Life can be a struggle sometimes, but it shouldn't be all of the time. If you've been been standing in the same place for far too long, some new insights and strategies could be required to move forward. I help clients come to a new understanding about themselves and develop a plan to become empowered in personal or work relationships, to replace destructive coping habits with healthy ones, and to transform anxiety and fear into confidence. I believe everyone has the inner resources to become their authentic selves and step into their power.

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.

Are you feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or as though you aren't living authentically? I work closely with my clients to compassionately address issues of importance to them, such as identifying emotions and thought patterns, exploring difficult interpersonal dynamics, recognizing behavioural patterns and defenses, developing & implementing coping skills, deepening self-compassion, and making meaningful shifts in their lives. I am mindful that seeking out therapy and sharing your experiences feels vulnerable and intend to create a shared understanding of what may be happening for you in a non-judgmental way.

Within my therapeutic practice, establishing and maintaining a warm and collaborative relationship is of the upmost importance to me. I believe each individual is unique and worthy, and that people typically do the best they can with the resources available to them. Within therapy, you can expect to feel heard, validated, and have a supportive space to express and explore your emotions and tap into your strengths. I want to understand you as a person and to create safe place where you do not feel alone. I encourage both self-compassion and exercising one’s power to take action.

Accepting new clients for in person and video sessions. The most important relationship we have in the world is the one we have with ourselves. I’m sorry you are needing to be here; I am glad you are choosing yourself and that you are worth feeling the way you want to feel. When you’ve come to the point of accepting that you need support in overcoming challenges in your life, you may feel overwhelmed, beat down, tired, and low. Many people feel a sense of relief following even the initial session where they’ve taken the first step in improving their life, relationships with others, and the relationship with themselves.

You're in a lot of pain. It might be a sharp, edgy, "I think there must be something really wrong here" type of distress, or a dull, achy, "Life has got to be better than this" kind of despair. You can point to things around you that aren't as they should be, or you have experienced enough trauma to fill a book, but just knowing this hasn't gotten you or your loved one any closer to peace, let alone joy. It's as if there's something hidden, something below the surface, something you can't quite identify, that's holding onto the pain really that's in the way of feeling fully alive.

They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be a monster, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master!

I have observed that the patients I care for struggle with the very things that make us human, namely difficult thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and the inner conflict that these create. Ultimately we want to feel free to be ourselves, fulfilled in our relationships, capable of meeting challenges, satisfied with meaningful and purposeful lives all despite living in a rapidly changing world both on the societal and technological fronts. The path forward for many of us includes a deep acceptance, not necessarily agreement, of the barriers interfering with life satisfaction, disempowering them and then creatively responding.
