Hi and welcome! I believe therapy can be beneficial for anyone and is an opportunity to talk about and explore ways to improve quality of life. While traditionally thought of as a way to help work through a problem or mental health issue, it doesn't have to be engaged in only when facing a particular challenge. Therapy can extend beyond resolving problems and achieving life satisfaction and can be about thriving and getting the most out of life. My goal is to support you to be the version of yourself you would like to be and to create the same for your life.

Challenges such as low self worth, anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, trauma, addiction, & grief provide an opportunity to grow. If you are feeling stuck in the same pattern of thinking and struggling with your personal and interpersonal relationships, it's time to change the way you think about yourself, your circumstances, and those around you. My passion is to empower individuals, couples, and families to develop new pathways of thinking, establish deeper connections and overcome obstacles.

We all go through difficulties in our lives, ranging from frustrating, distressing, to traumatic. Mental Health struggles can complicate our interaction with the world, causing problems in many parts of life, including socially, with family, in employment or legally. Getting some advice, coping techniques or in depth treatment can be helpful to provide relief to yourself and improve interactions with those around you.

As a Psychotherapist, I understand the critical role an individual's mental health plays in one's daily life, which is why therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Hence, I ensure that when I am extending counselling support and resources to my clients, I approach each session and interaction with the mindset of prioritizing my client's needs by implementing counselling interventions and techniques that consider the biopsychosocial framework of my client while also implementing and maintaining an intersectional approach in addressing their presenting issues, as we all are multi-dimensional.

Are you tired of feeling controlled by negative thoughts and emotions? Do you struggle with addiction or self-destructive behaviours? Did you experience a difficult childhood or trauma(s) in life? If so, you are not alone. Studies show you are more likely to develop addiction due to childhood trauma's impact on brain development- particularly in the regions related to emotional regulation, impulse control, and reward processing. Trauma can lead to ADHD, PTSD, and maladaptive coping mechanisms- such as substance use to manage emotions and memories. This is survival mode, not dysfunction. No one wants to feel pain, and there is help.

Have you experienced grief or loss? Are you going through a life transition? Are you living with health challenges, chronic or acute illness? Have you experienced injury and trauma?

Through psychotherapy you can learn about yourself, identify and access your strengths, process past or present experience, gain valuable insight, build your resilience, examine beliefs and identify what you would like to change and how to go about moving forward.

Are you ready for a transformative journey that embraces change and vulnerability? Whether you're an adult navigating life transitions, dealing with day-to-day stressors, or a teen exploring identity, managing anxiety, and addressing self-esteem with ever-changing emotional needs, readiness for personal growth is the key. In our journey together, we'll work side by side to create goals that are specific, measurable, and real—just like you. These goals serve as a personalized roadmap, carefully crafted to fit your unique needs and guide you toward personal growth
