Feeling overwhelmed? Wondering if it ever gets any easier? Struggling with boundaries in your personal or work life. Challenging parental relationships, family conflict and estrangement and can leave you wondering who you really are. You might be experiencing the grief or loss of a person or a relationship. Adult diagnosis of ADHD or other neurodivergence can bring heavy emotions and frustration. What if we could move at your pace to uncover root causes of your current pain and return to wholeness? Having begun my own healing therapy journey years ago, and a recent ADHD diagnosis, I appreciate what it feels like to be understood.

You are asking the big existential questions. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Perhaps you keep looking to self-help books and always taking the next seminar or online course - always looking for the answers outside yourself. You want to feel connected to yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you, yet you feel like you don't belong. You feel loss and grief and are searching for purpose but are living with depression and anxiety and questioning your self-worth.

Whether we identify as male, female, transgendered, non-binary, mother, father, or other, I know one thing for sure; we are humans playing a part in this game of life. We all practice being human, unconsciously and/or consciously. We all experience life's most difficult trials and troubles and yes, we also experience joy. This is immutable. Given this reality, how can we live our life optimally, rich with purpose and fulfillment while balancing the curve balls, the numbness, the stress, the cravings, or the hurt? The truth is, you can do it. We can do it together. Sometimes all you need is a patient helping hand.

Life's path is rarely straightforward, and I've had the opportunity to work across many industries. Following my Bachelor’s degree in psychology, I began my career as a personal support worker. I later transitioned into human resources at a bank. I have been in practice since 2022, returning to my true passion of helping individuals address their most meaningful challenges.

If the world is a giant garden, each of us is a unique plant. The existence of life itself has meaning and value. Sometimes we feel confused, in pain or stuck. I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard by therapist and self. Healing begins when we connect with ourselves.

While suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, conditions of systemic oppression distribute it unevenly. To survive the difficult realities of life, we develop habitual patterns to manage psychological pain, often at the expense of our values and creativity. Psychotherapy can help raise our awareness, transform protective mechanisms, and release difficult emotions.

I work with adults and youth (14+) on a diverse range of mental health issues, often related to anxiety, trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, stress management, perfectionism and low self esteem. Some have lived with significant mental health symptoms for years, and others are newly suffering due to a loss or other big life change. Most are frustrated by thoughts, emotions and impulses that pull them away from living a more intentional life. They are stuck or lost and seeking a place that feels safe inside and out.

It can be difficult taking time to identify and process the challenges we collectively experience in our fast-paced “go go go” society. Taking a pause and being curious about ourselves is the first step in this journey. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration and non-judgment. I strive to cultivate a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions, feel seen and heard. I work primarily within a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness based framework to address various challenges, help individuals achieve their goals, and live more fulfilling lives.
