We all experience challenges and hardships and often forget to show ourselves kindness. Psychotherapy allows clients to share and explore their experiences in a safe space where they can be validated and reminded of their strengths while working towards their individual goals. Every person is different and I strive to respect and honour individuality. I aim to get to know my clients better in order to better support them in achieving their goals and coping with the challenges that life throws at them.

People experience challenges in their lives that are sometimes difficult to work through alone. Together we can make sense of it, and achieve a healthier, happier life. By providing a safe and empathic space, you can explore those challenges currently in your life. My approach to each session is to be with you, through truly listening, providing a judgement-free environment, respectful challenge, and mutual participation throughout the therapeutic process. As a team, you and I will process the emotional, cognitive, physical, familial, and spiritual factors impacting your life, and preventing you from achieving your goals.

You may feel that no matter what you do, it's not enough. You carry a huge weight on your shoulders, which can be overwhelming. It takes courage to face the pain and grief of life's challenges. In my work as an arts-based psychotherapist, I am witness to my clients' courage and resilience on a daily basis. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore one's heart and uncover hidden strengths and resources together. My approach is collaborative, person-centred and trauma-informed. I have worked for over fifteen years supporting clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, family conflict, trauma, and disability.

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.

Navigating the challenges and stressors in our lives can difficult even in the best of times. When you are feeling overwhelmed even the smallest “bumps in the road” can feel like an unmovable mountain. Having a place to talk about those challenges can be incredibly meaningful and it can be the start to developing a healthier relationship with yourself. Therapy provides clients with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions and the chance to (re)discover that we are all meant for belonging, unconditional love, and significance.

A first step in challenging our shame and struggle with self-acceptance can be to take the risk of allowing someone to witness our vulnerability. A counsellor can act as this witness, holding compassion in a safe and non-judgmental space. My counselling style is guided by the principle that we inherently have the inner resources to meet life’s challenges from a place of empowerment. I work from feminist, narrative, anti-oppression, and person-centered frameworks.

Living life to the fullest potential is a choice we make each day. But sometimes, this decision is difficult to honour. You may have found yourself in a tricky situation where you must adopt a new perspective. You could be facing an unprecedented circumstance that demands your growth. Or you could simply be struggling to find meaning in your day-to-day experiences. In these moments, a reminder may be all that you need.

As a therapist, my goal is to assist clients in processing events rather than simply moving past their issues. I believe in encouraging couples, families, and individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and complex trauma to analyze their situations and navigate the difficulties in life. Together, we work on developing tools and strategies to handle difficult emotions and improve overall well-being.

Finding one's self can be difficult to pin down whether you're a person of colour experiencing conflicting values culturally, an individual exploring your sexual identity, unable to balance work/school with life, or otherwise. Coupled that with the stresses of everyday life and things tend to feel overwhelming. You may feel like it's hard to organize your thoughts and feelings or you may even feel like you have nowhere to express yourself.
