Do you long for friendship and belonging, but fear closeness? Do you get attached quickly but things don’t turn out the way you had hoped? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that you want to change, but are unsure of how, or where, to begin? You describe yourself as a giver but feel upset and disappointed when others don’t give back. You try to be the best version of yourself, but you’re exhausted. Experiences like these can leave us feeling unsafe. We feel lost and alone, desperately wanting change but not sure what steps to take.

Are you feeling stuck in an older version of yourself that you know is ready to change? Do you live with the feeling that there's a truer version of "you" that's dying to come out? Are you held back by complicated relationships from your past, that seem to keep you in a holding pattern? Are you a couple stuck in a pattern that keeps you apart? Often we hit a place where we know we are ready for a transition, but we're just not sure what to do next. That's when therapy can be the most powerful. It's my greatest privilege to experience real connection with folks who are journeying towards a more meaningful, fulfilled, authentic life.

I help anxious, perfectionistic, and highly sensitive people transform their relationship with their body to feel calm and confident as they navigate their life forward. You feel exhausted as your mind and body remind you each moment of every day of being consumed with anxiety. Not being understood by those closest to you, has you feeling alone. You may have ideas about what led to this, or maybe it came suddenly and you want to understand why. It’s here and feels fierce as it feels all consuming. You are trapped in your mind, ruminating about what has happened, while you wish it was different. You feel "stuck,” and want a change.

I am a mental health professional with several years of experience providing psychotherapy in both private and public clinical settings. I strongly believe in how important it is to adapt specific approaches to the needs of clients, and understand that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for guiding you towards your healing. That being said, I practice using an eclectic approach, drawing on the philosophies and techniques of various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I am so happy that you are here. Starting your healing journey toward who you want to be can be incredibly overwhelming, intimidating, and scary. You don't need to be in a place where you are unhappy and struggling. Maybe you're experiencing a major life transition as a young-adult in post-secondary, navigating anxiety, relationship issues, or struggling in your career. In therapy, as is true in most circumstances, one size does not fit all. You’ll find me using a creative eclectic approach that tailors to your unique strengths and needs. I believe you have the inherent ability to be well and thrive well with the right support.

Do you ever struggle with feeling disconnected from others? Do you ever feel loneliness or discontent? Do you ever think that life should be easier? Do you ever feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost due to the pressure to live up to standards, or to just get through the day? Do you ever question, wonder, or hope that things could be better? Have you ever had something too terrible to talk about with others that you still feel the need to share? Neglecting your own needs and not taking time for yourself often leads to difficulties for both your mind and body. I believe that it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

I work with individuals and couples, providing a supportive space for both personal growth and relational healing. Together, we will delve into your attachment patterns and examine the different aspects of yourself that might be contributing to your worries, anxiety, mood, or communication roadblocks. Often, the major challenges in life or the emotional roller coasters we experience, stem from our daily thoughts and behaviors that we aren’t effectively managing. By untangling the roots of your thought patterns, I will help you plant cognitive seeds that are more self-empowering.

At some point, we all find ourselves stuck amidst life's challenges. I've been there.

I provide men and women of all ages the safe, respectful space to work through whatever it is you can't seem to navigate on your own. In a relaxed setting, we'll tackle the serious work of therapy together, anticipating breakthroughs that heal and insights that strengthen. Your well-being and your return to emotional strength are my sole focus.
