The core of my approach is person-centred and humanistic-based because of its emphasis on building a strong therapeutic relationship, empathy, and congruence.
I am currently taking on new individual clients from both Ontario and British Columbia. I aim to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can delve into your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and actions on your terms. Together, we'll explore how you can gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, behaviours, and relationships, and develop strategies for coping with life changes and stressors. Additionally, we will work collaboratively to find what approach and interventions work best for you and your needs.

Do you have responses that seem out of alignment with a triggering event, or emotions coming from unknown places, lingering uncomfortably long? Are you or your loved one navigating addiction, recovery, or a mental health condition? Are you curious about developments in the field of psychedelic medicine, or have questions about harm-reduction and integrative meaning making? Perhaps you are having internal conflicts with your self, your identity, allyship and settler status, or life/work direction? Or maybe you just need a confidential, nonjudgmental, supportive space to express yourself?

We are spiritual beings experiencing life in human form, but the challenges of our human condition can often overwhelm us. Spirituality involves reconnecting with our true nature as spiritual beings and pure awareness. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, helps us heal and release the burdens we carry throughout life, while also fully embracing our human nature. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, life transitions, or struggles in relationships, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover your inner wisdom and resilience.

The last few years have been hard on everyone, and you may have experienced new relational stress, financial stress, and anxiety about what the future might hold. Like many people, you might find yourself overwhelmed or feeling helpless. These stresses and pressures can affect your work, your relationships and your loved ones as well. If you are struggling in these tough times, I can help you find new ways to cope and manage. Together we can identify the root of your stress, find ways to cope with it, and manage your anxiety. My goal in counselling is to go beyond giving you ways to live with your problems.

We are all faced with difficulties throughout our lives, and the way we receive them will help to determine the outcome. As we age, we experience mental and physical changes that can lead to numerous challenges along the way. Maintaining healthy relationships may become difficult as we age. Being someone's caregiver is a significant challenge you may be struggling with. Now more than ever finances play a big role, especially if one member of the family requires costly care. Having healthy relationships and enjoying life can be extremely difficult when faced with one or more of these issues. However, it is possible, and I can help!

Vulnerability can make us feel very uncomfortable, but if we view it as a transition, into higher self-esteem/confidence & therefore more life resilience then it is much healthier to forge ahead to find a therapist who can support us. Finding the best fit in seeking a therapist is the most important step in relieving your stress. Many of us struggle with unhappiness, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, sleep deprivation, separation, divorce, conflict resolution, trauma, relationship, and parenting issues, emotion regulation, communication and assertiveness, boundaries, personal development, caregiver burden and so much more
