I aim to work with you collaboratively to enable individuals to solve their social/emotional concerns. Over the years I’ve supported individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress management, coping skills, self harming behaviours, relationship issues and parent teen conflict. I understand stressors of life and how they may have an impact on individuals. Thus I seek to help individuals locate themselves in their daily situations, reflect and influence positive change.

I recognize that in life we are sometimes faced with challenges that leave us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, confused, or even hopeless. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, or relationships, you don't have to go through it alone. Similarly, transition periods are often very difficult and we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. Reaching out for help is a great way to explore coping options. Licensed professionals are highly trained and extremely passionate about the art of helping.

You’re feeling anxious, unhappy and stuck, but unsure what to do. Everyone thinks you have it all, but underneath the facade you know that something is not right. You see others who seem to be coping well during this time, but you don’t think this is possible for you. You want to stop the negative self defeating thoughts that keep you so anxious but can’t. Deep down you know you could have greater satisfaction in your relationships, be healthier and enjoy your job, but you don’t have the tools required to make lasting change. You long to be a better parent to your children but can’t seem to communicate effectively with them.

With this, I strive to build authentic and approachable connections with those I have the privilege to meet in the therapy room. It is a core value of mine to build a trusting, non-judgmental and courageous space to dig deeper into the origins of some of your current struggles. Through a trauma-informed and cultural-humility perspective, I acknowledge that our diverse identities shape many of our experiences. I utilize this in my practice to ensure that all parts of our identities are seen, honoured and embraced.
