There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you - Maya Angelou. Have you ever found yourself stuck within stressful relationships, triggering environments or confusing emotions? That "stuck" feeling can often lead to stagnation in our day to day lives, and uncertainty about the future. I address these struggles by utilizing a holistic, trauma-informed approach, which incorporates body-oriented, anti-oppression and harm reduction practices. These strategies allow me to focus on the strengths already within each client, while also uncovering past wounds that might be limiting growth.

Emotional pain is difficult and often lonely. False beliefs can be the root of this pain. Shining light on the truth that opens us up to our unique true self and joy can be challenging. For over 24 years I've had the privilege of working with incredible people of varied ethnicities, spiritual beliefs and gender/sexual preferences. My deepest desire is to offer a space without judgement that is collaborative, challenging, compassionate and empowering. I invite each person to uncover and celebrate the purpose and passion of their truest Self. Namaste

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou There are times in all of our lives where we can use support. I recognize the decision to begin therapy can often be a difficult one. It’s hard to ask for help! I believe that therapy is a collaborative approach between the client and the therapist. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you begin to explore your previous trauma, engage in self-exploration, and find true healing. I aim to provide a judgment free zone, where individuals can be their authentic selves.

First and foremost, I commend you for taking the most difficult step in therapy- seeing its value and starting the process. The process can be uncomfortable, and I am here to help you make the process as easy as possible. Right from the beginning, it is going to be important to establish a good relationship in which you feel comfortable opening up and allowing me to get to know you. I do this mainly by asking questions, listening, and putting much care into understanding who you are and what you are saying.

Life is HARD! When we come across and experience stressful, anxiety-provoking, or uncomfortable emotions or situations, they can truly impede the progress we're trying to make in our lives. Issues like OCD, anxiety, feeling down, self-doubt, or struggling with substances can transform our lives into a challenging maze. It's essential to equip ourselves with fresh strategies to confront these hurdles directly and cultivate the courage needed to unleash our inner strengths!

There are few places where we can be fully understood and make sense of our experiences. Life can take us in directions we did not anticipate and we may need a reflective and accepting environment to reconnect to our true selves. I work primarily with adolescents and adults around topics such as single-incident and complex trauma, relationships, addiction recovery, mood disorders, and life transition.
