Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma, Childhood Emotional Neglect, and the Exhaustion of Holding It All Together. ​ I work with adults online across Ontario using somatic, relational, and expressive approaches to help you reconnect with your nervous system, your emotions, and the parts of yourself that had to go offline for survival. Over time, the work can support a steadier relationship with your body and your feelings. Many people find that as the old survival patterns soften, there is more room to feel and a slow return of aliveness.  

Life can be challenging and sometimes everywhere we turn we find hardships, isolation, misunderstanding, and frustration with multiple obstacles in our path and no solutions in sight. I am available to help you work through this. I am here to truly listen with compassion, understand you, and support you. We can work together to find you relief from what you are experiencing. In sessions with me you will experience warmth, empathy, a nonjudgmental and safe environment. In my client-centered approach I focus on building trust while showing you unconditional acceptance and care. We will collaborate together in partnership to increase insight, learn adaptive skills, and foster your growth to help you make healthy changes in your life. My approach is eclectic as I fully appreciate your uniqueness, your lifestyle, history, culture, and worldview, and seek to tailor therapy to best suit your individuality. Most importantly I want you to know that I care about your life, health, happiness, and overcoming your struggles. So, reach out when you're ready and we will walk together on your mental health journey towards healing and wellness.  

I’m a trauma-informed coach who supports ADHDers move forward from a space of shame, overwhelm, and people-pleasing to a more grounded connection with themselves and others. In my work, I weave together nervous-system regulation, body-based awareness, and practical tools for communication, boundaries, and executive functioning. I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where I meet you where you’re at, honour your pacing, and support you in exploring small, sustainable shifts that create meaningful change.  

It takes courage to reach out for help, and I want you to know that in our space and time together, you can be yourself. You can talk about difficult things and know that I will always listen with empathy, listen with an open mind and do my best to understanding you. I offer respectful, kind, non-judgemental and insightful psychotherapy; drawing on my many years of clinical experience, in-depth training and clinical orientation. If you are struggling with anxiety (specific fears and phobias, OCD, social and generalized) , depression, grief, loss, relationship difficulties, feeling stuck, low mood, adjustment problems or feeling lost and struggling to create meaning in your life, I can help you. Please reach out; I look forward to exploring and offering you tools to help you to reach your therapy goals.

I’m warm, compassionate, and yes — sometimes direct. I know the journey toward growth and healing isn’t simple — it can be messy, confusing, joyful, and painful all at once — but you don’t have to walk it alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, trying to figure out relationships, or recovering from trauma — I’m here to help you uncover your strength, understand your story, and move toward the life you hope for. I integrate a variety of therapeutic tools so that together, we find what works best for you. Your pace, your voice, your healing. If you’re ready to be seen, heard, and supported — I’m ready too.  

As a therapist, I'm all about empathy and connection. Picture our sessions as a cozy, judgment-free zone where you can open up about anything on your mind. Together, we'll dive into your story, uncovering your unique strengths and tackling life's twists and turns with a big dose of compassion and resilience. It's a journey we'll walk side by side, with understanding and trust lighting the way.

My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on scienced-backed approaches, and am dedicated to meeting you wherever you are in your unique journey. Together we tailor the approach to meet your specific needs, integrating research-based, ethical, and well established interventions, in a space that is non-judgmental, supportive, and flexible to suit your life circumstances. My approach also emphasizes collaboration with my clients. I am here to listen and learn about your strengths, struggles, and the intricacies of your situation.

My role is to guide you towards healing and growth, helping you develop new ways of relating to both yourself and others.  

I believe that healing is a creative and embodied process. As an expressive arts and somatic therapist, I am guided by the understanding that our bodies, emotions, and imaginations hold profound wisdom. In my work, I invite movement, image, sound, and story to help people discover new pathways to resilience, connection, and self-understanding. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I support clients in tuning into the signals of their bodies, exploring their inner landscapes, and expressing what may be difficult to put into words. I see therapy as a space where what has been held can be released, where identity can be reclaimed, and where the nervous system can finally exhale. Whether someone is navigating trauma, stress, transition, or a longing for deeper authenticity, I strive to create a space where their whole being is welcomed. My intention is always to help others reconnect with their innate aliveness, creativity, and capacity for healing.  

I offer secure, compassionate therapy for individuals, couples, and families seeking support through life’s challenges. As both a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Marriage & Family Therapist, I specialize in helping clients strengthen relationships, navigate emotional struggles, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a strong focus on fostering connection, resilience, and personal growth.  

Whether you’re hoping to repair relationship strain, deepen emotional connection, manage ADHD-related challenges, or heal from experiences that still feel close to the surface, I’ll work collaboratively with you toward stronger, healthier relationships, both with yourself and others. If this feels like the right next step, I’d be happy to connect with you through a consultation.  

Anxiety, stress and low self esteem can leave you feeling out of control and hopeless. You may be trying your hardest to push through these emotions but are constantly feeling unworthy and defeated. Remember, you don’t have to face these feelings alone! Having someone that supports and understands you can make all the difference on your journey to healing. By taking small, compassionate steps, you can begin to regain a sense of balance and hope for the future. We can work together to help you find purpose and build effective coping skills and tools to provide you with relief and lasting change.  

Are you struggling with a challenge that you haven't been able to resolve on your own? I help clients struggling with relationship issues, dating difficulties, marital discord, and step family adjustment. I see clients for couples, family, and individual therapy and help them find their way out of their stuck place. When our relationships are struggling, we become predisposed to both physical and emotional difficulties. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based approach, which provides us with a map and helps us understand ourselves and others better.  

(ENGLISH BELOW) Je suis convaincue que le meilleur levier pour le bien-être d’un ado est une mère qui se sent en sécurité et outillée. Trop souvent, on s’épuise à essayer de contrôler l’incontrôlable. Je le sais, je l’ai vécu. Ma mission est de normaliser vos réactions : ce n’est pas un manque de volonté, c’est votre système nerveux qui réagit au stress. Formée à l’approche polyvagale, je vous offre un espace pour calmer cette réponse de "survie" et retrouver votre clarté. En stabilisant votre propre boussole, vous ne faites pas que traverser l'adolescence : vous transformez durablement la dynamique familiale. ENGLISH: I believe the most powerful tool for a teen’s well-being is a mother who feels grounded and safe. Too often, we exhaust ourselves trying to control the uncontrollable—I understand, I’ve been there. My mission is to normalize your experience: your reactive moments aren't a failure, they are your nervous system responding to stress. As a Polyvagal-informed Social Worker, I provide a space to soothe that 'survival mode' and regain your clarity. By stabilizing your internal compass, you don’t just survive the teen years—you transform the entire family dynamic from the inside out.  

I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I know the challenges of wanting so desperately to change but being unable to do so. I also know the constant mind chatter that plagues people who want to improve their health but just can't seem to do so. As a therapist, I take these issues and challenges very seriously, and work with clients to successfully find ways to manage their weight and health. I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help! Finally, I absolutely love what I do, and I hope it shows in every session that I have with my clients.  

If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating, anxiety, conflict, disconnection, shame, or trauma reactions that won’t let go, you’re not alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want life to feel steadier, relationships to feel safer, and emotions to feel more manageable. My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on helping you feel heard, respected, and supported while we build practical steps toward change.  

Feeling a little lost? It is rare to find a person alive today who has NOT found their life circumstances or perspective altered in these recent years! I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT) with Masters Degrees in both Counselling Psychology and Spiritual Care committed to assisting clients attain a fresh sense of life purpose and peace.  

I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.  

I believe that with the right support, we can become more centered, resourceful, balanced, and confident. We can improve our ability to be more accountable for our lives, our choices, and our relationships. We can build the skills and tools needed to help us focus our energy and time on what truly matters, including ourselves. We can have the freedom to choose how we want to be in the world and it can authentically come from a place of vitality, wisdom, and generosity of spirit.  

*Accepting New Clients* I believe therapy is a sacred space that offers clients the opportunity to take a pause from the constant distractions presented in life in order to engage and reflect on our inner and outer worlds. I am committed to ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and respected, and that our conversations lead to unique transformations achieved through empowerment. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.
