Establishing a relationship with the hidden or unconscious aspects of your mind (psyche) and body (soma) can help you learn how to live with your deepest emotional wounds, while also offering you the opportunity to discover vitality, freedom, and joy. I can support you in learning how to lean into your pain and grow your edges so that you can express yourself more authentically. I use safe psychological practices to connect people to their own innate wisdom; coherence between your mind, heart, and body is possible.

Welcome! I'm a firm believer that therapy doesn't have to feel like a trip to the dentist. I specialize in awkward topics, it's important to me that our conversations feel like you're talking to a trusted friend. I help individuals, relationships (mono & ENM) as well as polycules & whole family units. I offer a compassion focused therapy model, often coupled with CBT strategies & dad jokes to help us work through the tough stuff. As an RN Psychotherapist, I not only know traditional psychotherapy techniques but I have knowledge in anatomy/physiology, medication management and I've taken specific education focused in sex therapy.

Teens and young adults have so much going on and can really struggle. Even when they look good on the outside. Between school stuff, friend drama, boyfriends, girlfriends, breakups, jobs, sports, and trying to cope and manage with everything coming their way, it's no wonder they blow up, shut down, and lose it. And when parents try to help, they're "nagging" or "don't understand." Counselling can help them find their way back. I work teens to help figure things out and manage their big feelings in a healthier way, letting them feel more in control, reduce anxiety and depression, and help get them back on track.

The clients I serve in my practice are first responders, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. Youâve been in therapy before and although youâve seen results you arenât yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. Youâve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now youâre ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

I work with individuals, families and couples struggling with trauma, relationship struggles, tough family dynamics and parenting. When you have experienced adverse events in your childhood or recent trauma you may have difficulties regulating your mood, feeling joy, advocating for yourself, and may often feel unworthy or undeserving of positive things. Life events can leave us worried about being both physically and socially safe, as well as lacking a sense of belonging. Anxiety is a common feeling, leading to low mood, anger, intrusive thoughts, failed or chaotic relationships. Living this way can lead to burnout.

Youâre getting calls from the school about your child. If he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable.
