I help adults in their 20s-30s who want to feel happy again but are feeling stuck, lost, numb, or overwhelmed with life. My clients tell me that the pressure to choose the right degree, career, friends, or partner leads them to spiral into depression, anxiety, and other difficult feelings. They feel alone and misunderstood. They want to smile and feel like themself again, but don’t know how.

Perhaps you feel at an impasse or in crisis. Or you struggle to find meaning or equilibrium. Maybe the goals you set for yourself elude you despite your best intentions. Or you mourn losses: of loved ones, of relationships, of past possibilities, youth, or good health. I believe that lasting change arrives by way of self-understanding & authentic connection within ourselves, with other people, & with the world-at-large. I offer a therapeutic environment where you are heard; where your unique hopes & experiences are recognized; & where you can discover & explore hidden or silent aspects of yourself without shame or fear of judgement.

We believe that as individuals, we are each searching for well-being and acceptance. For peace. We work with a philosophy that so much of what causes pain and distress in this world is connected to what goes on outside of the individual person. By taking this approach, finding peace and achieving well-being is not only about working on the self, but recognizing that society needs to change as well. We aim to work on both.

People of all ages have expertise on their own lives. When problems linger and impact mental health and well-being, collaborating with a therapist who is a good fit for you can provide a safe space to establish perspective and highlight the unique values, skills and knowledge you bring to your lived experience. I strive to create warm, respectful and strength-based working relationships that allow us to identify problem solving skills and abilities to reduce the influence of the problem or dissolve it altogether. Sometimes a single consultation is useful while other problems might have us consulting for a period of time.

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

I have been a psychotherapist for 40 years specializing in a variety of issues including child and adult trauma, sexuality, relationships, anxiety, and depression. My approach is highly empathic, encouraging, and practical. I go between understanding how your difficulties developed by talking about your history and exploring what you may be able to do in the present to feel better. I'm very tuned in and present and usually understand pretty quickly what is going on for you. I offer a lot of compassion and feedback to help you move forward. You are not alone with me.

Does any of this sound familiar? You survived emotional neglect. You work hard and are independent. Sometimes, your drive has harmed relationships and partnerships. Perhaps your family members struggle with alcohol or addictions. You often feel isolated and "not enough", and could use help from a person who understands these challenges. If you are Neurodivergent, in Recovery; or considering gender transition, I have specific education + experience to support you (Rainbow Health Ontario provider). I am Autistic (AuDHD), adopted, ACE, trans and in a loving marriage. I work, volunteer and learn in Harm Reduction communities.
