I want to welcome new clients. Many of us live from the neck up and are lost in thought. Our bodies carry all our mental energy and pain, and by accessing this we can see which thoughts are helping and which are hurting. There is so much wisdom in all of us that we have not been taught to access. It's time to pay attention. Heal depression, anxiety, trauma, and other debilitating emotions. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology from McMaster University. I am a certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Facilitator. I specialize in using mindfulness and meditation to heal with Buddhist wisdom.

It can be so hard to manage your day-to-day when anxiety, trauma, and a general sense of unease fill your mind (and body) with negative thoughts and sensations. You might be feeling stuck, but you're also searching for the right support because you have hope that you can heal. I recognize the value of truly knowing that you’ve not only been heard, but also understood. Sometimes this seemingly simple act can spark the beginning of a healing journey. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process, and whenever possible, one that seeks to focus on strengths rather than to pathologize weakness.

I am queer-identified, ENM/poly, sex positive and strive to offer an open-minded, comfortable, safe(r) space to process trauma and provide psychoeducation. I offer online Trauma Therapy for folks who have experienced sexual, religious, physical and emotional abuse and/or neglect. Trauma can make us feel powerless. By gaining an understanding of how trauma works, we can take our power back and begin to heal. I believe that healing from trauma means that the intensity and frequency of the trauma symptoms decrease and have less of an impact on our quality of life. You can learn to walk alongside your trauma, instead of against it.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling, and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or other losses, coping with a past that includes traumatic events or childhood experiences, and want to find ways to build your own mental and emotional resiliency, then it can be helpful to work with someone to find ways to heal, feel supported and heard. You may also be worried or anxious about the way things are in world related to post-pandemic life, climate change, conflict and economic uncertainty. Or, you may struggle to feel understood as someone who is gifted and/or highly sensitive, or may be experiencing challenges in your close relationships or with your partner.

I believe that life’s challenges can be an opportunity to discover our inherent strengths and achieve personal growth. Having said that, facing obstacles alone can be overwhelming and reaching out for help takes courage. I consistently strive to provide a therapeutic space where individuals feel safe and accepted while pursuing goals that matter to them.

The resources for coping with past, present and future challenges include: inner strength, connection to others, and the ability to manage change. As a caring professional, I help people facing difficult circumstances to move beyond their limitations. Life can be overwhelming. Relationships, mental, emotional, or physical health struggles, tragedy, trauma can be difficult. For over 30 years, I have been helping people face these issues through my work in social services, child protection, community work and as a Clinical Counsellor. I believe that anyone who wants to face life’s challenges well can benefit from counselling.
