I'm passionate about helping my clients achieve weight loss, health, and overall emotional wellness goals. Building self-awareness is key to overcoming difficulties that are associated with this kind of journey. Weight, anxiety, depression/low mood, stress and overwhelm are often interconnected, and sometimes clients come to me just feeling stuck, unmotivated and unsure of how to move forward. Together we work to uncover the reasons behind these challenges. One of the most important aspects is for me to build a trusting relationship so my clients feel safe, accepted, and comfortable opening up about whatever is on their minds.

Are you facing difficulties or challenges that you either don't understand or that you feel powerless to do something about? Are there specific internal issues that you can identify that you want to resolve, like anxiety, or depression, or problems in relationship - whether that's with others, or with yourself? Do you find that you are self-critical, self-doubting, unable to respond to the events of your life with freedom, and instead trapped in patterns you cannot seem to overcome on your own? Do you want to be free of such self-defeating patterns, and be the person you were put here on this earth to be? Let's make it happen.

During our work together, I will provide the space for you to re-construct your self-concept and understand your stress and your relationship patterns.
Life conflicts, trauma, and stress can steer us away from our core; it can also prevent us from living our best lives. Honoring your story and understanding how all of these hardships can impact your everyday life and your choices and life decisions is one of the effective ways to look inside ourselves. It will also provide you with a clear picture of what you are not satisfied with, what makes you stressed, and if your social relationships work for you or not.

This may be your relationship with yourself or others, your daily experience of anxiety, depression or eating issues, your struggle in making sense of your past, or the ongoing effects trauma.
At times when we seek counselling, we aren’t totally sure what the ‘problem’ is, we just know our current realities don’t feel fully fulfilling. Other times, we can identify what the ‘issue’ may be, but feel stuck around how to move forward. Counselling therapy is effective in both scenarios, and works to bring both insight and solutions into an individual’s life. Many people looking for a counsellor are seeking a change in their lives, at times wondering if a different reality is possible. Let’s use our time together to bridge the gap between your current reality and a more fulfilling future.

In some seasons of life, it can take immense strength to just put on a brave face and survive the day. It is all too easy to get trapped in states of survival, and when we are in them, we are left with the nagging feeling that something is missing. Often, we find ourselves stuck in patterns we don't like, feel lost attempting to analyze what to do or ruminating on our past mistakes. This experience can manifest symptomatically as anxiety, depression, lack of focus, procrastination, substance misuse, isolation, relationship challenges, or struggling to find reason to get out of bed in the morning.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

Hello, I'm your online therapist! I largely work with millennials— go-getters, people pleasers, and anxious types. You might have noticed that the "roadmap of life" doesn't really apply these days, so you're out there navigating uncharted territory with your own compass and notebook. I can help. My ideal clients are people who want to overcome anxiety, manage stress, learn to set strong boundaries, improve their relationships, and reclaim their self-worth to build confidence. If any of this resonates with you (regardless of generation), you might want to work with me.

My foundation of therapy is a biopsychosocial-spiritual model, viewing human beings as whole persons of four aspects: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. Therefore, I am able to see the whole picture on how a brain injury, physical illness, physical trauma, or substance abuse affects human emotions, cognition, behavior, and spirituality, or vice versa. My approach utilizes Cognitive Rehabilitation therapy (CRT), Rogerian therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), and Narrative therapy in order to help my clients toward problem solving and having a new hope for a new life.
