Welcome, I'm glad you are here. Everyone needs a safe place sometimes, a place to untangle and explore thoughts and feelings without them being judged. If your relationship is hurting you and you are worried that therapy will push you to leave before you ready or try to mend it when you are ready to move on, that's not my approach. I understand those struggles first hand. I am here to support you through whatever it is you need right now. I also have deep understanding and compassion for those who have mood disorders or personality disorders and am honoured to support you.

My practice focuses on helping people who are facing challenges during difficult life changes, such as dealing with anxiety and depression. I take pride in assisting individuals through important stages of life, such as transitioning to post-secondary education, entering adulthood, and becoming parents. I also have a lot of experience working with people who have eating disorders. My research for my dissertation focuses on understanding the needs of caregivers raising a child with an eating disorder. Finally, as an amateur performer myself, I have a particular passion for working with amateur and professional performers.

You are exhausted! You know that you could feel more fulfilled but you're not sure what to do next. You worry all the time, your energy is depleted, managing daily tasks feel impossible and you aren't feeling too great about yourself. You have a sense that your life should be different than this, that you should have a more meaningful purpose. Maybe you even know what that purpose is- but you're scared. Scared of being misunderstood, humiliated, rejected. Scared of failing. I know what that feels like. And if you're willing, I can help guide you through it.

Vulnerability can be incredibly scary! Finding someone we genuinely connect with, someone with whom we feel comfortable enough to share our personal stories, can feel challenging. Hi, my name is Ines (she/her). I, too, have been in the same place you are now. That's why my primary focus is to create a safe enough, supportive, and compassionate space where you can share your journey, and I will be there to listen. Drawing from my own experiences with mental health, I am deeply passionate about this work and firmly believe in the significance of understanding the mind-body-soul connection.

Do you ever struggle with feeling disconnected from others or even yourself? Do you ever think that life should be easier? Do you ever feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost due to the pressure to live up to other people's standards, or to just get through the day? Do you ever question, wonder, or hope that things could be better? So many people are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, & anxious about how to manage their careers, relationships, and lives. Neglecting your own needs and not taking time for yourself often leads to difficulties for both your mind and body. I believe that it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

Are you experiencing chronic pain, illness or anxiety? Are you a first responder trying to cope with flashbacks, nightmares and panic as a result of constant exposure to trauma? Are you looking for something more than standard talk therapy? You may think “my stuff isn't as bad as the next person”, however, our struggles aren’t measured by the event(s), they are based on our unique lens, physical reactions and experience. Feelings of numbness, shame, and anger are all perfectly valid reactions to any painful experience. Early intervention is key to avoiding longterm damage. Lets work together to get you the relief you deserve.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded on the belief that all people carry inherent worth and value. I take a holistic view of clients, people are multidimensional, and every aspect, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual, play a role in subjective well-being. I rely upon the perspective that clients are the experts of their lives, which is invaluable in tailoring my approach specific to you. I believe strongly that no one has a monopoly on normality. The nuanced approach I take for every client is rooted in my belief that every person is unique and deserves an approach tailored specifically to them.

Life can be challenging and complicated. We might be able to deal with most of the problems that come our way, and sometimes we face a problem that feels hard to manage on our own (and we shouldn’t have to do it alone!). This problem may be something we are battling with internally or with people in our lives. It can be beyond our control or we might not know how to solve it or even where to start. Many of us find it hard to manage or regulate our emotions. Let me support you in discovering the strength and resilience you have hiding beneath these challenges and let’s work together to overcome the things that are holding you back.
