There are many good reasons to seek the help of a psychotherapist -- feeling distressed, low or depressed, difficulties in personal or work relationships, the loss of a family member/someone close to you, and many others. Life’s challenges can leave you feeling “stuck”, overwhelmed, not knowing which way to turn, or question your ability to cope with life's ups and downs. I focus on helping clients gain a deeper understanding of how they make sense of the world and those around them. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that inform decision making and actions, and provide support and guidance in creating positive and lasting changes.

There are valid reasons behind your behaviour and emotions. We function best in an environment where we feel safe, loved and valued and can develop healthy relationships and a positive sense of self. We can then better explore life from a position of mental and emotional well-being. Perhaps this has not been your experience. Trauma and distress can affect your feelings and behaviour. The hurt may have left you feeling unsafe, devalued and negative towards yourself. You may struggle with poor coping options that have caused harm and suffering to yourself and those around you. You might be finding it difficult to navigate life.

As a clinical psychologist focusing on assessment for adults, I understand the importance of providing thorough and accurate evaluations to support individuals in their mental health journey. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each client receives personalized care. Every individual has a unique story and set of experiences that shape their mental health concerns. By taking a holistic view of each client's background, symptoms, and goals, I strive to offer comprehensive assessments that address not only their current challenges but also their underlying needs and strengths.

Throughout life we necessarily craft intricate maps for moving through the systems that shape our world, expertly guiding ourselves through the ups and downs of ambiguity, trauma, unpredictability, and change. But what happens when our comprehensive structures stop serving us? And how do we move forward when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with our trusted narratives and methods is an unfamiliar and exhausting experience, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that feel dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of fear and shame.

I specialize in helping people who are struggling with addiction issues and/or anxiety and mood disorders. I really enjoy working with ‘stuck’ clients. Those people who know they want or need change but aren’t sure how to get there. You are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. You might be feeling a little lost though. Let me serve as a guide to walk with you and show you some possible ways out. You don't need to commit to any long term therapy or all the 'what ifs' at this point. All you need to do is reach out and make that first connection. Let's have a conversation about what's going on.

I know what it's like to need support and not be sure how to access it. It can be overwhelming to reach out for help, to meet someone new and find the words to express what you are feeling. Currently many of my clients are struggling with exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. Many are navigating difficult situations in school, work or with family and friends. I see many autistic and neurodivergent and LGBTQIA individuals who cannot get the right support. I am happy to offer a free 20 minute consult to see if we are a fit. Currently working at Act Learning Centre and am on the External Provider List for National Defense.

Everyone experiences challenges at one point in their lives or can feel overwhelmed by an ongoing issue, and we all have our own lessons to learn. Seeking help and support is often the first steps towards feeling better and recovery; however, it can be hard to know how to start or where to turn to. It can be strangely intimate to be open about mental health struggles, but having even one person to talk to can be an enormous relief. I provide a safe, warm, and inclusive environment helping people overcome such challenges and work towards a resolution and personal growth.
