Let’s embark on this journey together, making progress towards a more fulfilling life!.
With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

I have always been fascinated by human relationships and behaviours and people’s unique stories and life experiences.
You may encounter a stressful event or face a challenging period in your life. You may experience low mood, suffer from a lack of motivation, or feel stuck. You may want to talk through past experiences to better understand them and see how they still impact your current life. Being in a state of distress can affect your mental health and quality of life. Counselling therapy can help. I am a compassionate, experienced therapist and I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore your questions with you.

Our thinking and beliefs, often lead to difficulties in life so I support you in building awareness so that you may see your life with clarity and self-compassion.
If you are dealing with a recent trauma or trauma in the past that you believe may be holding you back and are easily triggered by things you feel should not be so hard to deal with, if you are sad or constantly anxious and worried, or if you are feeling that life is pulling you down and you are not sure how to get back on track, maybe trauma, old beliefs and habitual patterns are keeping you from finding enjoyment in your life. These things are challenging to deal with on your own sometimes but by building awareness and working through them with support and building inner resources you can live life with more peace and enjoyment.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a loss of a sense of self, that affects your ability to positively regard who you are and your purpose? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, alone or stressed by life's responsibilities, like responding to emails, transitions either from work to home or school? Do you wonder if your sense of self could be better fostered through your ability to deal with these challenges? Now more than ever, all people, are feeling a heightened sense of anxiousness, fatigue and pressure to make ends meet while maintaining healthy relationships and meeting society's expectations.

Sometimes, some coaching about establishing better habits (or stopping problematic ones) is tremendously helpful.
Some of us feel challenged by anxiety, depression, or anger. Some by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, or in the workplace. Parenting never fails to challenge our best intentions, or we can also find ourselves repeating behaviours and ways of thinking that no longer work for us. My clients are typically active partners in change – sometimes to change those habitual behaviours or ways of thinking, sometimes to interact more effectively, sometimes to nourish personal growth, and sometimes just to clarify and explore.

Important to me is honouring the whole of you: your ancestral, creative, and spiritual gifts; your deep innate wisdom and intuitive knowing; your intimate belonging to the land and natural world; your erotic intelligence and sensory aliveness; and your ability to dream-forward and cultivate a “heart-centred” life.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in relational, embodied, and trauma-sensitive approaches to growth, transformation, and healing. In addition to “everyday” therapeutic issues that I work with, the following are my areas of specialty: relationship issues, sexual desire & intimacy, women’s issues, low self-esteem, disconnection from intuition & inner guidance, body image, disordered eating, grief & loss, codependency, avoidance issues, addictions (including sex & love, drug & alcohol, shopping, food, etc.), trauma including relational trauma (abandonment, neglect, enmeshment, abuse), depression, and attachment injuries.

First, is understanding how OCD works and how it tries to keep a grip in your life.
I believe in the importance of understanding, trust, connection & belonging in the therapeutic relationship as the place where change can begin. Are you experiencing OCD and Anxiety and just feeling stuck. Are you feeling tired and exhausted of doubt controlling your life? Feeling as if your trapped in the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that when you finally have some relief, OCD is right back it again. Have you ever wished you had a remote control or tools where you could just turn down the noise. You don't have to face OCD alone, remember OCD wants you for itself, and its time to start to breaking OCD rules.

I do not take for granted when I am chosen to work through the most vulnerable parts of an individuals life.
In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.
