Hi, how are you feeling today? You may not always get to answer that question honestly. My hope is that one day you will, as you become more in tune with your emotions and your life. I specialize in substance/alcohol addictions, borderline personality disorder, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, and mood/anxiety imbalance. I like to focus on the impact your concerns may have on you, your environment, and your past/present family dynamics. I practice a psychodynamic and narrative approach to psychotherapy, which looks like walking alongside you, hearing your story, and exploring the best path to healing &wellness.

Adults finding ADHD symptoms are impairing their personal relationships and/or professional role may need new coping strategies. Compassion and curiosity guide my support of young adults (& teens 15 or older) with ADHD, whose impulsivity or poor organizational skills often burdens them with guilt and low self-esteem. If a mood disorder or anxiety is interfering with thriving in your workplace role, together we will develop self-soothing practices for your emotional regulation and occupational success. To nurture clients' bounce-back from trauma or help couples stuck in conflict, I draw upon my clinical training and lived experience.

I work with human beings, so everyone experiences complex feelings differently. The one common denominator is that clients who receive psychotherapy seem ready to process past traumatic or challenging experiences that continue to interfere with their current mental health and well-being.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.

When you are so focused on simply getting through each day, it can be easy to begin to lose yourself, forgetting who you are, and what you want. Therapy can be a doorway to healing from past trauma and discovering yourself anew. You can learn to find peace and balance in your life, and cultivate a deeper understanding of what care you need, and how much support you can give to others. I offer therapy for people struggling with trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, post-partum mental health concerns, ADHD, Autism, and newcomers to Canada who want to talk about this big life change.
