If you come to see me, you will probably laugh sometimes. That might surprise some people who think of therapy as something serious. I think of therapy as something that's very human. Sure, we will probably talk about upsetting things - that's why you're going, after all, because something is distressing and not working. But sometimes finding the humour in our situations is part of what needs to happen. Laughter, tears, "Ah ha!" moments - they're all there and important.

We all experience difficult events in our lives. Some of these events happened a long time ago, and have influenced the way that we interact with ourselves and the world. Some of these events are more recent and throw us off the course we were on. We can become stuck in ways of being that are no longer helpful to us end up causing distress. I believe therapy can be a helpful way to process what has or is happening in our lives and encourage healthy adaptation and growth, so we can live our lives with more peace, happiness and connection.

We all want to live with meaning and purpose—to be authentic, compassionate, accepting, patient, and forgiving with ourselves and the people in our lives. Sometimes difficult life experiences can cause us to lose sight of this genuine way of being, so we become closed off from ourselves and others. In other words, we feel stuck… As a therapist, I offer helpful options to getting unstuck. Together we will begin to explore and understand what has contributed to these blocks, as well as uncovering and applying strengths, resources, and skills towards a solution.

One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

Hi, I'm a registered social worker and my practice draws upon various approaches to find a fit that works for you. I work in a way that respects your individuality, where you come from, your inherent skills and value. I aim to help people live joyful, fulfilling lives despite the challenges they may have experienced. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, which is a powerful approach that can be used with very little talking if someone prefers not to talk much. Brainspotting is similar to EMDR, but more person-centered, and can quickly and effectively result in change for a variety of emotionally and bodily based conditions.

When I began my Practice in 1990, I knew that I was blessed to have landed in a role that captured my brain and my heart but I never could have imagined that it would bring me to the place I am today. Life is full of challenges. It is also potentially full of joys and celebrations. If you find yourself in a difficult or confusing time in your life, give me a call. I can promise a warm and attentive environment as we work together. Please note that I will see you individually, in your relationship, or, within your family unit.

Life conflicts, trauma, and stress can steer us away from our core; it can also prevent us from living our best lives. Honoring your story and understanding how all of these hardships can impact your everyday life and your choices and life decisions is one of the effective ways to look inside ourselves. It will also provide you with a clear picture of what you are not satisfied with, what makes you stressed, and if your social relationships work for you or not.

We’re human. And as humans, there will be times where we need the presence of a kind, compassionate, and non-judgemental other to walk alongside us through our struggles, circumstances, and suffering. That’s what my practice is all about: using the gift of the therapeutic relationship to create space for us to explore and experience our emotions in a way that helps us feel empowered to re-write the problem-saturated stories we tell about ourselves into stories that are life-giving, true, and sacred. When it comes to your frustrations, fears, struggles, suffering, and existential questioning, you don't need to walk alone.

The counselling process is an opportunity you can choose to explore the issues affecting your quality of life. My approach is to work with you to improve your understanding of these issues and introduce additional strategies for you to reduce the negative impact they are causing.
