In Your Greatest Moments of Stress There Is Also the Opportunity For Great Change

I have worked as a mental health care professional for over two decades. In that time, I’ve seen many people struggling to figure out why their lives feel so hard, why they can’t just “get over things and get on with life”. Quite often the reason is because it’s nearly impossible to figure it all out on your own. We are social beings, and even the most introverted person still needs human connection. In moments of crisis, that’s when many people finally feel like it’s time to see a therapist - which is where I come in.

In times of great change - therapy can shine a light on the path forward

If you’ve been experiencing big changes in your life, be it moving, a new job, divorce, graduation, retirement, or the loss of a loved one, seeing a therapist may be helpful both during and after these challenging times. I have over 5 years experience working as a therapist, and I’ve lived through many big changes myself! I offer care for people ages 16 and up who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or struggling with their sense of self (feeling like they’ve lost their identity). The main methods I use in sessions are hypnotherapy, gestalt therapy-based approaches, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and client-centered therapy.

You May Feel Like You Have To Prove Your Worth, But You Are Worthy, Just As You Are

As a therapist, I’ve seen so many good people, who believe they are not “good enough”. A big part of my job is helping you to see who you are through a more compassionate set of eyes, to begin trusting your inner voice, and to believe in yourself.

I take a holistic integrative approach to therapy. I recognize that we are all walking our own path, at a different pace, with different ways of getting by. Therapy is about finding what works for you. I utilize various approaches to support your healing, including, EMDR therapy, mindfulness, CBT, and Polyvagal informed approaches. I understand that therapy is just as much as what’s happening in your body as it is your mind. 

I am passionate about trauma and have trained as a Clinical Traumatologist and EMDR therapist. I offer various options to be able to heal and process PTSD and other trauma conditions.  I also provide clinical supervision to other Registered Psychotherapists who are looking to expand their skill set.

Counselling is not about being fixed, it’s about realizing you were never broken to begin with.

You may have inner emotional wounds from past hurts, but you are far from being “broken”. As a therapist, I’ll support you in exploring the areas of life that are causing you discomfort, and we can adjust what’s needed, to ease your pain. I’ve been working in mental health for over 10 years and while I work with a number of approaches, I mainly utilize two forms of trauma therapy with my clients. Both EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are able to help work on the deeper processes that can interrupt your life.

I can help you get to the root of what’s keeping you up at night

Something that doesn’t get talked about enough, when it comes to therapy, is that the simple act of sharing your worries, regrets, and struggles with someone else, out loud, can in itself create great relief.

As a therapist, I offer support for people (ages 13 years and older) struggling with many different challenges, such as regret, shame, anxiety, fears, phobias, grief, big life changes, and learning how to navigate challenging relationships. Much of my job is to listen with both my head, and my heart, to your story. People come to me with big burdens they’ve been carrying, regret about actions, hidden shame about behaviour during a moment of anger, or grief about the loss of a loved one and the way they may have left things.

I’m a Therapist Who Specializes in Trauma-informed Therapy

If you’ve felt misunderstood or dismissed when talking about your pain and stress with friends or even professionals, I want you to know that I will take your struggles seriously. My focus as a therapist is specifically around supporting people with various kinds of trauma, including childhood trauma, abusive relationships, sexual abuse and assault, workplace incidents, narcissistic abuse, trauma from accidents, long term neglect, or single traumatic incidents. I have extensive training in a type of therapy that was designed for trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). This type of therapy has been transformational for many people living with the daily impacts of trauma.

I also have a very special spot in my heart for parents who are doing their best to heal from their pasts while also giving their all to being good caregivers to their children. I am a mother myself (I have a blended multi-racial family with 5 children) and offer therapy for parents. I have taken Gottman parenting training to support parents and caregivers of children and youth.

Your Life May Be Full Of Ups And Downs - Therapy Can Be A Place To Find Peace and Empowerment There is so much about life that is not in your control, but seeing a therapist is a small and important step towards personal empowerment. I believe that people heal people, and that healing comes when you feel you’ve been truly heard, by someone who listens with compassion, understanding, and respect. Human connection, at its deepest level, is about being seen, heard, and understood without judgment.

Therapy Offers Hope For Relief From Anxiety

These days, it isn’t often that you can find the right moment, and a trusted person for you to really relax, speak your truth and feel like you’ve been heard. The thing about therapy is that it is a time just for you. This is true if you’re getting support with your partner for couples therapy, or if you are seeking one on one counselling. Our time together is all about helping your day to day life feel more manageable, and so that you can find more meaning and purpose, in both your relationships and in your inner world.

I support individuals in a variety of different areas including anxiety, work transitions, big life changes (and help during the time you are trying to make choices for the future), depression, motherhood, single parenthood, grief, divorce, and LGBTQ+ issues (I am a staunch ally).

With couples, I help folks who are at all different stages of their relationship. Some people come to me before making a big decision together (this could be cohabitation, marriage, having kids, or merging finances), some come after an infidelity, to work on an ongoing struggle, or to talk about polyamory or different relationship models. I also enjoy supporting people who are navigating co-parenting relationships or who want to separate with mutual respect and compassion.

I work with Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Nunavut residents only.

Living with unresolved trauma can be a burden so large that it colours every aspect of your world. It’s a big step to even recognize (or hope) that life could be different with therapy.

Before I became a psychotherapist, I worked as a Kinesiologist for over a decade. It was from helping people recover from physical injuries, that I became aware of how much the emotional state of a person can influence their health and wellbeing. I saw how depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder could impact a person’s physical recovery from an injury or surgery. I also witnessed that if someone had the right social support, or if their overall mood and outlook on life was relatively balanced, their physical outcomes were often more positive. These observations impacted me deeply, and I realized that I could do more for people in the field of mental health, than working only with the physical side of things. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in a form of therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy which is clinically proven to be especially helpful for those who carry trauma from their past. I also am trained in Existential Therapy, Jungian Counselling, and other evidence based mental health modalities for individuals and couples to offer support for whatever you may be struggling with.

Seeing A Therapist Is a Time to Be Truly Heard and Understood

Being listened to, and actually feeling understood seems to be a rare thing these days. Sitting with a therapist who isn’t distracted and is actively there just for you may feel unusual at first but that’s the thing with therapy, it’s not your everyday experience, it is a time just for you. In our sessions, we start from your current point of need, and together, we look at the challenges you are facing to improve both your inner and outer worlds.

I support individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship issues, and self-esteem/self-confidence. I am here to provide acceptance, curiosity, and fresh insights into what may seem unchangeable in your life. The top mental health modalities I use in sessions are: EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Parts Work (Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed). I am also trained in and may integrate these supports into our sessions if needed: CBT, self-compassion, mindfulness & somatic techniques.

Therapy Can help You Find A New Direction When You’re Feeling Stuck

I’ve been working in the field of mental health for many years and have traveled my own wellness journey too. One thing I’ve noticed is how helpful having an outside perspective can be when you’re feeling stuck. This applies to so many aspects of life, from struggling with unwanted habits and behaviours (from eating disorders to substance use) to trying to rediscover yourself after a big change has happened (like becoming a parent, changing jobs, or graduating). I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and I support people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use, eating disorders, perinatal mental health, and those who are looking for a way forward in life - one with more meaning and purpose.
