As a social worker/psychotherapist, I have 14 years of extensive clinical practice supporting individuals who have endured past and present traumatic and hurtful life experiences. I guide individuals out of painful emotions, thoughts, and somatic reactions by creatively combining therapies and techniques like EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, brainspotting, deep brain reorienting, and other interventions that heal distressing cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns.

Does it feel like intrusive thoughts are overtaking your world? Are these thoughts sometimes strange and unusual to your character, or do they go against your values? Are you engaging in mental or physical activities to relieve the feelings of distress or discomfort you may be experiencing? Maybe these activities are completed to avoid what feels like an irresistible urge. Are you looking to regain your day-to-day life and learn how to live well with OCD? Or maybe you are looking to address life impacting behaviours such as; skin picking, hair pulling, or tics.

All of our children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent/caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodivergent children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.

"Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?" - Rumi. Psychological suffering can be, at times, unbearable. If you or your loved one go through existential crisis or mental health challenges, I offer wisdom born of life's pain and experience from witnessing courage, transformation and adaptability in human suffering. I draw upon years of experience providing psycho-spiritual support in in-patient mental health and mental health clinics and providing spiritual/emotional support to the sick and dying in acute care. I use an integrative approach (Spiritual/Biological) when working with psychological suffering.

There is a lot going on in our lives. Between work and school, family and friends, it can be difficult to balance everything. With mental health and substance use issues affecting our lives, it can be difficult to find any balance at all. Maybe you have goals, but you are not sure how to achieve them. Perhaps you want to maintain and improve your relationships with family, friends, and intimate partners. Or maybe you are anxious or depressed and you want to learn how to cope with or overcome these issues.

It's time to feel and see how powerful you are. I help women overcome self-defeating and worrisome thoughts and live a calm and fulfilling life. Stress and trauma affects how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and/or addiction. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing various modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life.

Now also registered in and accepting clients in New Brunswick! Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families find effective solutions that are unique to the individual and best address their needs. My goal is to help my clients find healthy ways to cope with, learn from, and even grow from the challenges they experience in life. Most satisfying for me is when clients begin to view themselves and their circumstances from a place of strength and empowerment, ready to make necessary changes leading to unprecedented growth and success.

In the years I've been practising as a psychotherapist, I've learned the importance of developing a deep understanding of my clients and their struggles. I have eventually come to understand that this means I should strictly limit the number of clients I support. Rather than seek out as many clients as possible, I focus on a few clients in a deep and meaningful way. I am able to recall important details to make impactful connections across sessions because my focus is on a relatively small group of clients. Difficult times are inevitable. We all experience them and can sometimes use extra support.

Are you, your child/ teenager or spouse having difficulties? Going through a separation and divorce? Life is filled with struggles that at times we need assistance with. Taking that first step to ask for assistance can be extremely difficult. I am a registered social worker with over twenty-five (25) years of experience working with children, youth, adults, couples and families in the field of family dynamics, trauma, grief and mental health. I operate from a client centered strengths-based approach where we can work through things collaboratively.

As human beings, we have a natural craving for connection, and when that connection is not found within and/or found outside, it can create a disconnect, and prompt various ways of thinking, feeling, and being. My quick analogy goes something like this... Life starts off as a blank book that we, and the world, begin to fill. It can be a beautiful collaboration, but it can also feel quite messy when trying to differentiate between your voice and all of the other interpretations. In this process, we will explore your book, and find your voice, making meaningful connections that start from within.

Hello! I'm a Social Worker passionate about helping individuals seeking support on their mental health journey. I'm not sure what brings you here, but for many of my clients, it is a desire to change how they feel about their daily lives. At times, they may be struggling with thoughts about themselves, others, and/or their lives in general. They may feel fearful, depressed, anxious, ashamed, stuck, and/or the desire to please people with little regard for themselves. They, at times, feel responsible for everyone else's problems, which leads to exhaustion and a sense of failure. They may experience triggers and don't understand why.
