You may have those moments - times when you're sad or frustrated, or struggling with the ups and downs of life. These moments can sometimes pass fairly quickly. And other times, they may not. I am deeply respectful of this journey you're on - where you've come from, what you've been through, and where you'd like to be. In a space of safety and honesty, it is my hope that together we can explore those tough moments and gain a better understanding of the blocks to achieving your therapy goals.

Do you ever have the thought, ‘how did I get here?’? From navigating your relationships to your career to your sense of self, you might feel disconnected from the life you once dreamed of —like you’ve lost that spark of joy. Therapy offers an opportunity to see your life from a different perspective and to open up new paths forward. I bring my own lived experience and mental health journey to my practice. I know the challenges and insights that come with seeking help and I understand how scary it can feel to be unsure of your next step. Together we can find a direction forward that feels authentic and fulfilling to you.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Do you sometimes think to yourself "my child's behaviour is out of control!". Do you think "I want to help my child so desperately but somehow it feels like I end up making things worse" ? Maybe you blame yourself and wonder "where did I go wrong?". Maybe other people in your child's life blame you. You know something needs to change but don't know where else to look. You've exhausted all the options you know of- you've spoken to other moms, teachers, maybe other therapists. You worry about your child's happiness and stability if something doesn't change. This is hard stuff! I want you to know, you're in the right place!

Do you struggle to feel connected to your authentic self or make sense of who you are in the world? I have been there, too. Through my own life experiences, and from the work I've done with my courageous clients, I have an understanding of how psychological pain and distress impact every aspect of our daily lives, relationships and self-concept. While the effects of this distress often hold us back in our lives, it can also push us to get the help we need to better understand ourselves. If you are here, looking for those answers, you have already taken the hardest step.
