It takes courage to begin taking steps toward starting therapy. Has your life become too overwhelming and stressful to manage alone? Are you nervous, grieving and feeling down? I have been there, too, and feeling anxious and afraid is normal. As your therapist, I will walk with you on your healing journey. A safe and supportive ambiance would be created where we can share openly and address your concerns. I want to help you, especially if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or trauma. If you are open to working with me, we could develop a personalized treatment plan aligning with your goals.

I believe that personal health encompasses not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, and thoughts as well. My passion for psychotherapy comes from helping others achieve their goals and fulfill a wholistic picture of health by improving and integrating all areas of their lives. Since I began practicing in the field in 2018, I have discovered that one of the greatest rewards for me is supporting clients in learning new skills and gaining a different perspective often while using a sense of humor. While doing this, my goal is to help them utilize their own strengths and abilities to develop a happier and healthier life.

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.

Accepting new patients. In-person sessions (Centretown). The goal of my treatments is not only to alleviate or extinguish psychological symptoms, but also to allow patients to better know and understand themselves. Working with an interpersonal psychoanalytic approach will lead you in the exploration of both conscious and unconscious experiences, which fosters a better functioning within your interpersonal contexts. I have been working with a large variety of patients of all ages, treating them not as a mere set of symptoms but as whole people with unique and unrepeatable stories.

Are you looking for a confidential and non-judgmental space to vent or problem solve? I believe that everyone has a sense of autonomy and resilience, and sometimes a supportive environment is needed to reinforce those strengths that are within each one of us. I view the therapeutic process according to the client-centered framework, which places empathy and unconditional positive regard at the forefront. I combine this humanistic approach with cognitive techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing.

Therapeutic alliance is one of the biggest factors of change–I encourage you to schedule a free consultation to see if we might be a good match and ask any questions you may have. My general approach to therapy is: identify the context and function of thoughts/emotions/behavior as they relate to your goals; practice noticing patterns in action; and from this place of recognition, start to tell a story aligned with your values. To suffer is human–but to grow and heal is also human. I offer evidence-based care with a focus on mindfulness, compassion-focused interventions, as well as on uncovering and elevating your existing strengths.

Through out my long professional life in therapy and counseling I worked with adults, children (+10), couple and families. I worked with people dealing with different challenges, and always found that no matter how hopeless the situation might seem, and no matter how difficult the challenges might appear, people, most of them, can overcome negative feelings and experiences when they get the professional support they need and deserve.

I feel that I am best able to help clients that are poised for a healthy shake-up in their life. Whether it be to address an unhealed trauma, a relationship that is no longer functional, a career that no longer feels meaningful or simply feeling tired of being sick and tired, I find it incredibly rewarding to work with clients who are willing to go under the hood, explore why they do (or have done) what they do, to be informed by this and then translate this into the meaningful change that will bring about the life that they deserve to be living - not only for themselves, but for those who care about them.

If you're looking through these profiles, that means you're probably having a tough time right now. I hope you find the person that suits you best, and get the help you need. Therapy helped me out of a tough time, and I hope it can do the same for you. Life can be confusing, difficult, and traumatic. Even as we try our best, we find ourselves getting stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. My approach to helping is methodical and logical, but with empathy always at the core. Together, we'll be collaborating to understand those unhelpful patterns, to find your strengths, and to break them down so you can build the life you want.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

Becoming a mother brings many emotional challenges. Most moms feel lost and alone at some point. Being a mom myself, I understand the struggles many mothers go through. Many mothers miss the early signs of depression because they think those are signs of pregnancy-related hormonal changes. These symptoms may be more than depression and sadness and have a negative impact on mom’s everyday functioning. As well, I specialize in helping those who have suffered the loss of a baby at any stage of pregnancy or at birth. Miscarriage is not mourned publicly, and there are tools that help deal with this grief.
