I am a therapist and counselor with training in Neurofeedback, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, and the Expressive Arts. My approach is client-centered and I work with empathy and compassion to help my clients find new strategies when old patterns aren't working anymore. I have 20 years experience providing therapy and deep understanding to people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges and other life issues. In addition to my clinical skills, I have years of meditation practice and experience teaching the mindfulness skills that can reduce stress and generate a new perspective on life.

As a counselor specializing in children, youth, and families, I am dedicated to promoting positive change and emotional well-being. With extensive training in child and adolescent development, I offer tailored, evidence-based strategies to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and family dynamics. I believe in the power of early intervention and empowering young individuals to develop healthy emotional regulation skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

I help teenagers and adults who are looking for somewhere safe to sort through difficult emotions, life transitions, stress or are feeling overwhelmed. I can be with you and support you in coming into yourself, understanding how you got where you are and finding your way forward. I offer supportive individual and couples counselling that is confidential and client-centered. Together we can examine patterns in your life and identify ways to expand your capacity to cope with emotional or relational challenges that you are facing.

Fighting over the same thing, feeling distant and disconnected, or like you don't know each other at all? Are you wondering where the love has gone and don't know what to do? You're probably fighting over the mess around the house, parenting, and everything in between while living with deep stress, sadness, and anxiety. Or - not fighting at all. My individual clients struggle with big life questions like should I stay or should I go? Why is dating not working for me? How can I actually do work that I enjoy? The greatest source of health and happiness in your life is relationships - we can find that together.

Feeling overwhelmed? Looking for support with conflict? Many individuals struggle to manage ongoing stress in their lives, no matter what age. Challenges can exist with current circumstances, or they could be due to unresolved issues from the past. Ever considered EMDR treatment? I work with children, adults, exhausted parents, and first responders to improve feelings of overall well-being. If you could benefit from support with anxiety, anger, grief, or trauma, we might be a good fit. Identifying triggers and effective coping strategies is crucial for life-long success; it can even improve relationships at work and at home.

Parenting is hard. With the ever-changing challenges of today’s world, and the unrealistic expectations of “perfect parenting”, it seems harder now than ever before. The world of parenting is full of competing opinions, voices, and perspectives. In reality, there is no “right” way to parent. You are the only expert when it comes to your child.

Hey there - As a therapy survivor myself, I know that it is often hard to reach out. I want to encourage you that I can relate, and also know that the first step to change comes with taking a courageous leap to work on your own goals! I am incredibly passionate about my role as a Registered Psychotherapist (with the CRPO). Life has had its share of ups and downs for me, which I believe have helped me understand my clients in a deeper level.
