Feeling anxious, depressed, stressed-out, or just plain stuck? It is difficult to imagine any person at any age or stage of life who has not felt the impact of Covid. It has affected us not just as individuals, but also our family relationships, work lives, school lives, social lives and our ability to participate in the community. Social isolation and stress are major factors in depression and anxiety, and the rates of these have skyrocketed since the onset of Covid. Chronic stress, anxiety and trauma can lead to negative ways of coping, hurting ourselves and our relationships. Time to reinvent ourselves, create positive changes?

Perhaps you are wondering if you have the strength, resources, or ability to navigate your challenging situation or relationship. Perhaps you feel stuck in negative patterns of thinking or acting. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or emotional distress. Perhaps you have experienced trauma, either recently or in your past, and you notice the impact it still has on you today. It is helpful to be aware of how our past experiences and relationships help to create patterns, some positive and some that indicate areas where we need to grow. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I applaud you for taking this step.

I offer in-person, online, or hybrid appointments. My main areas of practice are trauma, and women’s reproductive health. This includes fertility, prenatal, postpartum, and parenthood.

If you’re a parent looking for the right service for your child/youth, then look no further! My compassionate, playful nature works well with children as I integrate evidenced based therapies through their language of play and curiosity. These skills also translate in my work with adults through a trauma and attachment treatment lens. Between my experience working with children, teens, and adults, my skill set is diverse and can be best used to support you or your loved one in the therapeutic journey. My skills range from trauma processing and identity work to cognitive and behavioural interventions (i.e. CBT, DBT, ACT).

Have you been feeling stuck lately? Like you're not quite yourself anymore and have been going through a tough time?

Trying to make changes before putting your past to rest will leave you exhausted and running in circles. Through a process that is designed to be fun, light-hearted, and efficient, I leverage neuroplasticity and memory reconsolidation to make therapy painless, easy, and permanently effective.

My space is a small cabin located within 5 acres of outdoor space. This allows for a very naturalized counselling experience. Walk and talk along the trails, Adirondack chairs deep within the wooded area or the shelter of the small cabin are your choices, for each appointment. The space allows for relaxation and grounding to be experienced very naturally.

Ideally the work I do is to resolve core issues. Whether it's dating, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, or you hoping to simply optimize your life and making it more satisfying, that's what I support people in finding. Be ready to challenge yourself compassionately, and do a deep dive on the pieces behind behaviours, thoughts, and feelings.

Many of us experience things in our lives that can have a great impact on how we live day to day. Sometimes these experiences can affect our mental and emotional health. When we struggle to cope with the impacts of trauma or invalidation, we might turn to alcohol, drugs or other means to forget or shut down how we are feeling.

My counseling style takes a client-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative approach. I use various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Gottman Couples Therapy, Mindfulness, and many more! I have helped clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, women’s health, perinatal/postpartum, burnout, relationships, everyday stress, sports performance, etc.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I have a master's degree in counselling psychology, and over sixteen years of experience working in mental health.
