I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and depression. As a solution-focused therapist, I utilize evidence-based techniques to help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns. If you're struggling to find a sense of well-being in your life, you may feel chronically unwell, and disconnected from your core sense of self. You might find yourself relying on unfulfilling coping strategies, or caught in patterns that lead you back to the same point, again and again.

Are you tired of feeling invisible and powerless? Are you tired of hurting, feeling depressed, and hopeless and that you don't matter? Do you long to feel safe and connected? As a result of healing my own childhood trauma from sexual abuse, I now specialise in supporting people, in a trauma informed way, as they navigate the confusion of living with adversities, and trauma. I am passionate about guiding people to a place of living instead of merely surviving. The truth is that our adversities actually become windows to learning how to live magnificently. We are not what was done to us!

Welcome to my practice. My therapeutic intention is to offer a safe and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and known - to explore trust, healing and transformation through the basis of relationship. For over 15 years, I have helped people heal from complex and intergenerational trauma, childhood wounds, attachment and relational disruptions, anxiety, depression and other distressing experiences. I work from a holistic lens, collaboratively exploring your history, family-of-origin, cultural and societal influences, and other aspects of your story to pinpoint the factors and areas that need attention, healing and care.

Are you a lawyer who excels at solving other people's problems but don't know how to begin to solve your own? I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle a legal practice and life. I am a lawyer turned counsellor. I am a mother of two and married to a litigator. I have helped many lawyers and other members of the legal community, and their families, work through mental health challenges. I can help you too.

My approach to counselling is fundamentally about building a genuine relationship characterized by support, care and encouragement. A space where it is safe to speak the truth about what has happened in your life. The kind of relationship that welcomes your whole self to be present, including the parts you don’t like. A place where you are received with compassion and acceptance, no matter how much anguish, confusion, rage, shame or despair you might be feeling. I know from my own experience that this kind of relationship creates the conditions for deep inner healing to occur and holds the potential for profound personal growth.

Therapy can be a daunting experience, kind of like climbing a mountain—you have an upward destination, but may not know exactly how to reach it and it can feel intimidating. As the counsellor hiking alongside you, I am here to provide emotional support when your feet grow cold or tired. I may remind you that you have untapped, inner strengths that you have yet to be made aware of. I may even point out things you can’t see—like an avalanche about to happen or an alternate path you could take. But eventually, on your own, you get better at climbing, and better at appreciating the journey.

“It could be worse,” “At least this isn’t as bad as what (fill in the blank) is going through,” “You’re not tired, you’re lazy,” “I’ve been in worse situations before,” “I’m lucky, I have a roof over my head and food on the table, so stop complaining," “Other people are going through this and making it work, I should be able to, too.” Have you been saying these things to yourself? You’re not the only one. I’ve had clients tell me how they’re feeling and what they’ve been doing that “should” work but hasn’t and they have no idea why or how everyone else is seemingly coping better under the same circumstances.

I specialize in working with adult individuals, especially LGBTQIA+ folks who lead busy and often stressful lives and feel committed to improving their mental health. Maybe you're an allied health professional feeling burnout or a chronic people pleaser who wants to learn to feel more confident saying no. Perhaps you're a deep feeler who wants to make sense of your valuable sensitivity. While my clients may appear to have it together on the outside, internally, they often feel stuck, confused, or disconnected from their authentic selves. When you engage a counsellor, you establish a support team to navigate life's challenges.
