Welcome! Let's face it, therapy isn't fun or easy: it's about problem solving! I am a registered psychologist and have been working in the field of psychology for over 15 years. I work with a diverse clientele with a wide range of concerns but what I have truly recognized is the importance of relationships to our satisfaction in life. Specializing in relationships means I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with their closest and most important relationships We have a biological need to connect, to belong, and our close relationships fill this need.

People tend to walk through life without slowing down enough to reflect on their lives and the decisions that they have made. Often people put one foot in front of the other and later realize that they are truly unhappy with how life has been going.Through therapy we will spend time finding out the root cause of what challenges are preventing true happiness. This process will help you understand how your challenges originated and help you learn to construct a new foundation.

You feel overwhelmed or numb and it hurts. The cycle of distressing feelings and fight-flight-freeze reactions keep you stuck. You hold it all inside, but no matter how hard you try, the emotions spill over and you snap at loved ones or shut down. Your mind tells you, "you are not good enough". You avoid taking action and relationships feel like a struggle because it’s hard to trust and let people in but you long to create connections with the ones you love. You can gain this connection! You don’t have to live in the past or in the future, you can learn to live in the present fully through awareness and active coping skills.

Sometimes we hit a place in our life journey where we realize we aren't where we want to be. In these moments, sitting down with someone to sort through where we actually want to be, and then working through the issues getting in the way of us reaching these goals can allow us to tranform our lives. Whether the issues are within your relationship, work, family, or things that happened in your past I would be honored to work with you to live your best life.

Looking for a potential therapist can be almost as overwhelming as being in therapy, but I’m glad you’re taking this important first step. Life is good at throwing curveballs that aren’t easy to dodge. I can’t stop the curveballs, but I can help you navigate them so they feel less overwhelming. As a Social Worker with over ten years of counselling experience, I have helped children, youth, and adults navigate the ups and downs of their emotions. Whether you or your child are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, self-harm, obsessive thoughts, or attention difficulties, I can tailor my therapy to fit your needs.

Whether you want to address past experiences or build a different future for yourself, deciding to go to therapy can be a difficult step. It is important to me that I provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever brings you to counselling. People are not “one size fits all” and I use a variety of therapies to meet my clients where they are at and help them achieve their goals. My interests lie in working with adults with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, infertility, eco-grief, self-compassion, life transitions, relationships, and supporting survivors of trauma and sexual violence.

Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

Life is NOT easy! We did not sign up for many of the difficulties we face most days. More often than not, we simply feel STUCK. We find ourselves in personal and relational situations where we are completely stumped as to how to make effective changes. Other times we DO know what is best, but an inner reaction takes over–and we can't seem to do that right thing! Hello! So frustrating! Maybe your thoughts or feelings seem like they are out of your control, and you just need help to sort them out and find a way forward. I can help you with any of these challenges.

I enjoy supporting folks with dysregulated nervous systems, and those who struggle with sexuality-related concerns. I have extensive training in somatic/holistic modalities and also have training in supporting clients with sexuality-related concerns.
