Are you thinking about taking steps towards healing and growth? My practice is guided by principles of integrity, non-judgement, collaboration, curiosity and compassion. I view my clients holistically, and regard what they bring to therapy as subject to nuance. I spent over 10 years doing community-based harm reduction work. I am well-versed in working with clients to build an atmosphere where they feel safe, equipped, and empowered to address and overcome their unique challenges. I understand that such spaces can only be created by actively listening to and applying feedback from my clients and adapting my practice accordingly.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or hopeless? Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you are running in circles, trapped in a maze, opening doors that lead you back to where you started. This can be exhausting - draining energy without making any perceived progress. Eventually even the thought of exploring the maze can make you feel tired, anxious, or overwhelmed. We were not meant to face these struggles alone and I would be honoured to join you in deeply exploring your experiences. You know yourself better than anyone else. You are the expert, and my approach to therapy involves empowering you to recognize and build upon your existing

What would life feel like if you felt worthy, joyful, healthy, and your emotional needs were met. Therapy is a gift to yourself to feel good again and manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and PTSD that keeps you feeling stuck and less than. People often make wrong conclusions about their worth based on the level of emotional attunement and care they received growing up or the trauma they experienced. In the empowering relationship we form, I create a safe to talk and compassionately work alongside you to help, work through your pain & improve the relationship with yourself by discovering meaning, mindfulness and hope.

We are a diverse team of over 40 licensed and experienced therapists! We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We help individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their heads that need to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers I believe that the first step in moving towards the life you want is to accept yourself and your position as they are. This is not a request to settle, but rather, an invitation to look at the cards you hold. Only after accepting how things are can your next steps be determined. I can provide the space for you to express how difficult things are, while the healing relationship we build together will serve as the vehicle driving change. Seeking support is not easy, and you are stronger than you think by simply taking this first step.

Dominant discourses impact our daily lives. They construct normative, 'tellable' stories, marginalizing and invalidating others. We are each the expert on our own life, with our own embodied ways of knowing. Sometimes disconnections between lived experiences and the meanings imposed on them become overwhelming. I invite and hold space for subjugated stories as a therapeutic form of resistance.

I am a registered social worker who was brought to therapeutic work through my own process of understanding how to authentically connect to our selves, our bodies and others in the midst of healing from relational trauma. With trauma and loss having been prominent aspects of my life, I am familiar with how the impacts of these experiences act as barriers to connection and repair.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.
