Hi there and welcome to my practice! I specialize in working with women, children and youth from an evidence-based, empathetic and down-to-earth approach. My goal is to foster an environment of safety and openness where we can work together on one or multiple issues. I primarily focus on "parts" work. That means learning about the different parts of ourselves, including those that are stuck, hurt or reactive, in order to facilitate healing and respond to situations from a place of calm, compassion and confidence. I also believe in the benefits of humour and laughter, and allowing space for it in session!

To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement, and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

There are many good reasons to seek the help of a psychotherapist -- feeling distressed, low or depressed, difficulties in personal or work relationships, the loss of a family member/someone close to you, and many others. Life’s challenges can leave you feeling “stuck”, overwhelmed, not knowing which way to turn, or question your ability to cope with life's ups and downs. I focus on helping clients gain a deeper understanding of how they make sense of the world and those around them. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that inform decision making and actions, and provide support and guidance in creating positive and lasting changes.

Since 2009, I have enjoyed working with individuals who are experiencing conflict in their relationships (with others or within themselves), and those struggling with either overwhelming emotions or with feeling disconnected from them. I support clients in healing from traumatic life experiences, including abuse and neglect. I particularly enjoy helping men become better attuned to their emotional experience and develop more satisfying connections with others. I offer a compassionate, authentic space to explore the relationship ruptures, health complaints, and difficult emotions that contribute to your presenting concern.

As human beings, we encounter many difficult and challenging times in our lives. Taking that very first step into seeking help and healing is by far the hardest to do, however, it also suggests that you may be ready to do the necessary work. It is amazing to witness the ability of individuals to make big or small changes in their lives, all while exploring parts of themselves that they may not have known existed. Hence, I would be honored to be part of this journey and appreciative of each step taken to achieve your goals all while helping you live a better life.

My practice is dedicated to helping you move towards deepened self-understanding, integrate changes that hold the greatest meaning for you, and establish connections (to oneself, others, & life) that are most reflective of your values. I apply CBT principles within an integrative and strength-based approach to guide practical solutions, self-discovery and empowerment. I hope to bring a warm presence and genuine curiosity to help you build inner-resiliency that closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be (whether relational, personal growth, meaning, trauma healing, depression, anxiety, stressors, transitions).

“Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.” Our lives may be marked by unpredictability, pain, and hardships. Consequently, it is only human to avoid pain. Unfortunately, this avoidance may also have had the unintended consequence of prolonging our suffering. But our challenges do not need to burden us forever. Whatever brought you to seek psychotherapy - you have taken a brave step towards change. I would like to affirm your well-being and growth.

Some difficulties are quick to arise and be resolved, other problems can persist for quite some time. You have probably tried to resolve your situation by yourself or with the help of family or friends. Often that is enough and life goes on. But some mental health issues are trickier to resolve and professional help can be useful. I've seen many individuals meet their goals through hard work and guidance and I'm happy to offer my services to you as well. I welcome individuals of all cultures, communities and identities. I fluently speak English and French.

I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and couples who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively. As someone who focuses on this area of feelings work I have developed strong skills working with anxiety, BPD, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as these areas are often interconnected. Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and (at least a little bit) funny.

The weight of our experiences, choices, and life circumstances can get heavy at times. During these periods it can be difficult to see outside of our pain, to choose an alternate path, or to create meaning. In therapy, I work with adults, who are struggling with common issues such as: depressed mood, anxiety, stress, self-criticism, feeling disconnected, relationship dissatisfaction, and parenting issues. I will work with you to explore ways for you to feel more confident in your choices, as well as connected to yourself and the important people in your life.
The weight of our experiences, choices, and life circumstances can get heavy at times. During these periods it can be difficult to see outside of our pain, to choose an alternate path, or to create meaning. In therapy, I work with adults, who are struggling with common issues such as: depressed mood, anxiety, stress, self-criticism, feeling disconnected, relationship dissatisfaction, and parenting issues. I will work with you to explore ways for you to feel more confident in your choices, as well as connected to yourself and the important people in your life.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment.
My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

Hello and welcome! I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands the complex task of understanding your own needs. I work from a gentle and curious stance, aware that each person brings with them a unique history, identity and experience that deserves a safe space to unpack and explore. I have a strong interest in the areas of anxiety, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism), attachment and relational trauma, life transitions, stress management, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem, and social justice issues. I understand how challenging and freeing it can be to process your identity, and that it is not always a linear path.
