You’ve been through so much. Life has thrown you curve balls, and it isn’t always fair. It’s been overwhelming to say the least. You are doing your utmost best to keep it together in a hectic world with work stress, complex relationships, and unhealed wounds. Working together, we can understand the source of your emotional pain, increase your self-awareness and understanding and help you learn to self-validate. My belief is that you have the tools and wisdom you need to heal, already within you; my role as a therapist is to help you access it.

It can seem daunting to reach out for help when feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or incomplete. I aim to create a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative approach in which we work together to identify your concerns and goals, understand obstacles you are facing, and learn skills to grow and evolve. Before we start, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together will be a good fit.

We all face challenges in life and can lose a sense of ourselves. I strive to uncover a person’s authentic self, in allowing them to understand their purpose and bring empowerment and healing. During our meetings, it is important for me to create an alliance with you from a non-judgemental space that fosters trust. I value all parts of a person that are conflicted, afraid, ashamed, and parts that appear relentless.

My therapy style has been described as warm and playful, conversational and collaborative. If that is what you are looking for, I would love to continue to chat about what your concerns are and how you would like things in your life to look differently. I offer an inclusive and safe space to navigate life’s challenges and become your authentic self. I have helped others process anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. My formal training and lived experiences also enable me to help clients navigate issues like major life transitions, career exploration, academic concerns, faith/spirituality, immigration and motherhood.

If trauma, abuse, and mental illness have left you feeling like you’re lost in the darkness, you’re not alone. It’s perfectly natural that the difficult emotions and loneliness you feel have cast a shadow over your life. But though the darkness may feel crushing, there is hope and light. The truth is your painful past does not mean that you are stuck with an unhappy future, and though your mental health might feel like it has taken charge of your life, it does not define you. As we work together, I’ll help you discover that you are much more than your circumstances, that your life matters, and that you have a powerful purpose.

How to find hope? If you are feeling stuck, engaging in therapy can help you get moving again. You are seeking CHANGE. You feel stuck or you are sliding into habits that cause pain and suffering. Insecurity and conflict are things you are experiencing more than you want to. You may have turned to substances to numb the pain. It takes courage to seek support. Healing begins in the presence of someone who cares and tries to understand your journey. I can offer you that support.

I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

In my practice, I help clients who feel disempowered by life’s challenges. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, assertiveness, relationship conflict, trauma, physical illness and spiritual crisis. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and non-judmental space for my clients to discuss their concerns and be their authentic selves. I will help connect the body and mind to deepen emotional exploration and to release any tension from the body. I will incorporate my client’s spiritual life in the therapeutic process to facilitate emotional healing and spiritual development.

When you’re feeling stuck, trapped, or overwhelmed it can seem like there’s no way out; you might shut down, lash out, or panic. Breaking through begins with learning what you need to support yourself. Whether or not you identify with having experienced trauma, neglect, or abuse, the effect that our environment has on us can impact our feelings of safety and self-worth, showing up as anxiety, panic, fear, anger, depression, and countless other physical and mental responses.
