Can you relate to these? Anxiety and self doubt. Unexpected challenges or changes in your life. Drinking/eating/thinking/ scrolling too much. The pull of perfectionism. Constantly running to attain what we think we're supposed to chase after. Wondering why some of our reactions and behaviours happen. Hating some aspects of ourselves and really not showing up in a way that we know we can. And seeking answers to all of this and just not finding it in therapy.

Waitlist for new clients
Feeling exhausted? Stuck? You are tired of having to do it all alone. For years you have been struggling. The house, the job, the career, the family. They said we should and could have it all. You have accomplished so much but feel so empty. You have thought about asking for help for years but have been too afraid to face yourself, face your trauma. I'm here and it's time.

Accepting New Clients (As of Nov. '24) - I take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of therapeutic styles to create a personalized experience that works for you. I favour experiential modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, which helps us explore and understand the different parts of you that may have conflicting needs or desires—for example, one part may long for love while another fears commitment. By working with these parts, we can reduce inner conflict and foster more balance and self-compassion. Alongside IFS, I incorporate practical and grounded tools from cognitive modalities.

My passion is to help people regain their inner peace and happiness to live a pleasurable fulfilled life. Life is full of ups, downs and challenges that we are often not prepared for. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but the what matters comes from how many times you get up. I believe the greatest accomplishment is who you become while picking yourself back up. Each new day gives you a fresh start to get back on track and to have the courage to rebuild yourself the way you desire. In therapy we would work collaboratively to address your needs and to determine how best to meet these needs.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress of daily life? Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed. You may feel burdened by past trauma or a current crisis, or maybe you are experiencing conflict at home with family, friends or at work. It can sometimes seem impossible to find balance, inner peace, and happiness. Firstly, you are not alone, but your struggles are personal, and can feel isolating and lonely. The truth is that many people find it difficult to acknowledge that they are suffering, and reaching out for help can be tough to do. Sometimes, we forget that taking care of ourselves is important and also worth the effort.

Prioritizing yourself can be so tough. Between caring for our families, work commitments, and the daily grind of life - it can be too easy to let our own self care fall to the wayside. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck, spending our time scrolling mindlessly on social media instead of doing the things that are most important to us. I work with parents to help them reconnect with themselves, get unstuck from tricky thoughts that get in the way, and move towards what's most important to them. You are worthy of taking this time for yourself, and you don't have to navigate it alone!

I believe that within all of us lies the potential to heal, to change, and to grow. Sometimes that potential gets clouded by the events in our lives and it can feel impossible to see a path forward. Maybe you’re feeling hopeless, or trapped in endless cycles of self-hatred. Maybe you’ve experienced things that were out of your control and are impacting the way you relate to yourself and exist in the world. Maybe you’re facing challenges related to trauma, fear, or shame, which have impacted the way you treat your body. That’s where I come in. Together, we will work towards creating the life that you want to live.
