In therapy, you will explore “what's wrong for you” instead of “what's wrong with you”. There is enormous potential for self-awareness and self-growth with help from a listening, caring, and attuned therapist. I provide Relational Therapy, which holds that there is great potential for healing, growth and change from within a therapeutic relationship. I meet my clients with great respect, as a fellow traveler in the therapeutic journey. My wish is to cultivate a safe space for my clients to experience their emotions and encounter their beliefs about themselves.

Whether you are struggling with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and/ or shame, I am honored to be part of your journey. Regardless of the issue, I value compassion and understanding clients through their own experience, and walking alongside them through their journey while providing clarity and insight.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Being patient, kind, and forgiving of ourselves is not usually something we learned as children. Talk therapy is not advice or guidance: it's learning to hear your own decision-making processes, noticing feelings and what needs your trying to meet, discovering your value systems, and moving forward with small deliberate changes. Together in session we will tailor the work we do to suit your specific concerns. Researching therapists, going to therapy, looking at our least helpful patterns, or deliberating on whether to stay or leave a difficult situation takes courage. I congratulate you.

Everyone's mental health struggles are unique and complex. Seeking help for mental health issues is often a difficult decision to make, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Your mental health challenges can affect every aspect of your life, from your personal relationships to your work or school performance. It can be hard to talk about your experiences with others and that you may feel misunderstood or stigmatized. I want you to know that I am here to listen to you and provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and reclaim your path to a fulfilling life.

Maybe you are looking to get some relief from anxiety, grief, depression, or to heal trauma. Or maybe you are looking to build confidence, strengthen relationships, or explore ways to communicate. I am here to support and provide a kind, compassionate space to explore, find clarity, steady footing and to grow and thrive. I believe that each individual already has the wisdom and knowledge needed for their own well-being and healing. My role as a therapist is to act as a guide along this journey and provide the tools to work with and help one get in touch with the inherently healing force within each individual.

I'm an advanced candidate with the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts offering psychotherapy under supervision. In our talk therapy, we analyze life as a series of processes that mirror the dynamism of our psyche. Discovering this and fresh renewal requires working intensely on the intertwined relationships of the unconscious and conscious, with all their richness and resources while being aware of any biases and pitfalls. In our human limitations and repetitions, acknowledging the change may sometimes require sharing the experience with someone specially trained to walk the journey with you and familiar with the cycle.

I'm a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) supporting adult individuals in navigating life transitions, relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and cultural identity challenges. I also help clients find clarity in their journey of self-discovery, and cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and identity. In our therapeutic relationship, you can expect a safe and welcoming space characterized by warmth, curiosity, and even moments of humour when they can contribute positively to your healing process.

Every obstacle and difficulty has a meaning and function. Let me help you become aware, understand and grow from adversities. Clients often come with a preconceived notion that something is “wrong” with them or their choices. We will work together to understand what makes you "you" and understand your choices and decisions before we decide what you would like to shift or change. I help clients with anxiety, mood disorders, emotion regulation difficulties, psychosis, trauma, self-esteem and attachment issues as well as support people in their careers, including leadership coaching, managing work stress and assertiveness training.

As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about providing compassionate and effective mental health support to those who are facing challenges such as Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, & Stress. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. With a client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with each individual to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. My therapeutic interventions are evidence-based and tailored to promote healing

I specialize in assisting adults who are facing challenges with emotional regulation and intense emotions while adapting to new challenges. My primary goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can openly discuss difficult emotions and explore effective ways to express and manage them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, relationship and identity issues, as well as self-esteem.

Embarking on the path to well-being is a courageous and transformative journey, and I am here to walk alongside you. I am deeply passionate about mental health, and my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to your personal growth. With a person-centered foundation, I integrate techniques from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioural, Solution-Focused, and Strength-Based approaches.

I obtained my doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in psychology. I have 10+ experience teaching university courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. Along with my teaching, I have 20+ years of experience in providing individual and couples therapy. I specialize in depression, and anxiety (panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety). Other areas of clinical interest include: chronic pain/injuries, relationship issues/distress, workplace stress, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem.

I help adult survivors of childhood trauma find relief from the lifelong impact of their childhood hurts. One of the most tremendous ways that trauma impacts us is making a mess of our relationships and emotions. We struggle to feel safe with and to trust others. We may find ourselves bending over backwards for others and getting nothing in return or we're isolated because our attempts to keep ourselves safe have pushed everyone away. Often we feel out of control of our emotions with intense anger, shame, guilt, sadness. Other times we feel numb and struggle to feel them at all. It doesn't have to be this way forever.

Welcome to a brave space where judgment is replaced with acceptance, allowing you to get to know & embrace your authentic self. Here, individuals & partners are invited to truly FEEL, guided by my commitment to fostering understanding, well-being & joy. The rough bits of life were never meant to be faced alone & chances are you already recognize that avoiding your feelings have not been helpful. This is where I come in. I specialize in relationship & individual therapy, supporting you in navigating life's challenges, focusing on decreasing shoulds & shame while amplifying the values that lead to a more fulfilling & joyous life.
