You deserve a soft landing where you can express the unexpressed and explore the things that make you human. My intention is to assist you with accessing your deeper truth and authentic self - helping you find your way back home to you. My approach is to care for the soul with loving compassion and create a safe and supportive environment where you can improve your relationship with self and others. I use a trauma-informed approach and work with folks holistically on varying issues (anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, grief, burnout) to bring healing, understanding, and hope.

Life is an absolutely bonkers, breathtaking, soul wrenching and exquisite journey and we’re all in it together. I wholeheartedly believe we are stronger than we think and capable of healing and living a fulfilled and balanced life. I am passionate about grief and loss, and all that may come with that: depression, anxiety, loss of perspective and purpose. My style is to approach things with curiosity, acceptance and a dash of humor.

Are you holding it together on the outside but on the inside it feels VERY different? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you should be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. I believe change happens through compassionate accompaniment in intentionally held spaces that allow us to explore and integrate parts of ourselves that are causing inner tensions. Through an accepting and supportive environment therapy helps to regulate emotion and promote lasting change.

If you’re here, you may have found yourself feeling consistently unhappy, stressed, anxious or depressed in your day to day life. Experiences in our childhood, our friendships, or romantic relationships can leave us stuck in a place that we soon come to realize just does not feel good. For many of us, it can be difficult to understand these emotions, let alone talk about them.

Your sex or relationship issues leave your life feeling like it is in turmoil even outside of the bedroom. You’ve tried to manage things on your own, but it’s a struggle, and you’re tired of struggling. Friends and family don’t understand, but it’s not like this is something you can talk to them about anyway. And even if there is that one friend that you can talk to, they don’t really know what to say.

When my daughter was only three months old my husband got suddenly extremely sick, to the point that he almost didn’t make it.

It was time for me to do what I always wanted to do in life, to help others find ways to fulfill there lives to the fullest as well as help people transition through difficult circumstances.

In life, change is the only constant. I heard that a lot in my life, but the only time it resonated with me was when the change was so difficult to bear. As a psychotherapist, I am mindful of how as humans, we encounter life experiences that could leave us in despair. I offer this safe space to support you as you go through your unique journey by highlighting and empowering you along the way and ensuring that your experiences are honoured, your voice is heard, your emotions are validated and most of all, your decisions are supported. My approach to therapy is focused on your needs, personal strengths, and desired goals.
