Life isn't simple, it's filled with experiences and emotions that can be overwhelming and stressful.

Living in the most multicultural city in the world, we are given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, insight and perspectives from various cultures and traditions that we can utilize to understand people. I provide an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy to deal with trauma, loss, relationships, conflict, and crisis.

Registered Member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Full Range of Assessment and Treatment for Children, Teens, Adults, and Families.

All of our children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent/caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodivergent children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

I am passionate about my work in the field of Psychotherapy, and I take pride in providing compassionate, empathetic, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic relationship throughout the process. I strive to empower individuals to overcome their personal emotional barriers to improve overall mental health and move on successfully.

Are you or your child having difficulty managing anxiety or stress, or keeping emotions on an even keel? Do you or your child feel distant from family or romantic partners?

I have over 25 years' experience working with children, individuals, couples and families. I collaboratively engage with people to strengthen their ability to gain new skills and improve their mental health. My sense of humour and empathetic approach assists me in connecting with adults and children alike. My clients appreciate my client-centred use of therapeutic modalities that focus on self-determination. I work from a strength-based perspective and believe in working in collaboration with clients to develop their own intrinsic potential. Clients can expect me to listen intently while co-creating a plan of support.

I firmly believe every child and parent has an inherent desire to do well, and when they aren't, they just need a little help getting there. Together, we can achieve that. In my practice, I work alongside children, youth, and families to support them through life's challenges so they can develop the skills to thrive. While I bring my expertise as a psychotherapist, I recognize that each individual is ultimately the expert in their own life. In therapy, I aim to co-create a space where I can serve as a guide to help your child explore, reflect, and progress towards growth.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I provide counselling services to families, children and adults. My clinical practice encompasses a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, divorce issues, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, identity and self-esteem issues, post-traumatic stress, life decisions and transitions. I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy, combining elements of cognitive-behavioural, DBT, solution-focused, interpersonal, mindfulness and experiential treatment strategies.

Do you or a family member struggle with anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day functioning and relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected by the demands or work or school? Do you question whether life could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling uncertain about finding their place in life. Not addressing your issues can lead to more suffering down the road.

My focus is on establishing a safe and nurturing environment where children, youth and families can freely express themselves, explore emotions, and develop the necessary skills to continue to navigate life’s complexities. Recognizing the crucial role families play in the well-being of children and youth, my work extends beyond the individual to encompass close collaboration with their families and support networks. By fostering strong partnerships and equipping parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need, we can build an environment that encourages growth and resilience.

Whether you are an adult, adolescent or child, feelings of stress, anxiety and depression can become overwhelming. Therapy can help change patterns of negative thinking, feelings and behaviours and relieve the emotional distress. My current experiences include, but are not limited to, clients with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am also trained in creative CBT interventions for children with anxiety. The modalities that I use are Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy SFT and Narrative therapy. My practice is located in Pembroke.

Navigating some of life’s more difficult challenges can sometimes be an overwhelming experience. You might be feeling worried, stressed, angry and questioning your place in the world. It is my hope and honor to act as an empathic guide, by creating a safe and supportive environment in which you can explore any confusing or unsettling thoughts, emotions, behaviors and relationships you may be experiencing. I offer a collaborative and creative approach to help you cultivate a deeper understanding of any potentially negative patterns, and seek to enhance your strengths and resiliency to challenge and change them as they arise.
