Human beings experience severe life stressors sometimes, and when they do it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. I have a passion for helping people, who are experiencing difficulties, strengthen their relationships with themselves and others, so they can once again live purposeful, joy-filled lives, while still honouring their past.

If you are you struggling with chronic pain, illness or infertility, I can help you navigate this journey. Living with such a condition can be a debilitating and uncertain experience that not only wreaks havoc on you emotionally and physically, but can leave you feeling invalidated and invisible. It can make you feel weighed down by an array of emotions such as sadness, anger, hopelessness, or anxiety, and at other times it can make you feel not much at all, stricken by a sense of emptiness, feeling lost or stuck. You may find yourself struggling with a deep sense of grief over all of the things your condition has stolen from you.

A common misconception is that you need to hit "rock bottom" before you decide to seek counselling. There are numerous reasons why a person may choose to speak with a qualified professional; everything from taking preventative measures to addressing a full-blown crisis. Whether you're in a season of life where you're looking for insight, needing some guidance in making a shift or transition, wanting to change but not being sure how, hurting badly and feeling hopeless, carrying a burden of past traumas and memories, or in a crisis and you've reached your limit - counselling can help.

As a fellow human being, I am intimately acquainted with my own experiences of pain. As a therapist, my heart is devoted to accompanying others on their journey so that they may not have to navigate their pain alone, understanding that suffering is often compounded when endured in isolation. At the core, human beings long for connection. We yearn to feel secure, to be seen, heard, loved, valued and accepted. When these fundamental needs go unmet we can experience an ache that feels unbearable. Our resilience allows us to bounce back, but not without bearing the scars of what it took to survive.

I believe that at the very center of all people, tucked deeply away with our fears, traumas and insecurities are the answers to that which we are seeking.

Situations can come up that are overwhelming and debilitating; this does not mean you are weak or lesser than for struggling with your mental health. My approach is to work on a style of therapy most applicable to you. For these reasons and more I don't rely on one tool or model of therapy. My method is to trickle in different areas of psychology simultaneously. If something isn't working for you we implement another strategy. The goal is to get to the heart of what is distressing you and what is preventing you from living a life more in line with your goals and values.

Accepting new clients! This is definitely not what you expected. You may have thought that everything would fall perfectly into place, that becoming or being a parent would be the most natural thing in the world. Now, you’re finding that the fears, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the grief over your old life, or the disconnection from your partner are ruling your mind. You might be having a tough time sleeping, noticing some scary thoughts popping up, and just getting through each day is a trial. You wonder if you’re really connecting with your partner or your child(ren). You might be wondering who you even are these days.

Ever feel like you're wandering without a map? Figuring yourself out can feel like an unpredictable journey, but with the right support, it can lead to real clarity and lasting change. If you’re feeling stuck—overwhelmed by patterns of anxiety, struggling with self-doubt, or weighed down by past experiences—you’re not alone. Maybe you're ready to break free from these cycles but you don't quite know where to start. You want to feel more in control of your emotions, build confidence, and create meaningful relationships, but the path forward isn’t always clear.

First, my gratitude for your curiosity about my work. The foundation for all of my work is from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and anti-oppressive lens. I have had the honour of working with a wide range of people who seek to navigate through challenges such as childhood trauma, sexual abuse/violence, grief, intimacy issues, anxiety, and chronic pain. I have witnessed the often beautiful and life-shifting, but complex journey of navigating such issues and the courage it takes to do so. I aim to create a space where this vulnerability is met with compassion, safety, support, and a guiding hand if you feel you need it.
