Life can be tough. Sometimes this causes you experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. Perhaps you feel depressed, angry, stuck, sad, unsatisfied or anxious; perhaps addictive patterns or other self-destructive behaviours are wearing you down and disrupting your life. Maybe the way that you have always dealt with things is no longer working. Sometimes you might reach out for support simply because you need an unbiased person to talk to or have a nagging feeling that something is just not right and could be better.

With a high interest in child mental health, I have dedicated my practice to helping children and teens develop the skills and connections they need to flourish. My practice is built on two major beliefs: (1) that children do well when they can (or have the skills to) and (2) that children blossom when they have strong connections with their caregiver(s). Through this lens, common issues such as those related to ADHD, autism, anxiety/panic, school, peer relationships, identity-exploration, behaviour, emotional-regulation, grief, and self-esteem can be overcome by fostering the necessary skills and parent-child connections to thrive.

It is so easy to lose True North when the storms of life blow. Sometimes you need a better compass, map, keel, or captain to guide the battered vessel toward a safe harbour, or even guide you toward a new continent. On this grand voyage called life, winds of depression, anxiety, trauma, aimlessness, or uncertainty can threaten your capacity to cope. Knowing there is a deep current ever guiding you helps restore your resilience. This deep inner work will better equip you to read patterns and ride out the storms.

Life is full of change- some changes lead to feelings of excitement or relief, others may leave us feeling frightened, sad, or overwhelmed.

I am a Clinical, Rehabilitation, and Neuro-Psychologist registered to offer assessment and therapy services to adults and older adults in Ontario. I aim to offer a warm, collaborative, open space to support individuals as they navigate change, cope with stressors, and optimize mental health.

Are feeling overwhelmed right now? Are you wondering if you are "burning out?" Do you feel like there is no "work life balance?". Chronic stress and exhaustion, can have an impact on us. Over time, these emotions can cause symptoms of anxiety and depression to become more profound and it can start to impact our loved ones as well. Our quality of life can diminish, and we can reach a point where we really need help. I want you to know that your are not alone, and having courage to admit that you need support is a big deal.
