There are no clinical issues that I am not comfortable with. I will hold space for whatever you bring and especially enjoy peeling back the layers of those with childhood trauma who find it impacts their ability to experience safe relationships as adults. I can help with issues related to addiction, and the fall out effect on families and relationships. I really enjoy helping people deal with personal impact of narcissism, BPD and emotional regulation disorders in a parent, children or spouse. I also welcome those with BPD and Quiet BPD. I can also help anyone caught in the turmoil of infidelity. You will find clarity with me.

Some people seek my help to deal with current life struggles, a significant loss, or a change or life transition. For some, past childhood and/or adult abuse have had long-lasting effects on who they are and how they feel in the world. Often, people are looking for help to manage better and flourish more in life. I offer individual adult therapy for these issues. As a professional with over 20 years of experience, I also offer consultation to other therapists; I welcome questions about this aspect of my practice.

Do you feel like you are unable to calm? Do you feel anxious and judged by others? Do you feel restless, irritable, and stuck in "on" mode in this ready-to-react mode? Do you have persistent negative thinking, extreme emotional fluctuations, and repeating the same actions and patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to lift your mood? These are among some of the many symptoms of trauma. Trauma changes the nervous system and the ability to regulate our nervous system is directly correlated with our mental health. EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy can help heal the nervous system, by processing and releasing trauma stored in the body.

As a registered clinical counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the challenges of life and achieve their full potential. With a strong background in psychology and a deep understanding of human behavior, I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
