Our feelings, thoughts and actions can have a significant impact on our ability to connect with others, achieve our goals and engage in the parts of life we find meaningful. These changes in ourselves can often be explained by challenging experiences or turbulent relationships, which leave us feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Together, we'll work to create a safe environment where you feel empowered to discuss, process, and problem solve concerns related to relationships, self-esteem, trauma, identity, and other topics.

My passion is to walk with people as they navigate through difficult and confusing times. My multidisciplinary education in science, philosophy, religion, psychology and psychotherapy allows me to look at the person and their life from a holistic perspective. Sometimes we need counseling because we are stuck and don’t know how to move forward. Other times we need it to learn healthy skills to prevent us from falling into some difficult and stressful situations. Whether you’re dealing with depression, an addiction, a relationship conflict or a variety of other issues, I’d love to assist you understanding and resolution.

In order to feel safe and in control, you may have learned certain survival and coping strategies to keep you grounded. Perhaps you are a child of immigrants, struggling to exist between two cultures. Or maybe you were afraid to disappoint others and taught yourself to never have any needs or boundaries. These behaviours, while understandable, may no longer serve you in the ways that you need. Together, we can explore and unpack your life experiences, offer understanding and validation to the shutdown parts of you, and learn to take up space and exist in our world. Psychotherapy can promote healing, resiliency, and self-empowerment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out, finding yourself on edge, down, and doubting yourself? You may worry about things you have said or done "wrong" in a day. It's hard to say no - to find the time and energy to take care of your needs. You may feel guilty more often than not. There may be a sense, even when things are seemingly going well, that you may have overlooked something or something "bad" is around the corner. Do you question if you're the problem - that something is wrong with you and that you just can't hack it? Whether others know or it or not, you just don't feel that comfortable in your own skin.

If you are just tired of giving and caring for everyone around you except for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I come from a teaching background where students and duties came first. As a child of immigrant parents and currently a military spouse, I have also experienced increased stress due to frequent relocations and living far away from family and friends. A common block to getting much-needed help and support is the belief that self-care is selfish. The thing is by slowing down and taking care of your own emotional and mental needs you will be able to offer so much more to the world!

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to understanding and experiencing your authentic self.
