Let's face it, life can be hard sometimes. And during those difficult seasons, it's just easier when someone is on the journey with us. Are you struggling with making a big decision? Are you dealing with unhealthy relationships or family dynamics? Are you experiencing feelings of grief, loss, hopelessness, and overwhelm? Maybe you're feeling like you're "not enough" or just "way too much?" You, my friend, are not alone. My approach is relational and is determined by the unique needs of each one of my clients. I would love to hear your story and begin this journey with you.

You might not believe me right now, but it will get better. Whether you're grappling with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, the persistent fog of depression, or the unique complexities of neurodivergence, each day can feel like a tumbling, uphill battle. You feel constantly on edge even when you know there’s nothing wrong. The world feels gray and robbed of its colour. And you’re exhausted from trying to fit into a world that wasn't designed for your unique brain. Somehow, you’ve lost the will to be kind to yourself, let alone “love yourself,” even though all the IG inspo accounts you follow make it seem like that's so easy to do.

Welcome! Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. Over the past 14 years I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

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.
