It can be difficult to live in the world with a sense of peace in yourself. Many have suffered adverse life experiences that get in the way of connecting to the world and the full life we are seeking. We all feel stuck sometimes, doubt ourselves, and worry things will never get better. I have 18 years experience working with clients struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, childhood neglect and abandonment, addictions, ADHD and people in recovery from psychosis. I also have experience working with the Indigenous population, youth and seniors. I offer a strength and evidence-based approach.

I have extensive experience working with teens, adults and seniors living with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, as well as those living with Alzheimer's disease and forms of dementia.
Are you struggling with grief and loss, sadness and depression, anxiety and frustration, or just the stress of everyday life? Loss is more than just losing a loved one. We have lost so much of what we knew as “normal” in recent years. Grief and loss are expected realities of life but you do not need to go through it alone. Connecting with the right therapist can be the first step in addressing your concerns and making a change. My intention is to just be human with you as we work together. I would be honoured to hear your story and support you in creating the rich and meaningful life that you deserve.

My work as a full-time Hospital Social Worker has given me hands-on experience, particularly in mental health care across different settings like geriatric rehabilitation, emergency medicine, and psychiatric care. My background in psychotherapy has sharpened my skills in both group and individual therapy, especially when it comes to helping kids and teens.

You are looking at this profile and that means you have taken the first step. You want help. The next step is to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Let me tell you a little bit about myself so you can decide if I would be a good fit. I have been a social worker for 23 years. I have worked in hospitals, private practice, long-term care homes, and rehab facilities across Ontario. I work from a place of non-judgement. I like to say if they had a meeting for functional families, no one would be there including me. Anxiety, depression, couples counselling, and work place stress are my specialties.

I firmly believe that every individual deserves to lead a life filled with fulfillment. I champion the idea that true happiness is not an elusive goal but an inherent aspect of your being waiting to be unlocked. I believe that the purpose of life is not just existing but living it mindfully, cherishing each moment with gratitude and awareness.

Something is wrong, but we can't quite grasp what. We search for a better understanding of ourselves in order to solve our emotional and psychological discontent. We think about the events of the day, relationships, childhood and the past. Still, something doesn't seem right. We act and feel in ways that create discord. I provide psychotherapy for people who are interested in looking for the deeper meaning behind the discomfort in their lives. The goal is to be able to have more meaningful relationships, fulfilling work and societal contributions, as well as the capacity to bear the difficulties that are part of living fully.

Dr. Seth Gilligan said, “stress is inevitable but overwhelm is optional.” While life can be challenging and the future uncertain, it's often the stories we tell ourselves that lie at the root of our suffering. Do you struggle with feelings of low self-worth and inadequacy? Do you find yourself ruminating about the past or lacking the motivation to move forward? Is fear of uncertainty holding you back from the life you’d like to live? Are you stuck in a cycle of self-defeating behaviors that you'd like to change? The good news is we have more influence over our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors than we give ourselves credit for.
