***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped 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 minds that necessarily needs 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.

ADHD, Emotions, Relationships/ Couples, Anxiety/Stress- You're having a hard time concentrating and getting things done. You struggle to find motivation to complete your daily tasks and then feel down about yourself. You struggle with shifting moods and don't know how to cope. When anxiety and overwhelm take over, it can be hard to function because your concentration and motivation start to slip. And, if you struggle with low mood and negative self-talk, it can be hard to get out of that "funk" and shift to a more productive mindset.

Much of my practice involves supporting individuals and couples with challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues.
Sometimes people come to therapy because they feel unfulfilled and are not sure how to create the change they want. Other times, people have a clear vision for the direction of their life but they are struggling to overcome the internal obstacles getting in the way of their goals. I often work with clients who are struggling to overcome rigid patterns of avoidance. My intention is to help people develop a clearer sense of what is important to them as well as what is getting in the way. Once we have a deeper understanding of this, the ongoing work becomes continuing to refocus on our valued directions.

With 14 years of experience, I help individuals and families manage anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges.
Life has a way of piling on, and it can feel like you're running on empty. Whether you’re feeling burnt out from work, overwhelmed by school, or struggling to connect with your kids or even just feeling like you're missing something, it’s easy to feel stuck. You’re not alone in that! So many people I work with are just trying to find a way to breathe, to feel a little more balanced, a little more “themselves.” Maybe that’s what you’re looking for too, space to feel heard and some clarity on how to move forward.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, compassion, validation and acceptance.
I believe it takes courage to take this first step in reaching out for help. Life is full of challenges and roadblocks that can often be difficult to move past or face alone. In therapy we will work on things that are of concern to you and at a pace that feels right for you. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, or relationship issues. My niche is in working with women struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss or postpartum challenges.

It’s a special relationship and unique space that I co-create with the people who are generous enough to share their inner worlds with me.
Oh hi. You know, I can imagine that he steps leading you here today involved some tough times. I know how difficult it is finding help, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotional, scared. Maybe things are going pretty well and you’re looking to grow. Either way, I think we all deserve every chance to improve ourselves, find ourselves in the one life we've been given here. That’s what I’m trying to do too. The only way I know how. Through listening, awareness, connection, and growth. I do this with folks who might need someone to help them navigate anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

As a Canadian Armed Forces member, I am also interested in supporting veterans and military families who seek support for relationship and workplace anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma.
Our struggles in life feel heavier and can be compounded by trying to navigate them alone. When we need help the most, having someone at your side who supports you can lighten the load. I am humbled to offer a listening ear and to be a person around whom many do not hesitate to be themselves and are comfortable sharing their deepest thoughts and struggles. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity for self-discovery and growth.

My background as a Registered Nurse, working closely with families in acute care settings, has strongly influenced my areas of specialization (trauma, grief, relationship/family conflict, life transitions) and given me unique perspectives.
Something feels off – you’re not feeling “good.” Anxious, lonely, confused, numb, sad. Maybe you can’t figure out why or maybe it’s a memory, feeling, or moment that you can’t shake. Finding the words to describe what’s happening is hard because you don’t fully understand it yourself. But you don't have to stay stuck! Through reflection and processing our past experiences, you can begin to heal, grow, and consciously choose a different path. Building awareness can help you break free from unhealthy cycles, allowing you to nuture healthier relationships, pursue your goals more intentionally, and show up as your happy authentic self.
