I support those living through anxiety, depression, debilitating stress, grief, loss, multi-cultural concerns, First Nations histories, First Responder issues, trauma, addictions, lifespan transitions including end of life, as well as parenting, relationship, and family concerns; I also support teens, adults and couples of all ages.
Are you struggling with emotional and physical reactivity that you cannot seem to change? Have you experienced trauma that continues to impact you? Do you feel trapped by what feels like insurmountable challenges that you have not yet learned how to cope with and overcome? Anxiety, depression, physical ailments, parenting challenges, relational difficulties, grief and loss, and so many more areas of suffering can pull us away from the life that we long to live. My aim is to support you through the challenges you are facing, equip you with new tools and strategies, and support you to move towards the life that you want to be living.

I am a Registered Psychologist and Jungian therapist trained and experienced in helping you to work with the stories and patterns and relationship concerns that keep you from living your life fully and meaningfully. Together we explore the experiences of your life, the symptoms that bring you to therapy and what is missing or needed to make long lasting changes. Since Jungian therapy works with both the Unconscious and Conscious aspects of your whole being, we explore what your dreams and your body have to say about the challenges that bring you to therapy in order to transform symptom and suffering into wholeness and healing.

I believe that the relationship we build together is the firm foundation from which you can achieve your goals and live a life that is meaningful to you.
So many of us struggle with self-doubt, loneliness and time-consuming worry or anxiety that keep us from reaching our potential and living the life we desire. We may feel hopeless and powerless to make changes, feeling that we are incapable, or that there is no way forward. It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Many clients find that when they take the first step into therapy, they experience a newfound sense of hope and possibility. I want to help you see that it’s possible to escape the entrenched patterns that have been holding you back and to experience being in the driver’s seat of your life.

I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the effectiveness of psychotherapy. My goal as therapist is to establish a relationship with my client that will allow me to effectively understand them in a nonjudgmental way and challenge them to grow and gain new perspective. I seek to be emotionally present, authentic, respectful, open, honest, and deeply empathic. In building on my client's existing inner strengths, they are empowered to seek and make the changes needed to live full and satisfying lives.

Accepting new clients...Have you reached your limit in pain/stress/worry? Are you growing more concerned about your relationship with alcohol and/or drugs? Or are you worried about the alcohol or drug use of someone you love and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do. Are you starting to realize that maybe you "don't got this", and that you need some help? Patterns of unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours developed over time CAN be changed; coping with trauma and anxiety IS possible. This can be a tough and confusing time, but reaching out for help indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

We all need support with managing the struggles and challenges of life. Having an empathic, respectful, safe client-therapist relationship is the key to therapeutic success. I believe that clients bring their own wisdom, expertise, and insight to the therapeutic process, and view counselling as a collaboration. Using a variety of clinical approaches, I support clients in reaching their goals by building on their strengths and resiliency, teaching practical skills and strategies, increasing self-awareness and understanding, and improving overall coping and wellness.

My work is rooted in a trusted professional relationship.
In my practice, it is important to me that my clients feel heard and understood. I use an integrative approach combining techniques from traditional talk therapy to offering non-talk therapy for clients who have experienced PTSD or long-term trauma. My sessions are client-focused fostering self-awareness and personal growth. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic alliance, where clients are encouraged to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours with support, and kindness. Through collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies, I guide clients toward positive change and resilience.

I am deeply committed to attending to, listening, and facilitating your inner connection with hidden precious stories of calm, strength, and relationship in your life.
We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' You're likely reading these profiles to suss out who a good person is to talk to . If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: fear, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these can lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: avoidance, procrastination, addiction, disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.
