I have embarked on a journey of personal development and growth myself, and I understand how difficult it can be to take the step towards transformation. Exploring the inner self, personality, relationships, childhood traumas, and issues that hinder leading a fulfilling life requires courage. This work is a process and my approach is client-centred. As a therapist, I create a compassionate and caring environment where clients feel safe and supported in their therapy process. I acknowledge the importance of each person's life story and how the distinctiveness and expression of it can impact how they live.

My practice is focused on helping individuals struggling with various forms of distress such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use my expertise to help individuals understand the factors that shaped their experience of the world and to become more flexible with how they act, relate, think, and make decisions. Clients will also be supported to develop healthier coping strategies to lessen the negative impact that chronic distress can have on their capacity to strive for meaningful goals. The client's internal resources and strengths are engaged to aid in the pursuit of these goals.

I believe healing is a collaborative endeavour, and the therapeutic relationship is as important as the therapy itself. I offer virtual services, including individual counselling, group therapy, and supervision—As well as 20-minute complimentary consultations. Direct billing is available through Canada Life, Green Shield, SunLife, and Blue Cross/Medavie.

Waitlist for new clients
Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, & emotional difficulties can be extremely isolating, leading to feelings of shame and secrecy. Everyday "normal" functions might feel tough. Things as necessary as eating, moving, & relationships might feel confusing, overwhelming, or scary. It may feel like your nervous system is hijacked & you react in unintended ways. One's inner world feels chaotic, while those outside say "it's in your head". Trauma informed therapy recognizes that experiences shape our symptoms/coping/survival strategies, and relationships. Together we may work to calm your system, heal, and discover new ways of being.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, grief? Did you grow up in a family that couldn't offer you emotional support due to immigration issues, substance abuse or other factors? Sometimes you feel lost, confused, that you don't belong? Perhaps your religious background was a factor in your feeling alone, lost or shameful and you feel also the weight of your BIPOC experience. You worked hard, and succeeded in many areas but still feel challenged by life and relationships. You may also be neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD). If that's you, I have the training and experience to help you.

Therapy is a journey towards appreciating, knowing and growing into who you are. I want to help you find breathing room in the spaces that feel small, tight and limiting in your life.

With person-to-person humility, I can accompany you through the places that scare you to the spark of humour that makes it all lighter and the 'aha' moment that puts everything into perspective. Following this process we can help you create a life that is rich in meaning, dignity and purpose unique to you.

I practice trauma-informed somatic & relational psychotherapy. Relational psychotherapy values how the relationships in our life, from birth to death, impact how we understand ourselves, each other, our connections, ruptures and how we engage in daily experiences. Body-centered therapy uses the body to access, resource and heal unresolved trauma. Developing somatic resources, increases our capacity to feel safe in our bodies, gain a deeper knowing of ourselves, feel resourced & to heal. Together we will explore, what's happening in your life, where you struggle, your hopes, and how to move towards healing & thriving.

I've worked therapeutically with diverse populations, in correctional and community settings, with families, adolescents and adults, for about 20 years. My approach is nuanced and responsive; my lens is anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma informed, queer and trans affirming, and psycho-dynamically and somatically attuned. To me, this means listening to, and noticing with you, communication from various verbal and non-verbal levels. It also means witnessing and acknowledging cultural, systemic, and familial legacies of power and oppression and their impact on our internal and external lives.

As a psychotherapist, my job is first of all to listen closely: to learn what the world looks like through your eyes, and how some things are currently not working for you. Being able to "tune in" in this way to each person's unique experience is one of the most important things I can offer, and I have been told throughout my career that I am very good at it. It is the foundation that allows trust to develop between us, so you feel comfortable enough to explore painful or difficult issues together.

The ability to navigate challenges of ALL sorts, to understand our reactions & needs, to have a varied "toolkit" of skills to deal with what life brings our way, & to create the supports & practices to help us through as best possible...it's more important than ever. And for so many of us, trauma & loss have been an additional, important part of the past years. For many, trauma and loss were already in our history, and continue to be. Please know, therapy can help!

You are driven and a high performer and it has cost you a lot of anxiety. Your solution has been to work harder and power through everything, at home and at work. Even though you feel disconnected, lonely and isolated, you tell yourself - keep going. This is the only way you know how. You're afraid of failing, you're afraid to stop, you're afraid of taking that next step in your career. You don't have to suffer for success and happiness. Your way of coping isn't working anymore. Let me show you a better way, this is not about changing your work ethic, it’s about using different tools to reframe success and support.

Being a human being is hard sometimes. Living in today’s world with its unique pressures and stressors. I work with women, men and non-binary individuals who grapple with perfectionism, anxiety, trauma, depression and emotional regulation. This looks different to every person but the common thread I see is a feeling of disconnection from their bodies, overwhelm from their schedules, stress or conflict in their relationships, or a deep existential questioning of themselves and a desire to have more meaning and presence in their lives and communities.
