I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of effective psychotherapy. To build this relationship, I focus on three essential qualities: trust, caring, and respect. Together, we will assess where you currently stand in relation to your treatment goals and explore how best to move forward toward a more fulfilling life. Ultimately, I aim to empower you to actively participate in your own growth.

Years ago, at a health consultation, I was asked a trauma related question that caused me to reflect on the connection of the mind and body. It completely confounded me yet, it stayed with me. As soon as I returned home I opened my laptop and began to research trauma and the body. And, what I found led to my realization of the significance of an embodied approach to healing. It also began my journey into the field of psychotherapy.

I seek to create therapeutic spaces that are both supportive and exploratory. Drawing on my training as a therapist and literary scholar, I believe in the value of thinking carefully, deeply, and creatively about the stories we tell (and sometimes don’t tell) about ourselves. By learning to tell their stories, and perhaps learning to tell their stories differently, my clients are able to find balance, take risks, and centre healing in their lives.

Taking this first step toward healing is the most courageous, yet intimidating and vulnerable experience one may ever take. I recognize this, and welcome you into a safe space with compassion, warmth and empathy. Over the last few years, I have worked with couples, families and individuals searching for hope in times of crisis. I will work collaboratively with you to process and explore the roots of your emotional distress and support you toward increasing resilience and self-awareness. I can also help you to navigate through feeling "stuck" and/or "lost" due to life transitions and traumatic experiences.

I have a strong belief in your capacity to change. I’ve worked for over 25 years supporting people who are struggling from both physical and emotional pain. I help people find stability and reconnect with themselves, as they do the important work of reclaiming and changing their life for the better. If you have done "healing" work in the past and feel like it is time to tackle new challenges or wish to experience new and innovative therapy interventions, we might be a great fit.

Deciding to seek support is not always easy. Typically it's made when a conflict gets to the point where it can no longer be managed alone. Once the decision has been made, there can be fear or unease around talking about vulnerable emotions or life situations. I recognize the courage that it takes to reach out for help, and endeavour to work from a framework of empowerment so clients can uncover their inherent strengths and abilities. Solutions to our troubles often lie within, however the journey to uncovering these is one that many people struggle to walk alone.

Using a variety of counselling techniques, I tailor sessions to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. I strive to be anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and strengths-based in my approach and value ongoing opportunities for learning and education. While paying close attention to cultural factors, I assist clients to navigate barriers and inequities and understand how family, school, workplace and social structures may be impacting them.

New intakes and clients are currently paused. As a therapist, I treat adults seeking support with their sexual orientation or gender identity, along with the challenges of coming out. I also treat symptoms such as anxiety, and depression, or are seeking assistance in family conflicts. As a member of the WPATH, I can offer letters for adults seeking gender-affirming care services that require a therapist's letter. Lastly, those who come to see me want to look deep into themselves, and set goals to parse through their internal judgments to see how our negative experiences with others and society have impacted our own self-esteem.

As much as we may want something or to be some way, we can find it difficult to arrive. Our work, then, is to examine ourselves in our beautiful complexity, to seek to truly understand and to fully experience ourselves, to become alive to our experience. In this way we come to allow ourselves to move forward and to discover new ways of being and relating. It is through learning to speak our truths, connecting with what we've always known but perhaps struggled to articulate, that we can find a new path forward.

Thank you for being here! I work with adults who may experience emotional and behavioural difficulties. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, racial trauma, grief and loss, and other relational problems. I also work with those who have experienced childhood trauma. In my work, I consistently and sincerely acknowledge the importance of the transgenerational impact of acculturation on our beliefs, worldviews, and sense of self. I genuinely believe that we are not broken, so we do not need "fixing;" instead, we work to be the self we want to be!

Do you suffer from overwhelming emotions, depression, or anxiety? Are you feeling adrift or disconnected in your relationships? I bring an open curiosity to your experiences – whatever those may be – and, working together, we can uncover and navigate the internal and external obstacles you face. My goal as your therapist is to create a genuine, empathetic relationship between you and I, through which healing and change can take place. I also see individuals as embedded in broader social contexts that shape how we think, feel, and behave, and which may be implicated in psychological and interpersonal problems.
