Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.  

I arrive at a career as a therapist in my 40s with a previous background in business and arts as well as personal experience with multicultural issues and an inter-racial marriage. My own experiences provide me with a clearer understanding of and compassion for the struggles clients face.  

You feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt, struggling to trust yourself or move forward. Maybe past wounds linger, creative blocks hold you back, or the pressure to perform—on stage, in relationships, or within yourself—feels exhausting. You may have glimpsed deeper awareness through dreams, meditation, or spirituality but find it hard to integrate. My approach blends Zen, Taoism, and Jungian analysis with mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness to help you uncover unconscious patterns, build self-trust, and reconnect with clarity and purpose. Change isn’t about forcing yourself forward but understanding what holds you back—allowing transformation to happen naturally.

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Arthur Ashe - Although we have likely heard 'time heals all' in my personal journey as a trauma survivor and clinician, I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change .... and finding the right therapist can be the first step in accomplishing your counselling goals! We all need support sometimes...

Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression. My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain. I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires. This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.  

My practice is grounded in self-exploration, relationships, and discovering personal meaning. I work with people who want to better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences. With over 12 years of working in mental health, I can help you understand how your early experiences, significant relationships, and the ways you’ve learned to cope are influencing what’s feeling hard now. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected, we will work together to understand and mange your emotions so you can regain a sense of balance and control.  

I offer a calm, supportive, and intentional approach to therapy where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin responding to life with more clarity and choice. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, confidence, and rebuilding trust in yourself, while gently addressing the deeper habits and experiences that continue to shape your reactions. Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and motivated, yet find themselves repeating familiar emotional or mental patterns despite their best intentions. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of anxiety and self-doubt can be exhausting — especially when you’ve already put effort into change and still don’t feel steady or at ease. This is a collaborative process for those who are ready to engage thoughtfully, reflect between sessions, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.  

Mindfulness has been my personal practice for many years. I personally benefited from mindfulness practice and I hope mindfulness could benefit my clients as well. I realized that mindfulness and experiential techniques have a common core - pay attention to your feelings and bodily sensations - which will be highlighted in my practice. I believe, through building connections with our body, our energy field, and our inner strength, most of our mental health issues could be solved. I enjoy building deep connections with people and this is why I choose to work in this field. I cherish my encounter with each one of my clients.  

I am a certified sex addiction and pornography addiction therapist. My primary area of work is helping individuals struggling with the challenges and resulting complications from sexual and pornography addiction. In addition, I assist the betrayed partners to come to some level of understanding and healing from what they have recently discovered, and been traumatized by. My certification in EMDR trauma therapy is particularly helpful to both the addict and the partner in discovering and healing the current or past issues that may come to the forefront in the therapeutic process. Through consultation in an empathetic counselling relationship I am able to provide therapy for individuals, partners, and couples suffering the consequences of sex and pornography addiction, as well trauma that may or may not be related. I provide in-person or online therapy (through a secure and confidential system).  

Welcome to Mindful With You. This is more than a therapy space — it’s a place where you get to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what feels true to you. Therapy isn’t about rushing or fixing; it’s about walking alongside you at your pace, with curiosity, care, and compassion. Your goals, your pace, your story — this is the motto behind our therapy at Mindful With You. We aim to show up as someone who feels easy to talk to — someone who listens deeply, values your story, and meets you exactly where you are. You dont have to have the right words or know where to start. We’ll figure that out together.  

Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change. My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach. I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful. We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.
