You do not need to suffer one second longer! I was once crippled by grief, depression and anxiety. I found the path to freedom, and now live a joyful life full of love and laughter. I offer a mature perspective shaped by years of experience gleaned from my own emotional growth as well as that of my clients. I continue to grow and study healing modalities such as mindfulness, meditation, CBT, tapping, as well as the power of self compassion, attachment and spirituality through courses, conferences and literary research. My greatest joy is guiding others onto their own path of joy, love and laughter. I look forward to meeting you!

Waitlist for new clients
My approach is holistic and integrative, incorporating elements of humanistic, mindfulness, cbt, and somatic attachment therapy.
Life can challenge each of us in various ways and it can be difficult to imagine a clear path forward. I work with youth and adults to help them find the momentum to create a more joyful, balanced life where their needs and desires can be met. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, a recent diagnosis, low self-esteem, stress, relationships issues, or life transitions, just remember that these experiences are temporary and can be transformed. My goal is to provide you with access to a safe, non-judgemental space to explore where you feel stuck, to find healthier ways of coping, and locate your unique strengths and gifts.

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!

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors

How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?

Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
