How do you find hope? You are truly strong and resilient, and your kindness shines through as you strive to be there for the people who matter most to you. However, this dedication to others can sometimes lead to neglecting your own needs. Always being the support for everyone else can take a toll on you, and it might seem like there's no one there to support you in return. The weight of the world might feel heavy on your shoulders, leaving you with a sense of being misunderstood, anxious, and overwhelmed.

I am happy that you are taking a courageous step to seek mental health support. Therapy can be a way to work through those parts of life that have us feel confused, alone, silenced and held back. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I utilize an integrative approach to children, youth and adults to create goals, and approaches to support you with your goals. I strive to provide a compassionate and empathetic ear while clients walk along the path to wellness and self-exploration, while not underestimating having a sense of humour.

Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.

You and I were both lost children. Therefore, " love" is irreplaceable to us. Even if life deprives us of everything, a child who is loved will surely find happiness. That's why we were born in the world. You can just be yourself with me. Non-judgmental should not just be a slogan. Your sadness, worries, and even hates, as long as they are part of you, they deserve a space to be heard and accepted. Find deprived love and get the courage to be yourself. I will be with you.

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.

I support individuals experiencing challenges with relationship/attachment patterns, low self-esteem, anxiety, school/career stress, depression, grief/loss, trauma, and life transitions. My approach begins with building a therapeutic rapport to provide space for exploring, curiosity, and healing. I practice from a framework that recognizes your individual strengths, is informed by attachment, considers neuroscience research, and is cognizant of any past trauma/circumstances that brought you here. Collaboratively, we will use a combination of evidence-based strategies to manage your current concerns and foster hope and resilience.
