Obstacles in life may cause us to breakdown; however, when we are ready, this can also allow us to break open, and help us move toward a place of healing and wisdom. Whether you are feeling stuck for reasons beyond your knowing or have encountered unexpected life circumstances, know that you are not alone. To be human, is to experience challenges at various stages of our lives. My goal is to help you navigate these stages and work through the very thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are keeping you from living freely.

I practice from a place of compassion and curiosity and seek to find what is unique about each and every individual whom I support. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and trusting working relationship where you are heard and seen as you are, and where you feel safe to engage in self-exploration.

My practice is grounded in the notion that while we are all whole, the challenges that come from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss among other life stressors, can allow us to lose sight of our wholeness. Through a collabroative approach, we will work together to break through barriers and enter into a place of strength and resilience.

While I work holistically and incorporate techniques from a number of therapeutic modalities, (such as, solution focused therapy, emotion focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy), my practice is rooted in the polyvagal theory, which considers how the mind and body are interconnected. As such, our working relationship will invite you to consider how your body can store past and current stressors and impact your health and wellbeing. With this framework in mind, our goal will be to not only support your cognitive functioning, but also to promote physical wellbeing.

I have over 10 years of experience in supporting individuals, youth and families/caregivers for various mental health challenges. My education includes a Master’s Degree in Counselling as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Counselling Psychology. My passion in this field leaves me committed to lifelong learning, as I regularly engage in training and workshops that will allow me to refine my skills and continue to practice from a place of objectivity.

If my approach and experience may be a good fit for you, please feel free to book a free 20 minute consultation where we can explore how we may best work together!

I look forward to meeting with you.
