I specialize in helping young adults with CPTSD symptoms like low self-worth, self-doubt, substance misuse, and emotional neglect.
Are you a 25-35 year old woman in Ontario who grapples with the past, was raised by emotionally immature (or narcissistic) parents, struggles with setting boundaries, finds herself in painful codependent relationships, and feels responsible for the emotions of others while neglecting her own? Your body is always in fight or flight mode, and you can't seem to break the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (or stick to it). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that works.

I offer evidence-based therapy that has brought on desired change into the lives of many adults who have committed to engaging in therapy.

They might have low self-esteem, difficulty with social skills, or face major life transitions, such as moving or adjusting to a new family dynamic. They might be looking for a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their feelings without judgment, build resilience, and work towards personal growth, healing, and a sense of security.

I work with individual adults and couples from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, gender, and sexual orientation.
It takes courage to navigate daily life, with pressures coming from all directions. It takes even greater courage to seek out help, to step back, and look at ourselves to deal with distressing thoughts, emotions, or behaviours, or to deal with the past and its impact on present life. I support adult clients to understand their functioning and view of themselves, others and the world around them so emotion regulation and making meaning of life experiences gets easier. With couples, I work on attachment ruptures & repairs, or issues affecting a sense of connection, differentiation, intimacy and sexuality as well as communication.

I typically work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship problems. I often hear from clients that they need time and space to freely express and explore their thoughts and feelings with someone who holds an outsider's perspective and is also understanding, nonjudgmental, authentic, and offers expertise in the issues the client is bringing to the table. I can provide this space to help sort out your thoughts in order to find the empowerment and insight within.

To be a human means that we live through a variety of unique and shared experiences: joy, love, hope - loss, fear, disconnection, just to name a few. These are often experiences we live through alone, whether we push them away, hide them from others, or just don't have the bandwidth to pay attention. Yet you might be craving something more for yourself... Connection in your life, in your work, hobbies and with loved ones. To discover who you are, what you want from your life, and feel good about showing up as you. Maybe you're burnt out, afraid of your overwhelming emotions, and searching for relief.
