In schema therapy, an ideal client may grapple with entrenched emotional patterns or schemas, such as abandonment, mistrust, or inadequacy. They may have endured recurrent relational challenges or traumatic events that fuel these schemas. Their needs might encompass comprehending and validating their emotions, cultivating healthier coping mechanisms, and nurturing secure attachments. Their aspirations could entail dismantling detrimental patterns, nurturing self-worth, and fostering gratifying relationships.

Being a stressed, anxious, high-achieving, spirited women, mother, or professional looking to balance the needs of many (including oneself!) in a complex life can feel overwhelming & challenging. It's not easy to navigate the journey to greater peace, contentment, and authenticity, but it can be accomplished with the right tools and support. You can learn to take a pause, unsubscribe, and try something different, and I am passionate about helping you (re)create YOUR meaningful life full of healthy coping skills, empowerment, resiliency & holistic wellbeing.

We are compassionate, experienced and effective multi-cultural, neuro-diversity affirming Relationship and Trauma counsellors who have served our community for many years. If you are in conflict with the significant people in your life or have experienced a traumatic event in the past that you are still struggling with today, look no further.

I help alleviate work related distress through therapy and coaching that helps you achieve fulfilment and success. I offer mental health therapy and organizational coaching that gives you the space to openly talk about what you are going through. Together we will identify and change the things that are causing suffering so you can find peace and thrive in your career.

Do you struggle with emotions and relationships that affect how you feel about yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or frustrated with an issue or an illness? Do you wonder if you will ever be able to feel better? Does the idea of talking about it also feel overwhelming? I offer a safe and welcoming virtual space, where you will be accepted for who you are, and whatever your story is. Using trust, humour, and kindness, we will explore your story together and at your speed. And if you have experienced PTSD, or any kind of trauma, you are not alone.

If authenticity and attachment are fundamental human needs, what would happen to us when these two needs are not met? Shame, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, anger and addiction would become our coping mechanisms to protect our inner child.

When anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, sleep issues, chronic illness & pain, and relationship issues are interfering, how to get through the everyday can feel so frustrating, exhausting, depleting, and chaotic.
