I believe you (my client or possible future client) to be the expert in your own life, and I am the passenger on your road to healing. As a passenger, it’s not my place to howl at you to turn left or slow down. But I will keep you company, I will help you navigate, and I will point out stop signs and animals running into the road. Clients I’ve worked with like that I am welcoming, positive, and inviting, and that I understand their stories without judgement.

My current passions are focused on helping people better understand and manage their ADHD, work through trauma at all levels, and navigate body image struggles as well as eating disorders. My interest stems in part from my own journey of getting help for eating disorder treatment and ADHD. I appreciate that although it can be difficult to reach out, I have also personally experienced the relief and confidence that can be gained through a supportive therapeutic relationship. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Practitioner and my approaches focus on Internal Family Systems, Somatics & Poly Vagal, and Emotion-focused therapies.

I see therapy as a safe space to explore our inner worlds while developing an awareness of how the external world impacts us. I seek to support clients in accessing their internal wisdom and sense of self to become more attuned to their needs and live a life more aligned with their hopes and dreams. As a holistic therapist, I recognize the interconnected nature of the mind, body, and soul. My approach to holistic healing and transformation draws inspiration from conventional psychotherapy methods while integrating diverse holistic practices that foster well-being for the mind, body, and soul.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling, and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.

Life can challenge us in ways that leave us feeling overwhelmed and in emotional pain. Sometimes we need help to get back on track. Counselling is an opportunity to feel safe, respected, heard and appreciated for who you really are. It is a place to get perspective on your life, learn coping skills and to explore solutions that work for you.

Reaching out to a complete stranger to share your deepest fears and issues can be overwhelming, and I want to start off by congratulating you on taking that first step towards positive change and healing. Whether you want to improve your relationships, manage your thoughts, mood and stress, set and meet new goals, gain clarity and insight, or move through a life transition, engaging in therapy can be helpful. I am known for having a kind, non-judgmental and compassionate approach, while providing you with the necessary resources and life-long skills for you to apply on your own long after therapy has ended.

Accepting New Clients - No waitlist - Trauma, depression, and other mental health issues can often cause individuals to become "stuck" leading to feelings of resignation or hopelessness. It can often feel like the individual is at the bottom of a well which keeps getting deeper, with the light out feeling further and further out of reach. It can lead individuals to believe that there is no path forwards, or that any path forward is one devoid of meaning or fulfillment.

Are you experiencing chronic pain, illness or anxiety? Are you a first responder trying to cope with flashbacks, nightmares and panic as a result of constant exposure to trauma? Are you looking for something more than standard talk therapy? You may think “my stuff isn't as bad as the next person”, however, our struggles aren’t measured by the event(s), they are based on our unique lens, physical reactions and experience. Feelings of numbness, shame, and anger are all perfectly valid reactions to any painful experience. Early intervention is key to avoiding longterm damage. Lets work together to get you the relief you deserve.

It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience. However, you're no longer that child and feel just surviving isn't enough, but the past won't let you move on—your suffering is not your fault. What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

When life gives you lemons you don't HAVE to make lemonade - you can also reach out to me! I know how challenging it can be to find meaning in the world today in ways that align with our values, especially when the relationships, activities and places that anchor us break down. I'm familiar with how grief and isolation can sometimes follow, and how profoundly hurt can separate us from ourselves when left untended. After 10 years of community-based work, I get it; I've been there. It's why I feel strongly about creating a space where you don't have to have all the answers, and where you have room to be your full self.
