Are you feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you’re juggling the demands of work, caregiving, and managing relationships, and it’s all becoming too much. Perhaps unresolved trauma, PTSD, or even symptoms of ADHD are leaving you feeling confused and exhausted. Stress, burnout, anxiety, and insomnia are taking a toll, and you might feel like you're just making it through. Whether you're in a first responder role, a spouse of one, or simply someone who's struggling to keep it all together, you deserve support, and you don’t have to face this alone.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

It is my honor to sit in the passengers' seat while you control the steering wheel of your life. Despite all the chaos you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are the expert on you. With all that happens, sometimes we lose ourselves and live a life incongruent with our values. Naturally, we start to feel depressed, anxious, angry etc. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals.

Who doesn't want that? If you're feeling like you can't do it on your own anymore, reach out.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you constantly worrying about what you have to do next? Are you having difficulties believing in yourself? Do you feel like you are stuck in life? I have found that these are common concerns that clients experience before accessing psychotherapy. I am here to work with you, at your own pace, to increase your awareness and agency. I believe that the psychotherapy journey begins with being heard, seen, understood, and accepted. From here, self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-growth are inevitable.

Investing in our mental health transforms all aspects of our lives! As a social worker and therapist with ten years of experience, my desire to support people in their healing work is rooted in my passion to cultivate safe, accessible and affirming resources for all of the intersectional identities we hold. I believe that we possess enormous strengths and courage that have guided our footsteps into this present moment. Depression, anxiety, family breakdowns and trauma can deeply impact how we see ourselves. Through therapy we can be better equipped with the capacity to conquer these challenges and live full and wholesome lives.

When I think about therapy, I imagine my client’s search for well-being and healing as if they were lost and trying to find their way home. You might know where home is, but find yourself stuck in darkness, not being able to find your way. As your therapist, I see myself holding the flashlight. You are the one who knows your way to healing, and I have the tools to help get you there easier. This is what I believe therapy looks like; us walking together on your journey. As we travel together to help you find “home”—your place of healing, peace, and comfort—while I share my knowledge and tools to help you find that “home”.

Starting counselling is a brave step. You may already know that you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone but don’t have the tools to cope. Or, maybe you don’t know what’s wrong and would like support to help figure things out. This is where I can provide you with a safe space, patience, acceptance, understanding and care. At your pace, we will figure out what a better life looks like for you. Then, together, we will try to make you feel stronger, safer and more in control. I have experience supporting concerns like relationships, family, identity, self-confidence, anger, grief, career, school, stress, anxiety, depression and more.

I often wonder why there is so much pain and suffering. I realized that what we need is not homeostasis or a tensionless state. Instead, we need the right amount of tension for change, growth, and development to take place. I had the privilege to journey with people facing different aspects of the human condition (suffering, grief, loss, meaninglessness, etc.) I am often amazed by human determination, courage, and strength in the process toward growth and development as they face life challenges. Life is full of challenges and adversity; it would be a privilege to journey with you toward a meaningful and purpose-driven life.
