We support folk experiencing existential crisis, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues (including couples counselling), perinatal mental health concerns and more.
If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

I enjoy working with a variety of issues ranging from addiction, self-esteem issues, grief, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and perfectionism.
Imagine what it would feel like to begin moving from your hurt towards hope? Providing support for your healing process in a calm, non-judgemental space, is something I consider a privilege to be part of, as your therapist. By taking an active role in your life, and talking to a therapist, you are investing in yourself, your relationship, and your family. Clients will be provided with a safe space to reflect on, and process presenting issues and behaviours that may be affecting life. I will work with you to set goals, coping skills, and strategies towards areas of life you would like to modify for better quality of living.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or simply feel stuck, I would like to help.
I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling. We all have our struggles and sometimes talking with someone in a safe, supportive and confidential environment can help to see things differently, develop new skills to put toward problems, and create new meaning about your own personal story. The most important factor in the therapeutic relationship, as in any relationship, is feeling safe and understood. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and open space in which to deepen your self-awareness and reach your goals.

I have experience working with children, individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, relationship challenges, grief, low-self esteem, parenting, and attachment and more.
Virtual, Phone, and In Person sessions available (in person in Niagara Falls). Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. We can lose focus, motivation, or feel lost. That is okay, and absolutely normal. Having a supportive and safe space to express yourself, without fear of judgement can be beneficial. Identifying your goals, barriers, and your priorities can help organize your thoughts and start the path to healing. It can be tough to look forward when you are feeling stuck in one spot. Recognizing and reminding you of your strengths can be empowering. It can be hard to ask for help, so congratulations on taking the first step.

I am currently accepting new clients. I may be the right fit for you if the following reminds you of yourself. You’ve struggled with not feeling good enough for as long as you can remember. This has impacted your relationships and often leaves you feeling anxious and insecure. You tell yourself you should feel happy, but you don't. You’re confused, feeling lost and like you don't even know what you want or who you are. You’ve been trying to get better for some time. You've picked up books, followed how-to's, listened to podcasts and so on. And so far… nothing has worked.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
