I'm very passionate about the therapeutic process and how transformative it can be. I believe that by sharing a safe space where we are able to be seen, heard, and understood, beautiful things can happen and a healthy space inside of us open, allowing traumas and emotions to move through us.

Are you high-functioning and competent on the outside, but a hot mess on the inside? Under your mask, do you secretly struggle with anxiety, not feeling good enough, poor boundaries, a sense of emptiness, and/or difficulties in your primary relationships? If so, isn't it time you cultivated a relationship with the REAL you, the one who has gotten lost underneath all of those long-standing negative emotional and relational patterns? I know you're still in there. And it would be an honor to help re-connect YOU with YOU, so that you can experience more ease, clarity, presence, emotional awareness, and authenticity in your life.

What a courageous step you're taking, to reach out for help. I honour what you've been through to bring you to this moment. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and trying to "hold it all together", or maybe your needs are falling to the bottom of the priority list.

If you yearn to: know and trust yourself more deeply, be more gentle and tender with yourself, and feel the freedom to be yourself, I am here to support your journey.

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.

“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional”. This wisdom reflects my approach to therapy. You can’t prevent storms from happening, you can hardly stop others from hurting you, and you may never get rid of your inner critic’s voice entirely. There's no way to erase the memories of past traumas. Yet, there surely is a way to lessen the burden, to ease the struggle, to change your relationship with others and - most importantly - with Self. Discover your way to cease the unnecessary suffering and reclaim balance and joy. How?

I am a therapist who works from where people are at, wherever that may be. This involves being non-judgemental, respectful, and providing a safe environment where individuals can work through and explore their personal issues. I have over 20 years experience that also includes working in the field of mental health outpatient services. When someone enters my virtual office, I try to fully understand, to the best of my ability, that individual's circumstance so that we can work collaboratively together and meet that person's goals. Together we explore one's inner and outer experience.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
