I believe people are innately resilient, able to withstand adversity, bounce back from life challenges, and flourish. Being resilient does not mean you will never feel stressed, emotionally overwhelmed or suffer. Being resilient means having the courage to climb the mountain, embracing the journey of vulnerability and having the strength to heal. On the other side of this experience is self-awareness, meaningful connections with others, purpose and improved emotional and physical health.

Welcome! If you've found my profile, you may be experiencing challenges in your life. You might be feeling overwhelmed due to stress, anger, worry, or feeling ‘not good enough’. Maybe you feel flooded by your emotions, or as though ‘something’ has been building inside you for a long time and it’s getting harder to go about your day. Maybe you’re doing things that feel harmful or unhealthy, feeling out of control, or just thinking ‘this’ isn’t how you want life to be. If anything here sounds familiar, I would love to support you in identifying your goals and building a life that is fulfilling, balanced and worth living.

I am qualified to assess, diagnose and treat any mental health disorder.

Parenting isn’t easy and kids and teens don’t come with a handbook. We put high expectations on ourselves to be “good parents” and are often left feeling inadequate and overwhelmed. Kids' behaviour can be baffling and for parents whose child has received a mental health diagnosis wondering "what do we do now" are common. I created Thriving Families Counselling to provide a place in which parents could receive new understanding of their child or teen, explore how their own life experiences have influenced their approach to parenting and for families together to learn new ways to create healthy communication and functioning.

Some seasons of your life can drain you of your resources, protections, and even your identity. It can feel like everything that made you “you” has been stripped away. Therapy can be a space to grieve what once was, and a space to rebuild a life that brings you peace, connection, and joy. I work with individuals facing all manner of life transitions, including students, newcomers, and new parents.

Being a person can be hard. Sometimes we have a clear sense of what is wrong or needs to change, but we don't know how to get there. Other times we feel completely at sea, not even knowing how to name what we are feeling or what we want. There is no right way to approach this work: bring your self and we can work together to sort out the rest. Of course, we do not exist in a vacuum. Our identities, relationships, cultures and beliefs are a part of who we are and impact our experiences. Let's explore who you are, your challenges, what you feel, and what you need to help you to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful to you.

Often taking the first step is the hardest. I offer a private and safe space to explore your needs and struggles. Often we lose sight of our greatest strengths in everyday life. I offer acceptance base therapy and then I help you work towards change. Most of my experience has been in individual therapy. I truly enjoy starting an internal journey with you. Different parts of you come alive in the therapy room. When you know yourself and your different parts it is much easier to cope with life's difficulties.

Trauma, much like a splinter, embeds itself into a person and affects all aspects of life. My primary objective is to create a safe and compassionate therapeutic alliance which facilitates healing and growth. With Trauma, I truly believe that the body holds a great deal of the emotional weight, without us knowing. I witnessed severe difficulties in my community, and as an adult I have grieved many friends who kept their suffering a secret, often until it was too late. I truly believe that every individual innately harbors the right set of tools to achieve their personal goals and find their way to a meaningful, fulfilling life.
