****** Waitlist is currently 3-6 months ****** Walking beside people through their therapy journey is a great privilege and I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have been a therapist for over ten years and get told over and over again by my clients how easy it was for them to let their guard down, to build trust and comfort, and to begin to transform their hopes for therapy into meaningful growth and change. I exude warmth and genuineness and I know that great therapy cannot happen without a strong relationship between client and therapist.

WIth a Master's Degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Guelph, I specialize in strengthening the relationships of diverse couples, parents and their children/teens, and intimates. I work with individual clients from a relationship perspective in recognition of the significant impacts our relationships, past and present, have on our lives and wellbeing. I also take a systemic approach, viewing individual and relationship difficulties in historical context and consideration of the current conditions of people's lives. It is a respectful and comprehensive approach that is rooted in a strong therapeutic relationship.

Self-reflection is the gateway to inner peace. I believe everyone possesses the capacity to heal, grow, and achieve inner peace. Having the space to explore your experience with a skilled clinician will help you to develop the insight and skills you need to enhance your well-being. Feeling stuck can pave the way to making significant changes. I am passionate about using a mind-body approach to therapy and incorporate modalities including; Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I have an interest in empowering people with High Sensitivity (HSP).

MA, MSW, RSW with specialization in health and mental health from U of T. For over 28 years I have supported individuals, families in organizational settings and in private practice. I have helped individuals, couples, and families facing issues including situational stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational difficulties, grief, parenting, and marital conflict. My areas of expertise include Autism Spectrum Disorders and related learning differences. I treat individuals with or without a formal diagnosis who share features associated with ASD and struggle with isolation, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety and depressed mood and employment challenges. Services are tailored to address individuals' specific needs.

Accepting new clients: Over 20 years of experience guides my work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. I work to be easy to talk to and non-judgmental. Each person is different and together we'll find what works for you.

Certified in EFT! We want intimacy and emotional connection but feel helpless to attain it. We want to be able to talk about our feelings and needs without getting caught up in the same frustrating arguments that go nowhere. We want so much more than feeling empty inside like roommates, just parents, or good friends who pay the bills together. We desire safety, security, and love. But we have so many doubts and questions: Am I too dependent? Too independent? Codependent? Am I too much or not enough? How can I build more balance within myself and in my relationship? How can I feel seen, heard, and fulfilled without creating conflict?

It can be difficult to reach out for support when we find ourselves adrift in the ocean of our lives. Perhaps you've momentarily let go of your anchor and don't know how to find your way back or maybe you've been floating on your own for as long as you remember. Your circumstances and experiences are unique, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. I strive to use my professional training and unique insight from my lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can be free to explore your identity, experiences and internal processes.

Life can present many struggles that lead us to feel overwhelmed. A warm and supportive safe space provides the foundation for self-exploration and building new skill sets that help us through these moments. Whether your concerns are related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and/or grief, I aim to provide compassionate care that validates your experience and supports your goals. - - - Now offering private team-based Adult ADHD Assessments with a Registered Psychologist in Newfoundland and Labrador. - - -

I am here to help you better understand your relationship and improve your communication with one another.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Many people initiate therapy when something big is going on in their life – mental health symptoms, a big life change, or a sudden loss. But you don’t have to wait until life feels overwhelming to seek support. I welcome it all into my practice - no concern is too big or too small to bring to therapy. I specialize in supporting adults (18+) in healing from trauma, depression and anxiety, and supporting those navigating the perinatal period (including perinatal mental health issues), perfectionism/people pleasing, and those that identify as empaths and highly sensitive people (HSP).

Are you someone who identifies as highly sensitive, struggles with people pleasing, or has difficulty setting boundaries and often feels burnt out as a result? I am here to support individuals and families facing anxiety, emotional challenges, trauma, and relationship concerns. My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, transform old narratives that no longer serve them, and discover more balanced ways to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating these often complicated challenges, fostering a more curious and compassionate sense of self.

I provide psychotherapy for anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, ASD, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, life transitions, family conflicts, relationship issues, break-ups, self-criticism, PMDD, complex PTSD, chronic illnesses, fibromyalgia, binge eating, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and childhood emotional neglect. Each of these carries its weight and I commend you for choosing to work through it.
