"Tell me, what is it you plan to do / With your one wild and precious life?" -Mary Oliver, "The Summer Day" ----- There are so many things that I love about these lines by the poet Mary Oliver. She reminds us that we have choices about what we want to do with the unique and precious life that each of us has. That word 'wild' can encompass beauty and pain, joy and struggle. But even when life is at its most difficult, and even when we feel least in control, we can make meaningful change.

Accepting new clients! My psychoanalytical practice is grounded in the belief that long-standing, repetitive issues — those that seem to resist resolution despite your best efforts — are most effectively addressed by uncovering unconscious motivations that drive thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. I work with challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, loss, addictions, physical illness, and family-of-origin issues.

I focused my master’s research on the interceptions of non-nociceptive pain and resilience, so have an interest in working with chronic pain and chronic illness.
Relationship-building and a strong therapeutic alliance come at the core of the work that I do. To me, it is important to create a space that is welcoming, non-judgmental, and relaxed, so that clients can feel open to share. I am able to work with children 7 and above, adolescents, and adult clients. I have over a decade of experience, both in a counselling and teaching capacity, and in my years of schooling I also did a concentration in special education and worked in several positions as a respite worker. I still work a fair bit with intellectual and developmental disabilities in my practice and enjoy this work very much.

I work in person, with people in need of support and guidance from a neutral person outside of their life. This can be a life transition such as a separation, or death, to living with a chronic or terminal illness. As well as neurodiversity such as learning differences, ADD/ADHD/ASD with or without a formal diagnosis. Addictions and trauma make up a large part of my practice and I favor psychotherapy combined with a self help group approach. Through individual assessment, psychoeducation and psychotherapy, I support you to achieve your goals and measurably improving the quality of your life.

Are you struggling with the demands of everyday life? Many of us strive to keep up and stay on top of things, so much so that we often forget about ourselves in the process. I provide a safe, non-judgmental and empathic environment for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal conflict, chronic illness, workplace stress, caregiver stress, and issues with self-esteem. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find the most effective, long-term solutions to their challenges.

I have over ten years of experience supporting individuals and couples ( ages 16+) with areas including, anxiety, depression, relationships, stress / burnout, self-esteem, chronic pain, & trauma.
Life can be messy, and sometimes we need someone to help hold our stuff. My favourite part about this is assisting people to step into their power, give words to their feelings, and start creating a life they love. I firmly believe that human connection is the foundation of an abundant life. For this reason, I am passionate about working with people to improve their relationships with themselves and others. What this looks like is defined by my clients, but can include support with deepening understandings of themselves, overcoming people pleasing, increasing self-compassion, and getting out of their thoughts and into their life.

I have experience helping clients with anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment post-injury or illness, trauma, sleep, life transitions, self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties, and emotion regulation, as well as clients experiencing disability-related challenges.
Life is full of change- some changes lead to feelings of excitement or relief, others may leave us feeling frightened, sad, or overwhelmed. All change, whether viewed as positive or negative, can bring about stress and challenges. It is not always easy to cope with uncertainty and adjust to new circumstances. I am a Clinical, Rehabilitation, and Neuro-Psychologist registered to offer assessment and therapy services to adults and older adults in Ontario. I aim to offer a warm, collaborative, open space to support individuals as they navigate change, cope with stressors, and optimize mental health.
