If you are are going through a tough time or difficult life circumstance and can’t find the right person to talk to - someone with “Lived Experience” in mental health, addiction and trauma could make a world of difference. I discovered the power of Peer Support having lived through some of those not-so-nice experiences myself. It was a healing like no other: It saved my life and put me on a path towards growth & self-discovery. I spent 10+ years participating in peer groups, various therapy modalities, and pursued ongoing education in the field. I combine these experiences to deliver a unique type of therapy and valuable resources.

Our work together will help you gain clarity, confidence and motivation in life.
Do you find yourself feeling like your whole world has turned upside down after a breakup, no matter what you do? You’re someone who values connection and intimacy, but still find yourself overwhelmed by unbearable pain, feeling lost, and questioning your worth. It's natural to grieve the future you envisioned for yourself and your partner. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to find closure and acceptance. You’re ready to learn ways to move on so you can feel more at peace. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and rebuild your self-esteem. I want to help you get there.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

I can provide a treatment plan that involves either psychotherapy or health coaching.
Considering that the human experience is ever-changing and at times difficult to maintain a wholistic balance, it is crucial for accessibility to health education and wellness services to be readily available. I help Individuals through major life transitions, coping with conditions, perinatal care, and life after abuse. I bring a unique blend of compassion, clinical expertise, and therapeutic insight to every individual I work with.

Through exploring them, your past, and values, we'll deepen your understanding of your Self and ability to lead a meaningful life.
Do you feel that your emotions, anger, depression, anxiety, are controlling your life? Do you feel lost in life, that life has no meaning, or that life could be better? Are you unsure of your place in this world or who you really are? Do you think learning new skills could help you manage your feelings and relationships? Such thoughts and feelings are common.

Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

I believe that each person has strength and resilience within them. Sometimes we only need a helping hand to get there. I have helped many individuals discover this strength, find healing, and move towards the life they want to live. As a person-centred therapist, I believe in empowering individuals to discover more about who they are in a collaborative approach to therapy. I work hard to build trust and create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to come as they are, and together, take steps towards health and recovery.

What I have learned from experience is not to shy away from the realities of life and overcome the challenges through seeking the right support.
Life at times can be overwhelming. The challenges of our lived experiences, childhood trauma, financial constraints and relationships can get the better of us. For those struggling, it is not always easy to seek help. Healing can begin when you acknowledge the hurt and allow yourself to create space for it, understand it and to heal through it. I am here to offer my support by taking on a trauma focused approach where counselling sessions will help you navigate the challenges and opportunities that life send your way. We can discuss ways in which to cope while also identifying your strengths and values.

My approach is feeling/insight oriented addressing current issues and, when appropriate, helping you work through unresolved problems from your past that may be having a negative impact on your present-day life.
We all have seemingly insurmountable personal struggles at times. If you are troubled and not coping well on your own, you may benefit from consulting with a registered psychologist. Problems such as depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, past traumatic events, the death of a loved one, workplace stress and relationship difficulties can all be helped through pyschotherapy. Having an experienced pyschologist with whom to consult breaks the isolation you may be currently feeling and can provide you with the perspective and tools to help you move your life forward in a direction and that feels right to you.
