Do you feel trapped by fear, unable to go where you want or do what you need to do? Maybe you avoid leaving the house because you're afraid of what might happen, or the thought of driving or flying makes your heart race and your hands sweat. You might be constantly walking on eggshells, feeling like your emotions are out of control, and you don't know how to make the rollercoaster stop. Relationships might feel like a battleground, where you're always worried about being abandoned or misunderstood. You might feel stuck, like you're missing out on life ... let's change that.

I have a unique background of over 30 years experience working with young children, adolescents and their families. I offer a variety of client centred psychotherapeutic services specializing in individual and family therapy. My relaxed play-based approach helps children explore difficult emotions and situations. I use a strength-based approach helping adolescents building their self confidence, self esteem and coping strategies. When parents feel capable and they are better able to understand their child's individuality the potential risks for mental health concerns decrease for every family member.

I really enjoy working with youth and adults with a variety of presenting concerns.

Much of my work is geared towards working with each client to align best with individual needs. I like to be lighthearted and use humor in my practice. I also call myself a Gen Z therapist. My educational background of an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies has profoundly shaped my perspective and provided me with an intersectional feminist lens to work with a diverse group of people.

Sometimes life can have us feeling bogged down in the same negative patterns, feeling blocked or disconnected from our own sense of contentment, strength and joy. Often we walk the path of life, thinking we are making progress, only to find we have circled back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves in this place it can be wise to reach out for help. I see therapy as a place to uncover the roots of what is feeding our present concerns and to heal these roots in order to make positive lasting changes.

Some of the concerns I often help clients with include: depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma (of many kinds), self-endangerment, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, LGBTQ2S+, sexuality and gender identity, and more. Wherever you might be in the process of working through those issues (or others) is where we will pick up. I am passionate about providing hope and helping clients to reexamine limiting beliefs in a way that helps them achieve their goals. I work with an admin team through Spacious Mind Counselling.com to ensure a quick reply to your emails if you would like to reach out.

We will always follow your lead and provide insight and knowledge when you need it during sessions.

Have you ever felt unseen, unsafe, or unwelcome in therapy? Like you don't belong there, or your therapist just doesn't get you? Your therapist should be one person with whom you don’t have to mask or hide parts of yourself. I welcome the weirdos, the outsiders, the black sheep. Those who are tired of having to over-explain or justify their existence, identities, or the way their brain works. You are welcome to just be yourself with me. Even if you don’t know who that is yet! What a treat to get to explore that together! See who you are beyond the weight of self-criticism and other's expectations. Become who you really want to be.
