Living comes with hardships. Maybe you’re worrying all the time and you don’t know how to stop, or finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning. Perhaps you’re weathering the storm of loss or feeling beaten down by self-judgment. When we are in pain, we need support. As your therapist, I will offer that support by providing a safe and nurturing space for you to process what hurts and move toward healing.

As your Counsellor, I bring commitment and compassion to everything I do, including my work with my clients. I have been right where you are. Chances are, you’ve already tried a number of strategies including self-help strategies, exercise, yoga, medication, meditation, books or podcasts, and natural remedies. Although some of them might have helped a bit, you are still feeling stuck. Life just doesn’t feel as good as it should, and your relationships are suffering. You find yourself reacting to things you wouldn’t normally, and not being able to handle things as well as you typically are.

When you are looking for a therapist, one of the most important things aside from training and approaches used is the personality fit! Over the years as a Psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some! For that reason, I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to choose from.
