be here for you every step of the way.

I use primarily CBT, Gottman, narrative, and psychodynamic principles to explore and understand your needs and experiences that have facilitated and contribute to your current adversities.
You have things to say and want to be heard. You need the opportunity to feel without judgement. Turning our shared space and time into an environment abundant with trust and collaboration are the fundamental instruments of our successful chapter together and the factors to finally feeling heard and seen as you not only face your difficulties but overcome them.

I am trained to work from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that we focus on how past troubles affect current functioning and emotional development.
Accepting personal and professional referrals and VA clients - Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern and don't know how to change? Do you find that your relationships are not working, or depression and anxiety are getting in the way of living a happy, healthy life? I see therapy as a way to answer the questions of "Why?" "Why do I make the choices I do?" "Why does this keep happening to me?"

Sometimes our mind and body aren't in sync and can leave us feeling ill or debilitated. I strongly believe they are connected and believe that psychotherapy can be leveraged to improve their relationship for better overall health and improved quality of life. Our sessions will focus on understanding your chronic health issues, how they impact your life, and how to better manage them. It is my hope that you are an active participant in your care. For some people, their health issues have taken on a life of their own. Control is a theme of our work. Even as issues continue to happen, you can feel more empowered around your response.

I believe every client has the wisdom and resilience they need to live meaningful and fulfilled lives. I work with adults and couples to explore and understand the beliefs that guide them in their relationships and behaviour. I see my role as a supportive scaffold which stands to enable my clients to embrace the vulnerability needed to heal. Each client's journey is informed by their mind and body; I incorporate information from these as we navigate the therapy process. In therapy I focus on issues of existence, including growth towards self-awareness and self-acceptance, and meaningful behavioural change.

Welcome! First let's acknowledge the step you’ve already taken towards your healing just by searching for a counsellor that's right for you. If that's me, I truly look forward to beginning this journey with you! While skilled in working with a variety of mental health challenges, I'm most experienced working with those related to childhood experiences, abuse, trauma (including sexual abuse), relational ruptures, & loss. These impacts can include shame & self-criticism, guilt, anxiety, depression, overwhelming or muted emotion, perfectionism, over-working, body image, self-esteem, and boundary challenges, and more.

Many of our emotional wounds are formed in our early relationships with others, which is why the attunement, unconditional acceptance, and healthy boundaries modeled within the therapeutic relationship can be so healing later in life. I take genuine pleasure in providing people with these “missed experiences,” because the world is a brighter place when we're seen, understood and SAFE. With your permission, I'll challenge you, and together we'll work to restore your connection to your core Self. Balancing the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of who you are can feel overwhelming at times, but I'm here to also make it kinda fun!
