Many of us have experienced adversity in our lives, including myself. Whether it is trauma, chronic pain/illness, racial discrimination or struggles, grief and loss, or depression/anxiety, these experiences often leave us feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally drained. My experiences have taught me that each person experiences adversity differently, and therefore, requires a unique approach for their unique experiential reality. Moreover, I believe that every person has the desire, capacity, and ability to heal and experience growth.

I work with children, adolescents and adults with a range of presenting challenges, such as anxiety, depression, lack of social skills, low self-esteem, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, FASD, Autism, relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma. I also work with families to address behavioral challenges or to rebuild strained relationships.

With specialized training in trauma, I work with clients who have experienced sexual, physical, emotional and/or financial abuse. Additionally, I work with clients who would like support with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and relationships.

Welcome! I’m currently accepting new clients for virtual sessions. My aim is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space in which to help you explore the challenges you may be facing. I use a collaborative and client-centered approach. There is always space for some humour in this process. I am here to add and enhance skills you already have to help facilitate change. I am a Registered Psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and EMDR clinician. I have completed training in Narrative Therapy, ACT and Solution Focused Therapy and use elements of mindfulness. I use a variety of approaches and tailor them to best meet your needs.

Hi there, thank you so much for being here. As a psychologist, I believe in a collaborative and client centred approach to therapy. I am truly passionate about assisting individuals in navigating life's transitions, fostering emotional regulation, nurturing personal confidence and self-esteem, providing support during times of grief and loss, and cultivating a healthier mindset. By re-authoring the stories we tell ourselves and challenging the negative beliefs we may hold, our minds can be a safe space again. Additionally, I find great joy in using humour in my practice!

I am honoured to support people in finding their path to healing. I believe that we have our own capacity to move through difficult times and know that taking this step can be pretty tricky. My approach is gentle and fairly eclectic, I tend to use the modality that best suits the clients needs with an attachment based lens. I tend to focus on play therapy and emotion focused therapies with children as well as utilize some dyad work. With adults I tend to use EMDR, trauma processing, solution focused therapy, person centred and emotion focussed therapy modalities. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit.
