Life has a way of presenting challenges and difficulties that can stop even the strongest in their paths. Increased stress, sudden changes, anxiety, unresolved trauma...each can trigger unpleasant and negative emotions that hold us back at the least and damage our health and relationships at their worst. If your emotional or mental well-being, your relationships with others or with yourself, or your ability to problem solve is out of balance – whatever the issue or stumbling block, a safe therapeutic relationship can help you return to, or develop a greater sense of ease and well-being.

Everybody experiences life differently; and as an advocate for mental health awareness and wellness, I assist clients with mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum) mental health challenges, trauma, self-esteem issues, and life transitions by drawing from a variety of evidence-based techniques and mindfulness-based interventions to help navigate your unique story.

These are strange times in which we have found ourselves. Trying to reconnect and re-engage in our "new" world can be overwhelming and exhausting. What were once little worries are now becoming cycling thoughts with no end. We tell ourselves that it's easier to stay on the couch than it is to venture out, call a friend, start that project, or discover a new interest. Perhaps you feel torn? Part of you knows what it wants to see happen in your life and knows what to do to get you there, but another part seems so intent on convincing you that you don't have the motivation or strength to change; you feel so stuck. I know ways to help.

If you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or relationship issues, I offer a caring, compassionate, and inquiring atmosphere to foster an emotionally safe space for inner exploration of difficult feelings, experiences and memories. I help clients examine their distress by bringing up and working through their experiences, issues, or concerns in an effort to understand and clarify their current beliefs, emotions, and behaviors as they relate to personal decisions and intimate relationships. I combine the use of talk therapy with practical tools to navigate nervous system support.

Maybe you would like to work with your trauma with more healing, or work with your feelings with more depth, rather than simply scratching the surface? Maybe you are getting tired of talk therapy and would like to try something different? Maybe you have learned a lot about mindfulness but have never experienced the power of mindfulness? The notion that our body is key to our healing is deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, has been rediscovered and reiterated by Western psychologists. Drawing from these, my work with you will probably feature body-centered, mindfulness-based, experiential, somatic and spiritually informed.

Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. Reaching out to a therapist for support gives you the opportunity to explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life. People have the capacity to make positive changes in their lives with the right support and guidance. With support, you will tap into your strengths, find hope, and heal emotional wounds. I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues (anxiety, depression, etc), trauma, phobias, negative self-esteem, family of origin issues, work issues, and relationship issues.

My aim is to help move clients from a place of stress, hurt, and suffering to a place of increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and strength. I strongly believe that each client has the answers for a healthier, happier, and meaningful life within themselves. My role as a therapist is to help you discover these "answers" and help you put them into place. I tend to support youth and adults who are experiencing various life stressors; persons with symptoms of anxiety or low mood and self-esteem; persons struggling with emotional regulation; and persons who wish to move from floundering in their lives to flourishing.

I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.
