I have both an M.Ed. in Counselling as well as a Master of Social Work, and have been working with children and families for years. Although I occasionally take on adults who are looking for a dynamic, supportive and humour-filled therapy experience, I now work mostly with children. While part of my caseload is always reserved for kids/adults dealing with trauma or complicated grief, my current passion is working with children with social, emotional and behavioural challenges. I also do a great deal of work with kids who are struggling to cope with a parent's/sibling's disability or illness - anything from cancer to PTSD.

Do you struggle with anxiety or trauma that affects your day-to-day life? Do you often feel overwhelmed just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life should feel less exhausting? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to navigate life stressors and overcome traumatic incidents. Not addressing these challenges and just pushing through them can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and a less fulfilling life. I believe that life shouldn’t be so hard and that there is hope for a happier future. I work with you to create a treatment plans to help you achieve you personal goals.

I work with individual adults who are facing a variety of life challenges.I believe that hidden in our problems lie the seeds of a solution as well as some bit of undeveloped personality with potential for personal transformation. Knowing that in times of distress it's good to talk things over with someone, I listen carefully and work collaboratively with my clients. Images from the unconscious, as seen in dreams and drawings, can help us uncover a problem and develop a solution. Dreams are material from the unconscious and bring us into contact with a deeper part of ourselves.

“Some people see scars, and it is wounding they remember. To me, they are proof of the fact that there is healing.” Linda Hogan. I think of this quote often, as it aligns with my nature and also how I view my clients. It aptly describes the tension of recognizing a person’s inner strength, that harm outside of their control has been done to them, and that there is something beyond being in a survival state. I have worked as a counsellor and in Mental Health for over 12 years and approach my practice with compassion, an open-mind and empathy.

Accepting new clients! I believe in an integrative approach to therapy while focusing mainly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I work with compassion and empathy in a way that empowers my clients and encourages them to take steps towards meaningful change.

I believe in the inner strength of every human being to become the main actor of his improvement and healing.
