Experiencing that constant loop of negative thoughts, low mood and crippling fears that over power every part of your life, is exhausting. Practicing since 2008, I have worked with individuals, couples and families to challenge those loud critical voices within that you just can’t seem to quiet down. My commitment to you is to provide a warm and safe space for your mind and body to process difficult emotions, thoughts and experiences to regain a sense of stability, self control, and self compassion.
Opening pandora’s box of past traumatic memories is probably the most difficult thing you will ever do. It’s those very memories and haunting thoughts that hold you down like an anchor and can surface in the form of anxiety, depression, self-confidence, and self-worth. I will be walking alongside you to process and reconcile your past to thrive presently
Our counselling journey will include integrating diverse treatments that are specifically tailored to you. Together, we will ensure that you have the necessary tools in your toolbox to increase resiliency, feel empowered and to find a greater sense of purpose.

This is a psycho-therapeutic group, and a support group. As your therapist and group facilitator, I am committed to making this group a safe place for you to land, share your stories and struggles openly and honestly regarding motherhood. You will be given the opportunity to delve deeper into your own individual unhealthy patterns, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as they show up in group discussions. You will leave this group feeling understood, empowered, and supported with greater insight and tools to help navigate this role called motherhood!
