At times we feel under a lot of intangible stress, and this creates an imbalance that wears out our normal coping skills. You are not alone. Feeling tired of being tired is the first step in reaching out to achieve and master a proper life balance. A life without the limits of our pre-conditioned and other based negative self talk paradigms. Life does involve more than survival and fighting- it involves joy and happiness. I can help you achieve this transformation.

As humans, we share universal experiences of suffering, pain and loss. We have all experienced events that have shaped who we are.

I meet you as you are and where you’re at – in a supportive and empowering environment.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” —Anaïs Nin I am so glad that you found your way here! It takes admirable courage to take a step towards healing. Sometimes life’s difficulties become more than we can comfortably manage, and we can get stuck in painful patterns of suffering. We may lose sight of ourselves and our capacity for joy. I'm passionate about assisting adults and teens in overcoming daily challenges, healing from traumatic life experiences, and working towards creating a rich, full, and meaningful life.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

I work with individual adults across the lifespan who are interested in holistic mental health. I use mindfulness as a pillar of my practice and strive to embody this and the other Hakomi (Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy) principles of organicity, holism, non-violence, and unity. Embracing the mind-body connection may help facilitate new beginnings and lay a different foundation through noticing patterns, creating new habits, and freeing limiting beliefs. Additional specialized training and interests are in attachment theory (relationships), polyvagal theory (working with the nervous system), and post-traumatic growth and recovery.

Are you no longer able to manage like you used to? Are you dissatisfied in your relationship and feel unsure what to do next? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable? Life can often send challenges our way that we aren't prepared for, which can cause us to feel stuck, scared, and lost. Ultimately, we are all looking to feel at ease in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, satisfied with our lives, and free to be ourselves. Therapy is a chance to step back from the way we have always done things so we can make sense of what is going on around and within us. To reconnect with what matters most in a safe environment.

I am a Registered Psychologist, a Play Therapy Practitioner and the Co-founder of the Institute of Child Psychology. In 2012, I received my Masters of Counselling from City University of Seattle. I have a specialization in play therapy and parent coaching, but work with clients across the life-span. I works primarily from an attachment based perspective. This means that I work with clients to explore how early relationships impact how we come to understand our self, other people, and the world.
