Do you have negative thoughts and core beliefs that you’re not good enough, smart enough or worthy of unconditional love, success and joy? Are you having difficulty waking up in the morning, lack motivation or can’t fall asleep at night because your mind keeps spinning around in circles? Are you experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress or have had some difficult experiences in life that are keeping you stuck? You’ve acquired many strengths and coping skills but there’s still something holding you back from being the person you can and want to be. If that’s what brought you here, I can help.

I offer one-on-one individual sessions for adults and youth navigating themes of depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, grief, sexuality, gender identity, race/racism, childhood trauma, relationships issues, self-worth and harm reduction/substance use. I approach the exploration of healing and trauma processing with a non-linear, non-pathological perspective that recognizes the relationships between systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, and adaptive survival/coping mechanisms. My hope is to ground our conversations in nuance, sensitivity and curiosity.

Does living life feel much more difficult for you than it seems to be for other people? Do you try endlessly to achieve your potential and feel happy, or at least satisfied, but nothing really seems to help? Have you tried everything you can think of but still can't seem to find relaxation or peace of mind?

Clients come to me when they're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to "keep it together all the time". Often, they're suffering from a combination of burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, fears or low self-esteem. They feel disconnected from themselves and unable to navigate even the simplest of daily challenges. They want support in learning how to reduce the weight of their emotional and physical tensions and regain confidence in their ability to navigate their daily lives.

When life begins to feel challenging and overwhelming, it can be difficult to create space for calm and stillness. We may even seek to avoid the quiet altogether, fearing the thoughts that arise or the emotions we keep buried beneath the surface. It often feels easier to distract ourselves from our thoughts or to numb and detach from the challenging emotions that inevitably emerge. Therapy can provide us with a space to turn inward and deeply connect with ourselves, allowing us to bring awareness to our patterns, better understand our needs, move towards acceptance, or even work towards change.
