We offer online and in person sessions with some after hours options.
I believe that all of us have an innate desire to move toward a healthier, happier way of being. Even seemingly unhealthy beliefs, feelings, and behaviours start to make sense and can change when explored with the help of a compassionate well trained professional. Over the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of assisting many adults, couples, youth, children, and families to find effective approaches and solutions to the challenges facing them. My passion is helping individuals, couples and families find healthy ways to cope with and grow from the challenges and adversities that life sometimes brings.

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges? Do you feel emotional dysregulation, irregular feelings towards important persons in your life, feelings of insignificance in people’s lives, sadness, impulse control. I understand this isolation of feeling dysregulated and trapped without the ability to express intense thoughts and feelings.

Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.

Trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles are all too familiar for countless people in Canada. These challenges often feel like overwhelming mountains, blocking the light and making it hard to see the path ahead. Yet, there is no reason for anyone to walk this path alone. My approach to holistic care is neither formulaic nor prescriptive. Rather, it is compassionate and patient. I blend evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT, DBT with somatic techniques and energy medicine to nurture and support one meaningful step at a time.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, client centered therapeutic space for individuals and couples. I believe that a journey towards healing requires empathy, encouragement and supportive facilitation as we often haven't had the opportunity to learn ways to cope with traumatic experiences and life related stressors. This can result in dysregulation and feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelm in our day to day lives and relationships. Let's work together to explore and address your concerns in an open minded, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex/body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive space.

Stuck, riding the struggle bus, and going through the motions sounds about right. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and you’ve talked to your best friend Joe. And it still isn’t cutting it. The healing you need is deep and you’re not sure how to get there. That’s fair. And that’s where therapy and counselling come into the mix. You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own, scrolling social media, or with meditations and deep breathing (even though, those are great too). You deserve some serious relief and I can help you get there.

I have dedicated my career to working with first responders. I have worked with many individuals who are wrestling with the question "Do I have a workplace injury?" This question is complex and not straightforward. I have a wealth of knowledge supporting first responder's with this dilemma and many other issues such as just feeling off, anger/irritability, lack of sleep, trust, working in a negative workplace culture, moral injury/sanctuary trauma. I also have an extensive working knowledge of WSIB (deciding when and how to make a claim), long term disability, retirement/pension and career planning.

It's time to feel and see how powerful you are. I help women overcome self-defeating and worrisome thoughts and live a calm and fulfilling life. Stress and trauma affects how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and/or addiction. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing various modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life.
