Welcome! I'm Glad You're Here.

‍

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down, you find it difficult to relax, or you feel exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. You might not even be sure what you’re feeling or where to turn for support. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

‍

Having navigated my own struggles with anxiety as a young person, I understand how difficult it can be when anxiety begins to affect your everyday life. This experience, combined with nearly 20 years of frontline work, has shaped my passion for helping others feel more confident, connected, and in control of their lives. I hold a Master of Science in Psychology, specializing in anxiety disorders, and a Master of Social Work (MSW, RSW). My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted just as you are. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you, develop practical tools to manage anxiety and stress, build emotional regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.

‍

I can support people with fears and phobias using systematic desensitization as well as PTSD and OCD with prolonged exposure and response prevention.

‍

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in compassion. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My trauma-informed, client-centred approach looks beyond the question of “What is wrong?” and instead explores “What have you been through, and what do you need to heal and grow?”

‍

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and your treatment should reflect your unique needs, strengths, and preferences. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and EMDR. I also offer creative alternatives, such as Walk ‘N Talk therapy, where we take our sessions outdoors and explore things together while walking in nature. Whether you prefer a more traditional approach or something a little different, we will work together to find what feels right for you.

Supporting Children on Their Journey to Wellness

Being a child isn’t always easy. Growing up comes with big feelings, new experiences, changing relationships, and challenges that can sometimes feel difficult to navigate. When children experience anxiety, trauma, depression, difficulties with attention or behaviour, or challenges related to neurodevelopment, they may need a little extra support to understand their feelings and discover their strengths. I have a special passion for working with children and supporting their emotional well-being. With nearly 20 years of frontline experience working with children of different ages, I understand the importance of meeting each child where they are, building trust at their own pace, and creating an environment where they feel safe enough to explore, learn, and grow.

‍

Children don’t always have the words to explain how they feel, and that’s okay. My child-centred approach uses creativity, play, and each child’s unique interests to help them express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. Whether your child enjoys drawing, playing, creating, building, or exploring, we can use these activities to help them develop coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, build confidence, practise social skills, and develop executive functioning skills.

‍

Every child is different, which is why I tailor therapy to their individual needs, abilities, and strengths. My goal is to help children feel understood and empowered while giving them practical tools they can carry with them as they grow. I also recognize the important role that supportive caregivers play in a child’s well-being and development. Every child deserves to feel safe, capable, and confident in who they are. It would be a privilege to support your child and your family as you navigate challenges and work towards positive change together.
