Too often, people endure their obstacles alone, convinced that they must shoulder their burdens in silence. Whether it’s a child struggling with emotional regulation, a teenager navigating the complexities of anxiety amid life’s changes, or an adult wrestling with depression, everyone can benefit from specialized support at various points in their lives.

My approach to therapy is centered on empathy, collaboration, and autonomy. Together, we work to identify your strengths, confront your challenges, and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals.

By creating a safe space to address your mental health, embracing creative solutions, and fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship, I strive to create lasting positive change in the lives of my clients. Together, we can navigate the journey towards healing, growth, and greater well-being.

The perinatal period is a time of profound vulnerability, shaped by the deep changes in our bodies, emotions, minds, relationships and sense of self. While it can be an incredibly joyful and life-affirming experience, it also brings significant adjustments, uncertainties, and stress.

I offer perinatal mental health therapy for individuals and couples, working collaboratively with you to navigate the complex emotions and challenges that arise during this transformative period. Whether you’re adjusting to new roles, coping with anxiety or mood shifts, or seeking a deeper connection with yourself or your partner(s), I’m here to guide you with warmth, empathy and understanding.

Rooted in anti-oppressive, liberatory, and culturally attuned mental health practices, my approach emphasizes the importance of connectedness and shared humanity. Together, we will foster a brave space where you are free to explore, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and cultivate capacity as you move through this powerful chapter of life.

We are shaped by both nature and nurture, forces often beyond our control that affect us physically and emotionally throughout our lives. Understanding and addressing these influences is essential for personal growth and well-being. Unresolved past issues, present challenges, and future planning can sometimes feel overwhelming.

I use a combination of approaches to understand and address the needs of children, teens and adults. I believe that symptoms and behaviours have underlying causes that may be rooted in the client’s past or current life situation.

My goal is to create a safe space for safe emotional expression and healing. I help clients manage their symptoms while addressing the root of the problem by using a mix of talk therapy, art making and EMDR when necessary.

Many people struggle with trust issues, whether due to past betrayals, financial dishonesty, or other breaches of trust. These challenges can cause emotional pain and create barriers to forming meaningful connections and relationships with others.

I use an integrative approach that combines Experiential Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Experiential therapy involves engaging in meaningful activities and exercises that promote emotional expression and understanding, allowing you to connect with your feelings in a safe space. Meanwhile, CBT addresses negative thought patterns and beliefs contributing to mistrust, helping you to develop practical strategies to improve communication and develop healthier interactions.

By walking with you through healing and self-discovery, I strive to help you rebuild a foundation of trust and mutual respect, fostering stronger and more fulfilling relationships in a safe and supportive environment.

As an individual and couples therapist, I understand the challenges you may face when you feel disconnected from yourself or your partner. Miscommunication, unresolved conflicts, emotional distance, or past traumas can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future of your relationship.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns openly.

Sometimes we feel we are trapped in unfavorable circumstances and life has been unfair to us. You may feel upset, frustrated, and lonely. Finding a solution to a difficult situation seems impossible. There is that small inner voice that whispers “It’s all hopeless”.

We work together to shift the focus from seeing external factors as the primary cause of emotional struggles to realizing that the key to overcoming challenges often lies within ourselves. By exploring inner thoughts and feelings, we can discover new ways to approach and manage difficult situations. This process helps to build a deeper understanding and greater resilience.

My goal is to guide you in truly listening to and understanding yourself on a deeper level. When you make conscious efforts to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, what once seemed hopeless can often reveal solutions. This journey leads to greater self-awareness and a stronger sense of self-worth, allowing you to approach challenges with newfound clarity and confidence.

It’s easy to feel stuck, lonely, or uncertain about how to move forward.

Life’s journey can be fraught with obstacles and challenges, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, or depressed. Anxiety and depression can be deeply intertwined with our relationships, both past and present, especially if we carry lasting emotional scars from traumatic experiences that affect how we relate to others and ourselves. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to explore these experiences, understand their impact, and develop healthier ways of relating.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based treatments to address the complex and interconnected nature of the issues my clients are facing. In our work together we can focus on understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, learning new coping skills and strategies, developing psychological flexibility and acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions. We can address relationship issues and borderline personality traits through learning such skills as emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. I also often integrate mindfulness-based techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, into my work to help my clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress. Clinical hypnotherapy can be used to access the subconscious mind and facilitate positive changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours by processing difficult emotions and memories in a safe and controlled environment.

Through our collaborative work in therapy, you can expect to see significant improvements in various aspects of your life. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the interconnected nature of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with stressors of life or find ourselves disconnected from our feelings. We struggle with self-esteem and are not sure how to become the person we want to be. At times we might feel like giving up on ourselves and our relationships.

My approach to therapy involves creating a safe and empathetic space, conducting a thorough assessment, and collaboratively setting achievable goals with clients struggling with stress, motivation, and feelings of disconnection. Using cognitive-behavioural techniques, emotional focused therapy, and interpersonal skill building, I work to challenge negative thinking, enhance self-esteem, and improve relationships. Regularly assessing progress and adjusting strategies, I collaboratively guide clients towards self-reflection, insight, and the pursuit of meaning and purpose, fostering a transformative therapeutic journey.

I strive to empower my clients to effectively manage stress, enhance self-confidence, and cultivate meaningful connections.

In a world filled with constant pressures and uncertainties, people often find themselves dealing with anxiety, depression, and complicated relationships. Navigating these alone can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and despair.

I offer support to individuals and couples who are seeking to understand themselves better and heal. This process requires courage and guidance, which I am dedicated to providing. I aim to help transform and strengthen your connections and relationships.

Witnessing the transformation of individuals and couples is the heart of my practice. In individual therapy, clients rediscover their inner strength, navigating personal challenges with newfound resilience. For couples, the result is a rekindled connection, a deeper understanding of each other, and ways to navigate the complexities of shared life. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming environment that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship.

Before dedicating myself to psychotherapy, I worked as a lawyer. Although it was a successful and rewarding career, I felt a deep calling to support individuals and couples on a more personal and transformative level. My own experiences of going through significant life changes, including immigrating to Canada, have given me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges that arise from such transitions.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working in various settings, including educational and clinical environments, as well as in private practice. These experiences have allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for the complexity of human experiences and the resilience of the human spirit. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and growth, and I am dedicated to helping you unlock your inner potential.

In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, process past traumas, and develop strategies to cope with anxiety and relationship difficulties. I draw upon evidence-based approaches such as CBT to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, EFT to enhance emotional connections and foster secure relationships, and somatic experiencing to support the integration of mind and body in healing.

I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective, recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. I will listen attentively, validate your experiences, and collaborate with you to develop tailored treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work towards empowering you to create positive changes, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.

I am honored to join you on this transformative journey. If you’re ready to embark on a path of healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. Remember, you are not alone, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
