Whether you feel stuck in a loop or trying to adjust to changing life circumstances, if you are feeling debilitated by fear, apathy, frustration, anger or isolation; therapy can help. Exploring your emotions, thinking patterns and automated behaviours within the framework of your own life story is often considered a liberating journey. A journey that can be creative and playful as much as it is informative and containing.

You are an adult that struggles with problems that may interfere with your relationships and day to day functioning such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. You hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others and feel disappointed when you do not achieve perfection. You may be a partner, parent, or caregiver for other people who you prioritize above yourself. You probably recognize that you have needs that are not getting met, but you struggle to even identify what those needs are. You are looking for solutions that will lead to lasting improvement and you are desperate to feel better.

Life can present challenging experiences that can leave us feeling stuck or broken and keep us from living the life we want. I empower clients to overcome this and to return to the wholeness that is their true nature. I work with teens and young adults who experience high levels of stress or anxiety, depression, relentless self-blame or shame, perfectionism, burn-out, low self-esteem, relationship issues, difficulty in regulating and/or expressing their emotions, and/or who have experienced trauma. I will hold compassionate space for you to be heard and to move towards the change you wish to see.

At times, life can feel complex and challenging for all of us. However, finding a therapist who is a good fit for your individual needs can feel very reassuring. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is an important aspect in determining the efficacy of your therapeutic experience. I have a Masters in Social Work, and I am a Registered Social Worker with more than 15 years of psychotherapy and case management experience. Although I am primarily attachment-based in my approach, I integrate other treatment modalities to accommodate a client's individual needs for therapy.

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck - stuck in the way we think, the way we feel, what we do, what we don't do. It happens to all of us because we are human, and something is calling our attention to change or shift things. This can be overwhelming, saddening, frustrating, downright unpleasant. Therapy can provide the opportunity to reflect on what we're experiencing and create new ways of being - from a place of "stuckness" we can create movement.

Events happen in our lives at times and we seem not to be able to get around it or even understand it. Many times, we don’t even seem to know our ways through it. Outside we appear to have everything all together but deep within, we are hurting, frustrated, overwhelmed and even seen unsure about how to move forward. Deep within you know that these events have had negative impact on you and even the way you think. You are wondering where and how to get the needed help and tools to walk you through. You are at a point where you are feeling stuck and seems like there is no way out. I want to let you know that there is treasure in you
