Are you struggling with your mental health or in your relationship with your partner or family? Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience. Successful therapy depends on finding the right therapist - one you can connect with and one who is competent to work with your issues. These are two of the most important factors in getting the right help. Are you a therapist looking for your own therapist, clinical supervision or mentorship? Are you developing your competencies to become and independent practitioner or looking for consultation to navigate difficult cases?

To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement, and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

When we have suffered over a long period of time without much support or compassion, we come to rely on certain ways of being and relating that keep us safe but isolated from ourselves and those we love. This is normal considering what we have experienced. Trauma and lack of early nurturing skew our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. Neither can be trusted, and this determines how we are in relationship within and with others. At the core of all of this is our longing to be in nurturing relationships because the need to feel loved, wanted, and accepted are so innate in us. Therefore, feeling the converse: rejection and shame is a blow to our very sense of self. We reject because we really want to be needed and accepted, and yet we are afraid. The pain we feel in this dichotomy is profound.

You’ve been through a lot. Maybe you've never told anyone your story; maybe you've only shared it with a select few. And you have heard that talking helps. But you wonder — how many times do I have to re-hash the discomfort before it releases me? How long before I can rest? You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, stuck, hopeless, scared… You may not have a clear direction, or any idea of your goals. You might not know where or how to start. Yes - We all carry our past into the future. But the weight doesn’t have to be unbearable, and you don’t have to hold it alone.

Understanding that each client brings their own unique story, struggles, and aspirations, I aim to meet you where you are. Your journey may involve navigating the complexities of family dynamics, coping with the physical and emotional changes brought on by perimenopause and menopause, grappling with the impacts of trauma, facing the challenges of addiction, or untangling the intricacies of relationship issues. These situations can often lead to feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and a yearning for a path towards healing and understanding.

I am a psychodynamic and certified trauma therapist. I use a non-pathologizing approach to understand emotional distress. Instead of seeing it as an illness, I help people see their inherent strengths and understand the meaning behind their struggles. Many of the struggles people want help with are coping strategies that worked at an earlier time in their lives, but are no longer helpful. I work with people to explore how these behaviours came to be, how they served them, and how to cultivate new ways of being that align with their goals and values. I use a psychodynamic approach as well as IFS, EMDR, and somatic work.

Life's struggles come in many shapes and sizes and focusing on areas in which we have control is a great stepping stone to formulate the life we want to be living, instead of getting stuck in the usual negative thinking that many of us get caught in from time to time.
