Due to the fluctuating, ever-unpredictable nature of the journey through our lives, we will undoubtedly come up against situations, circumstances, and life events that can cause us to feel lost or overwhelmed. We may come to find ourselves struggling with how to make sense of the ambiguity, discomfort, and uncertainty around us, or worrying about the unknown. It is in these times that we recognize that there is no manual for 'how to live', and that navigating through life's ups and downs, complications, major decisions, and unexpected and difficult trajectories is not an instinct, but a learned skill.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered.

I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.

I believe that you know yourself and what you need best. My role is simply to hold space for your thoughts to be expressed and your emotions to be processed so that you can feel capable of handling whatever life throws your way. I am a feminist counsellor who endeavours to create an egalitarian relationship (as much as is possible) with each client, but acknowledge that this desire is impacted by my own lived experience as a white settler on unceded Anishnaabeg territory. My ultimate goals are for clients to feel safe, heard, and empowered, and I have a particular affinity for working with queer and fat folks!
