Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of August 19th, 2024)! My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.

I believe that no single experience defines us entirely and that we’re all capable of building resilience and fostering change. Whether you're feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward, unmotivated and struggling to feel accomplished, or feeling alone and seeking meaningful change, together we can navigate a compassionate process of untangling the knots to pave the way for longstanding healing and growth.

Are you experiencing dissatisfaction or distress with relationships. Are you feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next? I can help you take the next steps to resolve issues and get the life you want. For most of us, the quality of our relationships has a profound impact on our daily life, level of happiness, and overall well-being. You have a choice to stay with the conflict, anxiety and dissatisfaction you are presently experiencing, or you can choose to have relationships filled with harmony, security and joy.

I know that seeking therapy can at times be difficult and intimidating. It takes courage to explore difficult experiences and emotions. I will always meet you where you are. I strive to provide you with a non-judgmental and compassionate space -- a space that can help you explore and understand yourself, and help you manage your life more effectively. In working together, you will find that my approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centred & trauma-informed. My approach to therapy is grounded in extensive training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Somatic/ Mindfulness-based Psychotherapies.

Life can present challenges that sometimes seem overwhelming. Whether you are struggling with a recent difficulty, an ongoing issue, or a past trauma, it can be helpful to explore ways you can work toward a resolution, personal growth, and achieve a greater sense of well being. I am a registered clinical social worker / psychotherapist providing mental health and trauma / PTSD therapy services. I am EMDR certified and also draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches based on the client's needs.

We practice from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) standpoint. We're less interested in labels or in figuring out what’s “broken”, preferring to work with you to find ways to shift processes to help you with your goals. We have experience in providing both brief and longer-term treatment that is evidence-based (i.e., shown to work). We try to help you within your timeframe. We see the psychologist and client both as “real people”, having “real” conversations, about “real life”, to make real changes that are really important to you.

Sometimes life is difficult, there are times it is challenging and unmanageable and because of this, Psychotherapy can be unlimited support at times of crisis or difficulty in our lives (e.g. stress, relationship break-up, abuse issues, trauma, death and dying, grief, bereavement, work issues).

Accepting NEW patients for phone & video sessions. Asking for support is a courageous first step in managing your mental health & wellness. It is easy to get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns that do not serve us, but we have more control over our thoughts & feelings than it may seem. I can help you take charge of this & your behaviours to live a more fulfilled & happy life. I will work collaboratively with you to set achievable goals that support empowerment, capacity building & resiliency. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to share so we can have authentic & real conversations.

Have you been wishing things felt different? Maybe you haven't felt understood or accepted in your friendships or relationships. Maybe you're going through a breakup, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Or maybe you've been struggling to feel happy, even when things seem to be going well. Do you want to better understand where your emotions are coming from, why they have such a hold on you, and how to feel better? Are you curious to explore your early childhood experiences that influenced how you learned to be in the world, and whether those adaptations are still working for you today?

My practice is dedicated to helping you move towards deepened self-understanding, integrate changes that hold the greatest meaning for you, and establish connections (to oneself, others, & life) that are most reflective of your values. I apply CBT principles within an integrative and strength-based approach to guide practical solutions, self-discovery and empowerment. I hope to bring a warm presence and genuine curiosity to help you build inner-resiliency that closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be (whether relational, personal growth, meaning, trauma healing, depression, anxiety, stressors, transitions).

My practice focusses on adults who are themselves living with high functioning autism and/or HSP and/or ADHD. The sessions provide opportunities to talk in detail about one’s own unique experiences living with ASD or ADHD with someone who gets you. Engaging guided explorations lead to the revelation of blind spots and the discovery of ways to see things from new perspectives. Collaborative development of tailor-made strategies helps with communication, boundary-setting and the management of daily challenges. Sessions are free from judgement and you are supported to work at your own pace.

We all face challenges from time to time. Sometimes, we are able to adequately handle the dilemma by ourselves. Sometimes, though, the problem is much too difficult, and we can use some help. At those times, it is good to know that the kind of help we need is available. It often takes courage to reach for help, particularly to participate in therapy which can feel disruptive and frightening. To be honest, it often is but can be less distressing by compassionate, non-judgmental support. I know it is not easy, but why not call for support anyhow? A safe environment was created just for you. It would be my privilege to help.

I take the stance that each individual has an inner compass that points them in the direction of their own needs and fulfillment. My goal is to improve your quality of life not by altering your inner compass but by working with you to find a pathway out of your suffering toward a life that is more meaningful and true to you. I work with a variety of presenting problems and populations, with a special focus on working with parents of children (of any age) struggling with mental health. I also commonly work with mood, anxiety, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and grief.
