It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

As a Registered Social Worker and a passionate Indigenous Woman, I provide a non-judgemental space in which you can feel free to be your authentic self to explore difficult thoughts and emotions. As unique as every person is, so are the struggles we face. How we process and navigate these experiences is just as unique. Through an integrative trauma-informed approach to therapy, I will assist you in identifying your strengths, overcoming challenges, learning effective coping mechanisms, and working together collectively to bring about positive changes that, in turn, can help to bring you inner peace.

Do you have thoughts like ‘My child’s behavior is out of control!’, ‘I love them so much, but I feel like I’m at the end of my rope’, or ‘Why won’t my child just listen, they’re embarrassing me!’. Maybe you find yourself losing your temper and getting angry at your child more often. This might make you feel ashamed, and you may begin blaming yourself and feeling judged by teachers, family members, other parents, your partner(s). You feel confused and like you have tried everything from books to webinars, to doctors and other types of therapy but nothing seems to have helped.

We all come from different walks of life, each of us carrying a unique story. Being unique means that we also bring different outlooks on the world, which deserve to be appreciated in their own light. As a therapist, I see my role as someone who walks alongside you, never telling you how to feel, but helping you explore how life experiences shape our feelings and worldview. Through this, I aim to support you to navigate the world with greater confidence and insight into yourself.
