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.

Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

I believe each relationship, regardless of how challenging the problems seem, has the potential to become a place of safety and support.
Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you worried about your relationship with your child? Are you a new parent trying to navigate the changes in your growing family? The family system can be very complicated and coming to therapy can assist you in better understanding yourself and your loved ones. As a couples and family therapist, I specialize in relationships & the impact they have on our mental wellness. I work with couples & families with a range of issues including marital satisfaction, communication, conflict, parenting struggles, adjustment to life transitions (marriage, new parents, retirement).

I have extensive experience providing therapy and education on a wide range of mental health topics to youth, adults, families and communities. I help people struggling with symptoms consistent with their diagnosed disorders, such as anxiety, and mood disorders as well as those struggling with a compilation of stress in their lives, such as job, family/ relationship, trauma, grief or addictions. At times we need extra support and guidance in dealing with life's challenges. I like to build on a person's strengths empowering them to make positive changes, reducing their negative coping and negative thought patterns.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us. If you are feeling stuck in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviours due to issues such as family conflict, relationship issues, trauma, mental health issues, loss, or addictions, therapy can help you to grow and connect with yourself and those close to you again. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner or family, my approach focuses on helping you to find more presence, compassion, and clarity in your life and relationships.

Are you going through a transition in your life that is evoking feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness and overwhelm? Are you feeling stuck making difficult decisions and feeling unsure about what to do next? I have been a practicing clinical social worker/therapist since 2002 and have many years experience working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss. I have a special interest in helping people navigate the complex world of grief, loss and periods of transition in their life. I know that therapy can be confronting and I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach.

Throughout my extensive and varied professional experience I have had the privilege to work with clients in many different contexts. Some of the topics and challenges I’ve helped clients with include anxiety, depression, family/parent conflict, relationship struggles, motivation, abandonment issues, boundary setting, shame, vulnerability, communication skills, anger, identity, gender, sexuality, trauma, suicidal ideation and substance use. I believe everyone has many examples of resilience in their life, which I work to celebrate and help clients build upon. I value safe and affirming care practices for all identities.

I deeply value relationships, which includes your relationship to yourself, others, and our own therapeutic relationship.
I work with individuals, couples and families from all walks of life, ages, sexualities, gender identities, abilities and belief systems. I practice from an anti-oppressionist position and value equality in and out of the therapy space.

Most importantly, I am aware of my relationship with my clients.
"Better communication" is how most people summarize their therapeutic goals for a reason. Sometimes it seems like an impossible task to feel understood by others. I am deeply committed to comforting and guiding individuals and couples who struggle with the internal and external conflicts that result from feeling misunderstood. I facilitate improvements in communication with an approach that streamlines the process of therapy by identifying and working on eradicating our issues from their foundation.

Another passion of mine is therapy for youth and creating a space that children and adolescents can feel safe to be themselves and express their creativity while learning coping strategies & building self-esteem. Each person has their own unique intersectionality of characteristics, and I want you to feel safe to be yourself.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
