In life, challenges and hardships are inevitable and at times it is natural to feel completely overwhelmed, as though life’s obstacles are unmanageable.
Currently accepting adult clients and adolescent clients 16 and older. In individual therapy, I work with adults and adolescents experiencing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety and burnout as well as self-esteem difficulties. I aim to create a nonjudgmental, empathic, shame-free therapeutic space where you may feel safe to express yourself fully and to explore challenging thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationships. I am comfortable working with individuals from all socio-cultural backgrounds (i.e. race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation).

To start your journey to a more peaceful and fulfilled life, book your free 20-minute consultation.
Are you feeling stressed or working about too much in your life, or perhaps frustrated and stuck in your personal or work relationships? Perhaps a past negative experience is making you feel unable to move forward. Many people who are struggling with uncertainty have a hard time knowing what direction to go in. It may be that you’ve tried to handle things on your own, or put off reaching out for support because you feel you should be able to work through your challenges by yourself. Sometimes everyone around you seems to have answers, but all you feel is confused. Mostly, you don’t want to let others down and feel that you might.

Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or personal growth, I am committed to helping you navigate life’s challenges.
I work with adults (18+yrs) who are challenged by depression, stress, anxiety, and/or trauma. I am particularly experienced in working with those who are struggling with relationships, poor self-confidence/self-esteem, addiction/substance use recovery, burnout, loss and/or grief, or adjusting to major life transitions (e.g., divorce, career, parenthood, retirement). Being a nurse also makes me uniquely positioned to help support others who work in healthcare. So many of my clients are nurses or other health care professionals who are struggling with work- life balance, burnout, or emotional challenges in their personal lives.

I believe that everyone needs an ear or a caring safe space sometimes. Are you noticing life is not as satisfying, feeling in a rut in your career... relationship... or just life in general? Feeling like maybe a change? Considered couples counseling? If you have answered yes to any of the above it might be time for action!

Feeling anxious, caught in the cycle of people-pleasing or struggling with an eating disorder? Are you disconnected from your true self or struggling with relationships? Childhood trauma can have lasting effects that limit us, impacting our self-esteem, direction, and relationships. If you're navigating the conditioning from emotionally immature or neglectful parents, or if relationships don't feel safe, holistic psychotherapy can be your compass for healing. There's hope for breaking free from old patterns, knowing your true needs and desires, and living a life aligned with your authentic self, not just societal expectations.
