As an experienced Individual, Couple and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you move past 'blocks' and patterns that are holding you back from realizing your true self and happiness, both personally and in your important relationships. My approach is strength based, non-judgmental, collaborative, supportive yet steadily challenging, while using humour and creativity. It is important for me to create a space where people feel like they can be themselves.

I help people reduce conflict, restore integrity, find ease, confidence and joy in their lives, even when it seems impossible. Through this work, you can harness your own innate ability to face and transform the challenges of living, loving, working and parenting. Together we create a compassionate and courageous space where you are heard and understood within the wider context of your family and environment. Using the neuroscience of emotion, this work addresses problems at the root, rather than focusing on behaviours or symptoms.

I believe we are all capable of improving our lives but many of us become "stuck" in the process due to self doubt, insecurity, lack of self esteem, past and/or present trauma, losses, etc. My approach is to work together to find the most appropriate solutions for these issues, or find comfort and acceptance with the challenges of life. With broader perspectives, or an alternative life choice, we increase our general well-being. I believe in practical solutions and appropriate perspectives, allowing all of us a better sense of comfort and competency in everyday life.

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 Only Constant in Life is Change"- Heraclitus. Who can't relate to that being true the past years with the pandemic & unrelenting change?! 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!

Choosing a therapist is hard. I've been there myself, looking through profiles and having no idea who to choose. I became a therapist because I've had my own personal struggles with depression and anxiety. I am able to offer a unique perspective of someone who has been both a patient, and a therapist. If you're looking for someone who has perhaps shared some of your experiences, I might be a good fit for you. I specialize in working with issues related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationships, and trauma.

I have over ten years of experience working with dynamic populations who have come to therapy to heal from a wide spectrum of traumatic experiences. I specialize in perinatal therapy with specific experience working with perinatal loss and birth trauma that considers shifts in identity that can accompany pregnancy, birth and perinatal loss. I have also worked closely with survivors of violence and childhood trauma, addiction and mental health survivors, as well as LGBTQIA+ youth and their families. I am passionate about helping trauma survivors honour their experiences as they move toward a place of self-discovery and healing.

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.
