Do you struggle with anxiety and self-worth that affects your life, relationships, and your work? Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated by your own self-talk, emotions and expectations? Do you wonder if your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you could be better? Now more than ever, individuals are feeling exhausted, battling with the requirements of life as their anxiety, past, and self-worth are interfering with their ability to live life to the fullest, impacting their relationships with themselves and others. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live the life you want.

Taking the step to explore your life and feelings in counselling takes boldness and bravery. Congratulations for taking that first step. Relationships are often central in our lives. The first significant relationship is the one you have with yourself, then with your significant others, and the community. It is through our everyday relationships we can begin to understand others, our communities and ourselves. I work with individuals and offer group programs. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages in my practice both in person, online and/or on the phone.

I offer a variety of client centred psychotherapeutic services specializing in individual and family therapy. My relaxed play-based approach helps children explore difficult emotions and situations. I use a strength-based approach helping adolescents building their self confidence, self esteem and coping strategies. When parents feel capable and they are better able to understand their child's individuality the potential risks for mental health concerns decrease for every family member.

I work with youth and adults who are struggling with cumulative stress, anxiety, or trauma and want to develop a sense of emotional stability and well-being; they're looking for a therapist who can be authentic. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations to allow the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.
