  • Co-Founder, Registered Psychotherapist

    Do you want to make meaningful changes in your life but feel stuck? Perhaps you have difficulty managing emotions or feel overwhelmed with never-ending thoughts. Is substance abuse or other addictions affecting your relationships or career? Maybe you’re feeling isolated, lost, or disconnected in life. Whether you believe you need to create better boundaries, strengthen relationships, heal childhood wounds, or process past trauma, I commend you for starting your journey to healing and change. If this resonates with you, we can start to address these concerns and make collaborative goals. Life doesn’t need to feel so difficult all the time, I would be honoured to support you.

    As a client-centered Registered Psychotherapist, I aim to provide high-quality, evidence-based care that is effective and meets your individual needs. I am committed to providing a genuine, inclusive, safe space to explore and deepen understanding, emphasizing empowerment and empathy. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults experiencing relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and addictions. I have spent several years practicing counselling in a correctional mental health setting for incarcerated individuals so I can help those affected by the criminal justice system relating to trauma, the effects first responders face, and grief and loss. I am here to promote resiliency and strength.

    Ready to start this journey? If you believe we may be a good fit to work together, please feel free to reach out via email or phone for a free 15-minute consultation.
