Welcome! I have been practicing for over twenty years and feel privileged to work with my clients on improving wellbeing and reducing symptoms (anxiety, negative self-talk, depression, relational issues, impact of trauma). I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based, relational, neuropsychological approach. For example, the majority of us experience anxiety but we can train our brains to work for us (rather than against us). Once you become aware of how your experiences have influenced you, you can make significant, positive changes. I have training in individual, couple, and family therapy as well as trauma-focused therapy.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with children, youth, and families during some of their most difficult life experiences and I am inspired by the incredible strength individuals have. Some periods of life are chaotic, overwhelming, and lonely and no one should have to manage these alone. I primarily work with youth and adults age 14+ and specialize in life stressors, trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety, and mood concerns. I view therapy as a space for strengthening your sense of self, improving relationships, and gaining insight which can help inform the development of coping strategies that work for you.

Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event that has impacted your ability to focus or cope with the everyday? Trauma continues to live in our systems long after the event has happened, sometimes remaining hidden until something triggers it to come to the surface. Trauma can reveal itself in a variety of ways, including physical pain, lead to anxiety, depression, attachment or relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, and can impact our perceptions leading to unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. My clients report a reduction in their symptoms, describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more present.
