Our work together will be based on you being heard. Your trust in me, your confidence in the process, and your insight into your life are the foundation of my practice. Regardless of my training and expertise, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. It will not be my role to put your experience into a box to be neatly categorized and labelled. You are a dynamic presence unlike anyone else and, just like everyone else, you deserve the respect and dignity of having your presence acknowledged.

How many of us focus solely on the problems we experience in our lives, while leaving out so much of our narrative, such as our hopes for ourselves, the ways that we survive life's challenges and our commitment to doing the work of healing even when it feels hard? Rather than focusing on “problems/behaviours”, I will explore with you the needs that your coping skills meet, and work on developing more adaptive ways of meeting those same needs. I will work collaboratively with you to explore stuck points, and look at the many different social factors that precipitate and maintain your sense of "stuckness"

I want to invite you into a therapeutic space where everything is speakable. Nothing is too shameful, too shocking, too terrible or too broken to be witnessed.

Something on your path has brought you right here to this moment. I want to invite you to consider that the reason you are here searching, goes beyond the pain, the struggles and the suffering. I want to invite you to consider that you are here because a part of you knows that you can move forward, knows your strength and your ability to heal. I believe that part of you can be your guide and your inner compass. I encourage you to listen and to trust that part of yourself. I am here to help you connect to your inner self, to heal from your past, and reimagine your future.

Depression, anxiety, postpartum struggles and ADHD can all impact our lives in various ways. You have taken the first step towards change and growth by being here today, the next step in creating positive and lasting transformations doesn't have to happen alone. I am passionate in my work with adults, adolescents, athletes and families struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, eating disorders, self-harm, suicide ideation, and postpartum challenges. As a retired varsity and competitive athlete I also hold space to explore how sport impacts our lives through injury, identity shifts, pressures, and eating disorders.

There is nothing as fulfilling and rewarding as being the best version of yourself. However, it’s a process. Along the journey of life, you may feel overwhelmed, frustrated or even stuck. Sometimes, in a bid to unstuck or fill the void, we latch on to something else that creates more problems. It could also be inability to let go of the past pain. At the Vine, we will be your ally on this journey by supporting, enriching and empowering you. We do this by unveiling different characters, situations and circumstances on your journey. We bring your awareness to your responses and encourage you to embrace seasons of life with compassion

I believe that my role as a therapist is to work myself out of a job. If you’re feeling tired of hitting your head on the same wall or feeling stuck in your situation, I’d love to work together so that we can find solutions to get you moving forward. I want to provide you with hands-on tools to begin to identify why you do what you do and how to make a permanent change for the better. If you’re ready to ask yourself the hard questions and you’re determined to put in the work to become a better version of yourself, let’s talk.

Welcome to this space! Whatever brought you here, I want you to know you are welcome and supported. I can understand it can be vulnerable to reach out for support and I want to honor your bravery in taking this first step. I view the therapeutic journey, as a client welcoming me to walk alongside them as they walk on the pathway of their life, and I don’t take this invitation lightly. I hold a strong belief in the expertise of clients when it comes to their own lives, and as a therapist, my role is to support and guide you in exploring, uncovering, and processing what's happening for you, in your internal world.

Often taking the first step is the hardest. I offer a private and safe space to explore your needs and struggles. Often we lose sight of our greatest strengths in everyday life. I offer acceptance base therapy and then I help you work towards change. Most of my experience has been in individual therapy. I truly enjoy starting an internal journey with you. Different parts of you come alive in the therapy room. When you know yourself and your different parts it is much easier to cope with life's difficulties.

At times life can take us far away from ourselves, and each day can feel challenging. While therapy cannot remove our challenges, or erase our past, it can allow us to manage more effectively, and discover we are more resilient than we ever imagined. I work with youths and adults on a broad range of topics such as emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, grief, postpartum depression, self-esteem/body image issues, and parenting or relationship challenges. If you are looking to change unhelpful patterns, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and want to build a more fulfilling life, take that first step and reach out.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of October 28th, 2024)! My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.
