Are you tired of going down "Memory Lane" only to come back to "Stuck Avenue"? We've all heard "just let it go" or "get over it" and "the past is the past". If only it was that simple! The truth is, letting go and moving forward often requires a lot of mental and physical energy that sometimes we just don't have. It means waking up and pretending that you are living your best life when in reality you feel defeated. If this is you, I am here to help get rid of the excess baggage that causes pain, trauma, and fears in your day to day life. Let's stop existing and live! Together, let's Create Happiness and Restore Trust (CHART).

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about self, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Life can sometimes feel difficult and overwhelming, whether you are managing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, or relationship issues. I am committed to providing a nonjudgmental environment where we can discuss both external and internal conflicts and find solutions. By building trust and mutual respect through a person-centered approach that encourages collaboration, I can tailor our therapy sessions to suit your unique needs. I aim to create a supportive and safe atmosphere where you can openly and curiously engage in the therapeutic process.

As a therapist that is trained in a Health Psychology / Behavioral Medicine emphasis, I encourage us to look at how our mind / body / and spirituality are all interconnected. Where as I may pull from varying schools of thought such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive/Behavioural, Humanistic/Person Centred, and Existentialism I find that looking at how these experiences effect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can give us insight into how we can become more wholly integrated and mentally healthy along our journey.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients to confidently navigate life's challenges. I believe in the incredible resilience of the human spirit, and sometimes, all it takes is a bit of guidance to unlock that strength. Healing flourishes in a safe and supportive relationship, where you're encouraged to take new risks and embrace change.
