Or are you lonely and isolated, burned out or emotionally and physically exhausted? Are you looking to understand yourself on a deeper level? Stressors in our everyday lives, Relationships, Systemic Barriers and Trauma from the past can live in us and manifest as Depression, Anxiety, Physical pain and Insomnia.

About You: You may have worked with a counsellor before, or this may be the first time, but it’s time to make room for personal growth, or face a challenge head on. You may be comfortable seeking support, or used to keeping it all in; but it’s time to try something new. We may have a lot in common, or a little; but it’s time to find out. I’ve learned that oftentimes the situations we find ourselves in, have much more to do with the outside world than our inner one. So many of our challenges arise when we are unable to differentiate the two, and determine where our own perspectives and power lie.

In my experience working in the mental health sector for the last 5 years, therapy is often sought after someone has suffered long enough or until the symptoms become unmanageable. It is my hope that as we continue to de-stigmatize mental health more people can feel comfortable utilizing this valuable service as a preventative measure and not as a last resort. My approach as a therapist is simple: helping others increase awareness and insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe through careful introspection and analysis we can reach a level of compassion and acceptance for ourselves and others.

One common intention for those seeking therapy is that they're ready for change. Something has shifted and they feel it is time to do some personal work. I honour the courage that takes and I am ready to meet you where you are. I work with folx seeking therapy for a range of different reasons. A place to speak without judgement. A therapeutic relationship that feels supportive and validating. A container to explore and process trauma. A person who accepts you for who you are. An experience that allows you to try out ideas.

Life is full of challenges, and by overcoming these challenges we can learn, grow, and discover things about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes though, these challenges become too much to handle. Perhaps we’ve experienced a loss, a major change, or a trauma, something that has taken away the sense of control over our lives and we find ourselves stuck and overwhelmed, no longer able to learn from life’s challenges, but feeling helpless to overcome them. For many of us, this sense of overwhelm leads to symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Most of us can ride out the bad times. But sometimes we can’t bounce back. Sometimes we can’t even get up because life has hit us too hard and too often. You may be feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and hopeless. Perhaps you’re even wondering how counselling can help. However, with over 32 years of experience under my belt, I can confidently assure you that your suffering can quickly and effectively diminish.

At one time or another in our lives we hit an obstacle, a mountain, and if we're raised to feel freely it maybe wouldn't be as hard to traverse it, to get through it. I hope to be but a Sherpa on your trek, I know the way but you hold the map. Some days it gets hard and desperate, finding a person to explore with, to navigate life with, helps to grow your "life worth living". It's as true today as ever I've said it, but awareness is key, without awareness and acceptance there can be little lasting change.

I believe that seeking support from another human being is a very natural thing to do. As a therapist, I believe that my humanity is an asset in supporting clients as they work through challenges, developing a deeper understanding of their lives. As a counsellor and art therapist, I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust, where I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach paired with my training to help clients work through whatever challenges they are facing. I have a special passion for working with immigrants and refugees: as a newcomer to Canada, I understand the struggles that are often presented.

I believe that challenges can be beautiful, albeit deeply painful, opportunities to create a life you feel inspired to live There is hope in every situation, and often life’s greatest lessons are learned during its biggest obstacles. Life's not always easy. Hardships and transitions can blindside you and leave you feeling like you’re just trying to survive, and on autopilot. And then the questions come: Who am I? How did I get here? The life you have doesn’t reflect the one you imagined. While we can not change the past, we can choose to create meaning in our experiences, and determine how its legacy comes forward with us.
