I work with individuals age 16+ and couples who are looking for support navigating chronic illness and complex medical issues, infertility (IVF), bereavement, anxiety, life transitions, and stress/burnout.
Life can feel impossible at times. We all experience trauma throughout our lifetime. Trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or threatening and has lasting adverse effects. I aim to create a space free of judgement where you feel supported, heard and validated. I believe in meeting people where they are at while taking into consideration ones physical, social, emotional and spiritual well-being. I pull from evidence-based strategies such as self-compassion, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic therapy.

My therapeutic offerings are rooted in the belief that every individual intuitively initiates a process of self-exploration and self-expression from birth. Sometimes this wisdom gets thwarted or stuck due to familial, social, situational and/or societal conditions and experiences. I believe that given the opportunity, and rooted in a foundation of empowering connection, individuals can come to align with their unique self and expressions again.

The increased pace of change in our lives has created new pressures for men in their relationships, work, and roles. Out of these shifts and unresolved past experiences can come confusing feelings of anxiety, anger or loss. I provide a safe and relaxed space for men to become curious about problems to explore growth and change. As an Art Therapist, I combine a creative process with other talk therapy approaches, like Internal Family Systems and Narrative Therapy. (No art skills required.) I support men struggling with grief, life transitions, addictions, trauma, parenting, relationships, and men's issues.

Hi, I'm a registered social worker and my practice draws upon various approaches to find a fit that works for you. I work in a way that respects your individuality, where you come from, your inherent skills and value. I aim to help people live joyful, fulfilling lives despite the challenges they may have experienced. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, which is a powerful approach that can be used with very little talking if someone prefers not to talk much. Brainspotting is similar to EMDR, but more person-centered, and can quickly and effectively result in change for a variety of emotionally and bodily based conditions.

How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
