Do you have a difficult time looking at yourself with compassion and acceptance because the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe it’s reacting with anger and defensiveness, or isolation and shutting down. Maybe it’s feeling like you are not smart enough. attractive enough, or simply not enough. Either way, you are left feeling ashamed of who you are. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and now look at yourself in a positive light. Beginning therapy is nerve-wracking, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep breath) to reach out!

What if I told you that how we react has intention and purpose? I know you might be skeptical, but what we now label as unhealthy, was likely useful when facing stress. Together, we can explore how to lean into your emotions and use them as tools, allowing you to find a greater sense of control and confidence.

I have 7 years of experience working in community/private mental health settings with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. When meeting with me, you will be met with compassion, a relaxed approach, and encouragement to express your concerns in any way that feels comfortable; laughter, swearing, and crying are all welcome.

My approach aims to help my clients find the balance between compassion and accountability. While I believe that every emotion deserves validation, I may also question thoughts and behaviours. Through these honest conversations, I find my clients are able to learn how to challenge their thoughts while reducing shame and frustration.
