I have no doubt that at our core, we are all unconditionally good. At times we may feel disconnected from this truth about ourselves or others. As you psychologist, I will provide a confidential and compassionate setting to get you tuned back into your best self.

Psychotherapy is a unique and valuable opportunity to focus on you! I am honored to work with children, adolescents, and adults to overcome challenges in life and to help all of my clients to thrive.

We serve clients by evaluating and treating mental and emotional disorders; as well as other health and behavioral problems within the context of the family system. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups.

I provide evidence-based virtual therapy for trauma and emotional dysregulation. Using approaches like EMDR, DBT, and trauma-focused methods, I teach practical psychological skills to calm emotions, reduce stress, and build healthier, more stable relationships.

At ShiftGrit Psychology & Counselling, we utilize an innovative approach to therapy that removes self-limiting thoughts and behaviours, which leads to great knowledge of self, better, coping, and a more fulfilled life!

“People don’t come to therapy because they have problems, they come because their solutions are no longer working”. My approach is strengths-based, person-centred and non-judgemental. I am warm and nurturing, and will partner with you to pursue your goals.

In my therapy office you will find a relationship of sure steady guidance, sensitivity, trust and humor. I have a lot of training and experience and I don’t let that get in the way of knowing who is sitting in the room with me.

I utilize a variety of techniques (CBT, mindfulness, SFT) to address your concerns and assist in improved self-understanding to help you find meaningful solutions. I strive to create a non-judgemental space and collaborate with you to help achieve your goals.

I am a genuine therapist who believes there is always hope. I provide a safe place for you to share the most important parts of your story, and together we'll find the best path forward towards the life you desire.

Sometimes life seems so hard and overwhelming! It is so much easier when you have a confidential compassionate person to support and encourage you through difficult times. We offer a safe place where you can share openly, and begin to develop faith in yourself.

I believe in the importance of having a safe place to heal, restore, and move forward. I offer clients a place where they feel supported, understood, and empowered to overcome the current life struggles they are facing. Together, we can discover your path to health.
