Accepting NEW Clients - I am licenced in Ontario and engaging in psychotherapy with clients for over 7 years. My strength is in life-stage, identity, and relational issues; as well as depression and trauma. Through using verbal and non-verbal explorations of somatic emotions, we might uncover early childhood experiences outside of your awareness which impact your present behaviour and mental well-being. Our overall goal is to gradually re-establish balance and well-being to reduce anxiety, depression, and aimlessness. By providing a safe therapeutic space, you and I will have a place to put the pieces of a puzzled life together.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded on the belief that all people carry inherent worth and value. I take a holistic view of clients, people are multidimensional, and every aspect, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual, play a role in subjective well-being. I rely upon the perspective that clients are the experts of their lives, which is invaluable in tailoring my approach specific to you. I believe strongly that no one has a monopoly on normality. The nuanced approach I take for every client is rooted in my belief that every person is unique and deserves an approach tailored specifically to them.

Are you a young adult or adult who is experiencing depression and anxiety? I am here for you! It is inevitable that at some points in our life we will become discouraged. We find ourselves stuck in situations we never asked for with expectations that we can’t meet. There is nothing wrong with you. Life is difficult at times. Walk with me as we explore the beauty of our emotions - difficult ones included - and appreciate how through understanding them more deeply we can transform our lives for the better.

As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.

Being a person can be confusing. 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 important to you.

Do you have reoccurring memories of unpleasant and distressing times from your past? Do you think you “should have” gotten over it a long time ago? Maybe you find yourself being reactive and struggle to calm down? Are you triggered by everyday experiences and become stressed by things others seem to be unbothered by? Maybe you are struggling with a negative inner voice, self sabotaging and struggling in a battle of what you know, versus how you feel. These are all symptoms of trauma. I use a combination of EMDR, trigger reduction techniques, education to help you understand what is happening, and tools to support you while you heal.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or a heightened sense of pressure to maintain your responsibilities, relationships, and friends can take a toll on your mental health. Sometimes, this feels like anxiety and/or depression, which often manifest as fatigue, a lack of motivation, or avoidance. Or maybe you push yourself in the other direction: over-achieving, holding yourself to impossible standards, perfectionism, and a chronically busy schedule. We all have challenging periods in life, but you don't have to navigate them alone.

Waitlist for new clients
As a new parent, you’re realizing that your mental health is in need of an overhaul. Things that you were able to push away, distract, or rationalize keep coming up back up (e.g. the birth trauma, your own childhood experiences, your prickly relationships). These painful reminders stop you from feeling fully present with your child. You’re distracted, triggered, and quickly overwhelmed. You want to begin parenting the right way, and that means finally addressing these emotional blocks. You want to feel more in control and like yourself again.

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.
