Clients will be able to discover new things about themselves and find new ways to confront any struggles that they may be facing. Through psychotherapy clients often find their strengths and new insights that lead them closer to a fulfilled life.

While I offer many coping strategies for life challenges, it is my passion to help you discover the cause of your anxiety, depression, grief, anger, conflict in relationships. Exploring your past trauma experiences, childhood history and family of origin, you may understand who you are and your responses in a new way. Listening, listing new options and action steps to think and feel differently are part of this counselling process.

I provide a personal and non-judgmental approach to finding solutions. Given my training in various therapeutic modalities (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Motivational Therapy, Solution-Focused, Existential and Humanistic, Gestalt and Family Therapy), I am able to use the "best fit" approach to ensure that you achieve your desired outcome, no matter what problem area (personal, relational, marriage, sex, etc).

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 18 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

Psychotherapy is a powerful space for self-discovery, emotional healing, and long-term change. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about uncovering the parts of you that need compassion, support, and room to grow. At Rooted in Resilience, we tailor therapy to your needs, offering tools to help you understand your thoughts, build emotional resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity. Whether you’re facing stress, trauma, or simply want to know yourself more deeply, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength and truth.

In many cultures, seeking a mentor or counsellor at various times in your life, would be expected and respected. Yet in our culture, we still might feel discomfort about "needing" support from someone outside our family & friends. The people I see are courageous. They choose to use the resources available to improve their quality of life. It's a commitment to yourself and your loved ones that takes time, money and determination. Self-help books can be wonderfully helpful, but something unique and special happens when you meet the right person to bring the principles of unconditional positive regard as well as healing skills to meet you wherever you are.

Psychotherapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing on evidence-based methods like CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and practical coping strategies. The goal is to help you build resilience, improve relationships, and rediscover meaning—empowering you to move forward with confidence and hope.

The ebbs and flows of life are part of the human experience. Cultivating a meaningful life through them can sometimes be a challenge for all of us. No matter your goal, I strive to empower you to develop the meaningful, rich life that you desire. I use integrative, evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic, narrative and strength-based interventions, individualized to your needs. I have over eight years of experience working with children, youth and adults in an array of professional mental health settings. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, procrastination and more.

When you feel overwhelmed by your problems and unable to cope, you may benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy I provide, helps with a range of different challenges: from depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar and low self-esteem to addiction and family conflicts. In the process, you’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way, understand yourself better, your own goals and values, develop skills for improving relationships and overcome specific problems such as eating disorder, depression or phobias among others. I work from a variety of modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution focused, family therapy

There are many things which cause us distress and prevent us from achieving our preferred quality of life. These can include a variety of feelings, thoughts, beliefs, reactions, confusion, past or present situations, etc. You can more easily think about, and choose, your preferred ways of living, by getting clear about what's going on, how you're being affected, and your usual responses. I delight to help in this kind of process: it can be a way of making things which are invisible, visible; things which are unspoken, clear; even things which were un-thought of, possible.

Therapy is a space just for you to pause, reflect, and work through the things that have felt heavy or stuck. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-worth, or just figuring out who you are, we’ll meet you where you’re at. It’s a space to feel supported, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll help you reconnect with yourself and start moving towards the life you want to live.

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focused, experiential, and humanistic approaches.

People come to counselling not because they don't have answers to their problems, people usually know what they should do, but they can't seem to do them. My role as your pschotherapist is less about telling you what to do (which is actually the easier part), I am here to help you clear away some of the junks that stop you from seeing and "doing" the answers. After that, I will help you reach your goal step by step.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

The process of ‘talk therapy’ allows individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive setting. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to process our lived experiences, change negative thought patterns or behaviors, and develop more helpful and healthy coping strategies. It is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and therapist. Therapy can get messy and painful at times however there are rewards when we do the work including, greater freedom, peace and joy.

Talk therapy provides an opportunity to learn skills that will keep the emotional "trash can" empty and help develop a healthy self. Healthy emotions stimulate the human fueling system promoting positive growth, strength to create solutions and manage life challenges. Maintaining a healthy emotional/spiritual system is as important to life as sustaining a healthy heart. The emotional, physcial and spiritual persons are team players in the "game of life". Each player has a specific position in the game of life and is dependant on the other players to score health and wellness. Ignoring any one of these players for too long will affect their ability to score life goals: happiness, peace.

I have a Master of Science Degree in Couples & Family Therapy from the University of Guelph, one of the most prestigious psychotherapy programs in the country. I incorporate various models of therapy into my work, including: Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and more. I value being transparent, authentic, and compassionate.

Many people have ideas about how therapy should look or feel based on what they have seen in movies or tv, and some of those ideas can be scary or intimidating. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and will work collaboratively with you to explore the stories you hold about yourself and the world around you to find meaning, facilitate change, and highlight your strengths and successes. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

In my Psychotherapy practice, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in depth. My approach is client-centered, blending various therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, allowing me to tailor each session to the individual’s needs. Through our work together, clients gain insight into their challenges, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. The goal is to empower clients to heal, grow, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

In addition to finding relief from symptoms such as anxiety and depression, I believe it is also necessary to look at the source of those symptoms. Not doing so would be akin to treating a physical ailment without looking for the cause. It is from this deeper work that lasting change and growth can come. As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I work with people to gain insight, find meaning in their lives, and find more effective ways of being and relating to others. It is through this process that change, growth, and wholeness result. We all want happier, more fulfilling lives. I will help you work toward your goals.
