My ideal client is someone navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship issues, seeking support in managing stress, childhood trauma, or life transitions. They are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions and discover their inner strengths. Their goal is to heal, grow, and regain a sense of control and fulfillment in life. Often, they want guidance in finding clarity and balance, and they're motivated by the desire to build a more authentic and resilient self.

Problems in life can be overwhelming and sometimes everyone needs support. I work with individuals and couples who want to improve communication, learn to disagree productively, deepen intimacy in relationships, and work through grief. Discounted rate for students.

The early years of parenting are wild - the intensity of our emotional experience catches most off guard - we desperately want to get it right with our little people; so the stakes feel high. Conflicts arise as we try to negotiate shifting roles and responsibilities while exhausted, under-supported, and lacking in time to ourselves. So many of us feel incredibly overwhelmed with decision making and day to day life with new babies, and disconnected from our partner because we don't have time, energy or the desire to connect in the ways we used to. It can feel like we are in the deep end, treading water with no end in sight.

Life involves walking through many different seasons. Some seasons are filled with joy and fulfillment, others are filled with pain, suffering, grief, anger, loss, confusion or anxiety. In the harder times the presence of another can make our pain more bearable. Someone coming alongside us can lend us the courage and hope we need to find our way forward. One of my greatest privileges is to meet people where they are at. I desire to create a safe and relational space where you can achieve your best health and well-being. My goal is to listen well, be a source of encouragement and a resource to help you achieve your desired goals.

Making Moments Matter! If you've come across my biography, it's possible that the forces of the universe and the law of attraction are in motion. I genuinely believe, and my experiences have shown me, that there are moments in our lives when we are destined to cross paths and connect with a particular individual. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of being someone who establishes a unique counselling relationship right from day one. This foundation is built on trust, safety, and attunement, setting the stage for a collaborative healing journey. Sometimes we just need someone who “just gets it”.

Our lives consist of cycles; beginnings, endings, transitions, all of which form chains of memories within us. These chains of memories link us to our hearts where our core emotions, wounds and relationships reside. Our hearts catalyze our self-expression and connect us to the worlds around us. My work holds space for the exploration and healing of core wounds and emotional experiences within your chain of memories. In safety, warmth, and anchored in love, together we will re-member what it means to be who you are. Whatever has brought you here, may you find the healing and guidance that aligns with this cycle of your life.

Accepting New Clients in person and virtually. If your relationships are a struggle – I am the person for you. Any kind of relationship—the one with your partner, the one with your child, the one with your parent, coworker, or boss, and most importantly, the one with yourself! Instead of bringing you joy, your relationships leave you feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and empty. You struggle to figure out how to remove the hostility and despair you feel. Your thoughts and feelings turn to negativity, and your self-esteem doesn’t hold you up.

Bird's Nest Listening (Carmen Grant)
Through the activity of play I help children to make sense of difficult life experiences (e.g. divorce, death of a loved one) and navigate the big feelings (e.g. anxiety, anger, sadness) that are often at the root of challenging behaviour. I support children and their caregivers become more able to cope with how they are feeling, develop insight, emotional intelligence and confidence.

Life Changes Therapy: Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or sadness? Facing a health challenge or making a significant life transition can feel overwhelming leading you to worry how you are going to face the future. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may lack energy or time for yourself making you feel irritable, frustrated, angry or guilty. You may think, "I can't do this, I'm not handling this well" causing you to overthink and ruminate which might affect your sleep at night. You may struggle finding meaning and purpose and don't know who to talk to.

Being human is hard. Between stress, responsibilities, and relationships, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Maybe you have also experienced trauma, which confounds the complexities of life even more. If you feel stuck, unmotivated, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, wanting to give up, you are not alone. I have felt this way, and I have experienced trauma and loss, and that is why I am here to help you. If you are ready to strive with resiliency, as opposed to suffering with feelings of fear, guilt, shame, etc., you have found the right place!

Not accepting new clients
Your religion, spirituality, or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

Now Accepting New Clients! You're a woman in your 20s or 30s with ADHD. You struggle with time blindness, impulsivity, difficulty focusing at work, procrastination, rejection sensitivity, and difficulty managing emotions. Maybe you overextend yourself, and a hard time setting boundaries, or have difficulty saying no. Even if you're not diagnosed, you're pretty sure you have it. You've tried tools to help - maybe medication, maybe meditation, maybe time blocking, journaling and self-help books but you still feel stuck. Often this shows up as problems in our closest relationships - be it with friends, partners, family, or at work

We all find life to be a challenge sometimes. Are you struggling with romantic, family, or parenting relationships? Do you not feel understood or heard by your friends and family? Do you have difficulty at work, or with self-esteem and confidence? I am here to help you with all of these issues. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. I know it can be hard to make the first step, but I promise you that seeking help is worth it.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).
