When painful thoughts and emotions show up, it can be like trying to find our way through a fog. It’s hard to live the way we want to when anxiety makes our mind spin in circles, when shame hangs on us like a dead weight, and when our inner voice is constantly questioning and criticizing. As painful as they are, these feelings are here to show us that something needs to change. By listening to them and working through them together, we can clear the path to a life that is manageable and fulfilling. In my practice, I work with adults—both individuals and couples—to help them find that path.

My therapeutic work is with burnout and/or highly sensitive persons who want to transform patterns of reactivity that contribute to overwhelm and relational difficulties. My clients say to me, "I don't even know when the exhaustion and anxiety started, but now even small tasks feel like a demand and everything makes me irritated and anxious", "It's not even the expectations of others, it's me!" or "I need to rest, relax but I don't know why I can't". Burnout creates bone-deep isolation, hopelessness, and a sense of overwhelm that robs the enjoyment of life and work. You are not alone.

Do you judge yourself harshly? Do you feel that you're never good enough? Do you think you are responsible for the way another person feels or behaves? Do you focus outside yourself for love or security? Are you constantly seeking approval and affirmation? Change takes a lot of hard work and effort, but it is possible, and with the right type of counselling, you can get what you want from life. Together we will create a safe space where I will help you discover what's blocking your growth, heal old wounds, and change old patterns that no longer serve you.

When it comes to healing and/or pushing through challenges in life, it is normal to wish for someone to walk alongside you. My approach is guided by the understanding that we, as people, are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences as well as the experiences we did not receive. Whether your area of concern be surrounding mental health challenges, exploring the many parts of your identity that make you who you are, processing traumas, religious deconstruction, or learning new personal skills, I will join you on your journey towards clarity, understanding, and moving forward.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

I have over twenty-five years’ experience working with children, youth, adults and families from diverse cultures. I specialise in providing treatment that specifically addresses individual and family needs, strengths, challenges and obstacles. My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed and collaborative. Most problems are caused by many overlapping factors. Therapy usually involves exploring the big picture and developing practical and constructive ways to support well-being and change. Sometimes it is helpful to explore ways in which past experiences and relationships are affecting current experiences and behaviour.

Do you feel like your anxiety rules your mind and you have no control? You may constantly battle racing thoughts, struggling to focus, and feeling restless about various aspects of your life. While striving for excellence and witnessing others' success, you're often left feeling anxious, inadequate, and behind. Even when you perform well and receive praise, you still doubt your achievements, feeling unworthy or as though there's more you should be doing. It is incredibly challenging for you to communicate your feelings and needs to others because you feel guilty asking for help and fear you may burden others. But there's a way out.
