While in psychotherapy, individuals may experience various emotions and insights as they work through their challenges. It is common for people to feel a sense of relief as they begin to understand and process their thoughts and feelings in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.


After psychotherapy, individuals may experience various emotions and insights as they work through their challenges. It is common for people to feel a sense of relief as they begin to understand and process their thoughts and feelings in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Therapy is a journey of self-exploration and reflection, where individuals can better understand themselves, their relationships, and their past experiences. This process allows individuals to uncover patterns of behaviour or thoughts that hold them back or cause distress.


In addition to gaining insight into their own experiences, individuals undergoing psychotherapy may also develop new coping strategies and skills for managing stress, anxiety, or other mental health concerns. This can empower individuals to make positive life changes and improve their well-being.


While the benefits of psychotherapy may not be immediate, they are within reach for those who commit and dedicate themselves to the therapeutic process. This commitment can lead to meaningful growth and transformation in their lives.

By working with a trained psychotherapist, such as myself, individuals can begin to heal from past wounds and develop resilience in the face of adversity.


Overall, psychotherapy can be a valuable and transformative experience for individuals seeking to improve their mental and emotional well-being. Psychotherapy offers a supportive and confidential environment for personal growth, self-discovery, healing, and. transformation. With guidance, as a co-journeyer, individuals can navigate their inner world with greater clarity and compassion, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy, which can guide you toward a path of resilience, self-empowerment, and holistic wellness. Your well-being is my top priority, and together, we navigate the complexities of life within a safe space for healing and growth.


I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), a Canadian Certified Addictions Counsellor (CCAC), a Canadian Certified Telemedicine Addictions Counselling Professional (CCTACP). I am able to provide psychotherapy services across Canada. I offer dedicated support in the following areas:

Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety and stress are common mental health issues that can manifest as feelings of worry, fear, nervousness, or tension in response to perceived threats or challenges.
Anxiety is often characterized by persistent and excessive worry and panic attacks, while stress is a reaction to external pressures or demands. I can help you learn specific ways to empower yourself to better manage your symptoms by cultivating present-moment awareness and developing a non-judgmental acceptance of your thoughts and feelings, reducing anxiety and stress levels.

Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders are a common problem that affects many people around the world. From insomnia to sleep apnea, these conditions can significantly impact an individual's quality of life.

However, psychotherapy is an effective treatment for various sleep disorders. Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and early morning awakening. Psychotherapy can help you identify and address the underlying psychological causes of your insomnia, such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, overstimulation, etc. You can learn to improve your sleep quality and overall well-being by working with me to develop healthy sleep habits and coping strategies.

Adult ADHD

It's important to recognize that ADHD can persist into adulthood and present unique challenges in various areas of life. As a psychotherapist, I can offer support through psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and skill building techniques. By providing information about Adult ADHD and its symptoms, we can better understand the challenges you may be facing and develop self-awareness. CBT can help you manage symptoms by addressing negative thought patterns, improving time management skills, and developing coping strategies for impulsivity and inattention. Additionally, skill-building techniques such as organizational skills, time management, and strategies for improving focus can assist in managing daily tasks and responsibilities. Implementing behaviour modification techniques, such as creating routines and setting achievable goals, can help establish structure and consistency. I will provide a supportive and understanding therapeutic environment, tailor interventions to meet your unique needs and provide practical strategies for managing symptoms. Together, we can improve your overall functioning, enhance your quality of life, and achieve your personal goals. I have a deep understanding of ADHD from both my own personal experiences and specific training that has equipped me with the tools to cope better and lead a happier and healthier life.

Remember that you can learn to implement coping strategies that can significantly impact your daily life by seeking my guidance.

Traumatic experiences such as being physical, verbal or sexual assault, bullied, and other criminal acts memories and flashbacks can evoke intense emotional turmoil, a sense of powerlessness, and even, hopelessness.

Depression is a serious mental health condition that can have a significant impact in your life.

Some common symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness. Other symptoms may include changes in appetite or weight, difficulty sleeping or oversleeping, fatigue or lack of energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, and thoughts of death or suicide. It is important to remember that you might be experiencing depression differently, and not everyone will have all of these symptoms.

Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner Violence & Gaslighting

Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner Violence, and Gaslighting are all forms of abuse that can have devastating effects on you, your children and your pets. Domestic violence refers to any form of abuse that occurs within a household or family setting. Intimate partner violence refers explicitly to abuse that occurs between romantic partners. Gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation in which the abuser makes you doubt your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and memories. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool in helping you, whether you have experienced domestic violence, intimate partner violence, or gaslighting. I can provide a safe space for you to process your experiences, explore your emotions, and develop coping strategies. Through therapy, you can work through trauma, rebuild your self-confidence, and learn healthy relationship skills.

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

A highly sensitive person (HSP) is more sensitive to external stimuli. You might be an HSP if you are more easily overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or strong smells if you are an HSP. You might also experience intense emotions and may have difficulty processing sensory information. Some common symptoms of HSP include feeling easily overwhelmed, being highly empathetic, having a strong reaction to criticism or rejection, and needing time alone to recharge. These individuals may also be more prone to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Psychotherapy can be incredibly beneficial for HSPs; I can help you understand your unique traits and learn coping strategies to manage your sensitivity healthily. I can provide a safe space for you to explore your emotions and work through any past traumas contributing to your sensitivity. A Highly Sensitive Person navigates the world more easily and confidently through psychotherapy. It can empower you to embrace your sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness. If you identify as an HSP, consider contacting me; I specialize in working with sensitive individuals.

Substance Use Disorders

I understand the challenges of dealing with a substance use disorder, including increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, loss of self-control, and persistent use despite adverse consequences. It's important to know that you can break free from these constraints and re-establish a connection with yourself. By familiarizing yourself with treatment options such as harm reduction and complete abstinence approaches, you can begin the journey towards sobriety and purpose. I can provide you with the necessary education on physical, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects, including trigger identification, to help you make informed decisions about your wellbeing. Together, we can create a personalized relapse and recovery plan tailored to your specific needs. There is hpe for a fulfilling life beyond substance use, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Other Addictions

If you find yourself struggling with codependency, sexual addiction, overspending, anger and rage, shopping, excessive Internet use, or gaming, it's important to recognize the impact these behaviors can have on your physical health and mental well-being. These addictive behaviours can consume your thoughts and lead to neglect of your daily responsibilities. You may experience a range of emotions from internal frustration to outward expressions of anger and rage or even emotional numbness. Your addiction may also be taking a toll on your financial stability and academic or job performance. This can cause tension in your relationships and ultimately result in a loss of self-identity and feeling disconnected from your desired self. It's crucial to seek help if you are struggling with any form of addiction. Through psychotherapy, you learn there are ways to overcome these challenges and regain control of your life. Remember, you are not alone in this journey towards recovery.
