I have special interest and experience supporting women through trauma and abuse, others with issues of self-acceptance, relationship difficulties, cross cultural adjustment and the impacts of working in aid and development, as well as issues of faith, spirituality (including religious trauma), and supporting those surviving through grief and loss.
Are you looking for a safe space to share your story and reflect on what you want for your future? Do you wish for freedom from fear, and increasing joy in your life? I have needed these very things at different times in my own life, and the courage it takes to reach out has been worth it every time. With specialized training in CBT for anxiety I work from an anti-oppressive framework, using a strengths-based, individually tailored approach to each client’s experience and interest. I love working with individuals, families and youth, and I am passionate about supporting people in their desire to grow, to heal and to create change.

Due to my dedication and commitment to your health I have obtained extensive training and obtained certifications in ground-breaking therapeutic techniques that treat: emotion dysregulation, PTSD & trauma related concerns, grief & loss, and relationship hardships.
Throughout life there are unpleasant experiences you have survived that directly impact the way you view yourself, others, and the world. Maybe you’re actively experiencing these events or are experiencing the effects of them years later. At times, the self you previously knew feels lost as unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness increase in intensity and the things you used to enjoy are no longer providing you with a break. Continuing to avoid the uncomfortable is exhausting and repeats the cycle you are trying your best to stop.

Do you ever feel stuck in your life? You know forward is the way to go, but you just can’t seem to get there. You've tried. A lot of things. Yet, you just can’t seem to feel better. With your partner, you can’t seem to communicate anymore. You’ve begun to resent each other. Neither of you wants to live this way, but neither of you knows how to get out of this box you both feel stuck in. How would you like to feel like an improved version of yourself? Thriving, making progress, even flourishing?

Grief Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
