I am a registered Psychologist Candidate (C. Psych Cand.) with the Psychological Association of MB. I work collaboratively with clients to regain balance in their lives using evidence-based treatments. Therapy can be used in many different ways: to process emotions and trauma, to increase mindfulness and understanding, to learn new skills to cope with challenges, as well as to gain perspective or advice. Some common presenting concerns I work with in therapy are neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, perfectionism, emotion regulation, sleep, parent coaching, trauma, mood + suicidality, among others.

Ready for something else? Life, and our relationships, can be messy, complicated, filled with emotions, and sometimes hard to navigate. If you seek help in making sense of your own past experiences or are ready to create new experiences (or identity) for yourself...you are in the right place.

Hello and welcome! It might be difficult to put into words what you’re looking for in therapy- that is a valid starting place, and one I’m personally familiar with. Maybe you feel like you’re meeting external expectations and are ‘getting things done’, but masking an internal experience that’s more complex, leaving you feeling exhausted, unseen, and stuck. Perhaps you struggle with serving the needs of others first and use unhelpful habits to cope with emotions and get through day-to-day. Things don’t have to reach a boiling point before you seek support or prioritize your well-being.

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!

Waitlist for new clients
Therapy is as much about learning as it is about "un-learning". I'm passionate about supporting people to identify, challenge and replace their self-limiting stories (i.e.: "I'm not good enough", "I don't belong", "my needs don't matter") with more adaptive and affirming beliefs. With compassion, skill, and a healthy dose of humour, I invite people to get curious about the parts of themselves that feel stuck, lost, reactive, or broken. By befriending these parts and honouring their survival strategies, they inevitably learn to soften the list of "shoulds", judgements, and fears.

I have been helping people for over 40 years using a multifaceted approach. I work from the position of deep respect for all individuals. Presently, I use biofeedback in my practice. This allows me to assist clients with their physical, mental, and spiritual issues. I also use tools such as neuro-linguistic programming and Hypnosis. When a client’s suffering has manifested physically in her/his/their body, I often use pain-free electro acupuncture and laser therapy, taking into account the client's comfort level. It is the intention that clients will leave with a skill level that will help them create a quality life.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
