I believe that each person is fundamentally whole and good just as they are, yet painful life experiences, inner conflict, and confusion obscure our innate sense of wellbeing and connection. I support you to heal these wounds, gently transforming them with compassion, to help you achieve the life you always wanted to live. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. In particular, I work with clients with trauma to let go of past painful experiences and memories to live more fully in the present. I also enjoy working with the BIPOC community integrating a person's diverse experiences, culture, or spirituality into therapy.

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Rage. Heartbreak. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. Intense emotions can seem to take over our bodies completely. We might lunge into anger or spiral into self-doubt and not know how to get ourselves out. But it doesn't have to be that way! Here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your kind, calm and rational thoughts; you have stable close relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you want.

Have you ever wondered: How much of my problem is me generated and how much is other people or circumstances? You know you are responsible for making changes in your life and yet things happen that make that change seemingly impossible. How can I change my private self and how I relate outwardly? Can I move from victim to survivor, from bully to challenger from rescuer to supporter even when the world and those around me don't cooperate? It's a question worth exploring. Spoiler Alert! It's very possible!

My priority as a therapist is to create a non judgemental, client focused space for you to explore the many facets of yourself. Oftentimes during our upbringing we start to tuck away components of self in order to fit in until we come to a time where we feel fragmented. Therapy can be a wonderful space to allow for these pieces to come back together and to feel free to be the truest version of yourself. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, have gone through a recent loss or transitioning into a new chapter of life, I am here to walk beside you. I look forward to working with you.

Life can sometimes darken our hearts, bringing challenges and uncertainties that feel overwhelming.

As a clinical counsellor, I specialize in helping those dealing with hormonal imbalances, low self-confidence, burnout, and major life transitions. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself or overwhelmed by seemingly minor issues, chronic stress may be taking a toll on your well-being. Over time, this stress can deeply affect your emotional and physical health. Addressing these challenges can help you regain control, improve your relationships, and restore a sense of peace and fulfillment in your life. Change starts with recognizing the need for something better.

Children and families are often referred to me by other counsellors or health professionals because "the kid refuses to talk or cooperate" or "we tried everything and nothing works". Families often seek my specialties to explore their children's behaviours and challenges from the developmental lens. Neurodivergent children look forward to seeing me because they feel I am safe, and fun, and can easily connect with them in a special and meaningful way. I cannot work with autistic children receiving ABA treatment as it is contraindicative with my strong commitment to neurodiversity affirmative and disability ethical principles.
