I work with all stages of the life cycle with a particular focus on children, youth and families. I help individuals figure out what goals they wish to achieve and support them to make a plan of how to get there. It is wonderful to talk to family and friends but they are often not "neutral" in terms of the support they provide. Having someone to talk to outside that circle to listen, reframe what is going on and offer strategies can be invaluable!

Anxiety, invalidation, depression, and overwhelm, may have major needs worth supporting. I've noticed overthinking, numbing, avoidance, ongoing suffering from trauma, or imbalances in mind and body may surface. Most clients discover what is most fulfilling and transformative only during deeper reflection or exploration of their needs. Come find what you value, how to better express your needs, and discover how to help yourself. Feeling lost, unsupported, and uncertain is natural, but you don't need to stay stuck. Regardless of the reason, I’m glad you found your way here to connect and find your authentic path forward.

One size does not fit all; thus, I am unique because I utilize integrative, somatic, EMDR, cognitive, behavioural, emotional and neurofeedback!

Perhaps you have experienced trauma that has shaped your core beliefs which has led to difficulties and challenges in your interpersonal relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed and putting heart racing pressure on yourself to be a version of you that you think you "should be" is a slippery slope that can leave you feeling depleted, irritable and full of shame. It's important to understand our emotions to know what to do with them and with a million competing demands on your brain and your time it's hard to take a breath to figure it out! The thought that we don't have it all together when it seems like everyone else has all the things figured out makes to you want to hide in your bed tucked under the blankets (even though sleep is a dream) stuck in a nasty spiral of failure.
