About Me.

I am a Registered Therapist, Certified Addictions Counsellor, Trauma Therapist, and Empowerment Coach. 

​

My work is centred around helping you heal, empower, and connect deeply with your most authentic self. Life's challenges -- whether trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, or mental health concerns like anxiety and depression -- can often make us feel disconnected from our true potential. I am here to support you and reclaiming your power, building resilience, and pursuing a life that is full of meaning, fulfillment, and authentic connection.

​

With a compassionate, holistic approach, I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through a process of healing from trauma, overcoming addiction, and strengthening relationships. I also offer support for those navigating sexual identity, seeking to live more freely and authentically and their bodies in relationships. I believe that every person has a potential for profound transformation, and I'm committed to helping you find your path to liberation and emotional well-being.

​

What I Offer

  • Trauma Healing: release, emotional weight of past experiences, and re-discover your inner strength and resilience.

  • Addiction Healing: Overcome addiction, and its underlying causes, creating space for personal growth and healthier, more fulfilling choices.

  • Relationship Empowerment: strengthening, communication, trust, and intimacy to build deeper, more authentic connections with your partner.

  • Exploring Sexual Identity & Enhancing Intimacy: heal and embrace your sexual identity, and create meaningful, and powering experiences in your relationships.

  • Mental Health Support: I offer an approach to mental health that is non-stigmatizing and rather than view diagnosis as part of the individual identity, I approach mental health disorders as adaptations, where together we explore the underlying cause of the symptoms that make up a diagnosis and focus on a deeper level of healing. I offer support in building emotional resilience, reducing anxiety and depression, and foster positive mindset for a more fulfilled life.

  • Child Development & Parenting: I utilize my skills, training, and background in child development and parenting to my work in inner child healing. 

 

My Approach

​​

I believe that true healing comes from within. My approach is rooted in helping people, uncover their authentic self, heal from past wounds and build the resilience to face life challenges with confidence and clarity. I draw from evidence-based therapies to help you unlock your potential. I am trained in a number of therapies that I go over with you and together based on your learning style and goals we develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

​

Together, we will focus on building self-awareness and emotional intelligence, empowering you to make conscious choices that align with your true values and passions. I work with you to uncover the patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies to help you create a life that is meaningful, connected, and fully aligned with who you are at your core.

​

How I Can Help You​

​

  • Heal and Empower Yourself: Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or addiction, I'll support you in healing old wounds and stepping into a life of empowerment and freedom.

  • Build Stronger Relationships: If your relationships are feeling disconnected or strained, I'll help you rebuild trust, improve communication, and cultivate deeper, more meaningful connections. 

  • Pursue Meaning and Fulfillment: Together, we'll clarify your values, passions, and purpose, and set goals that lead to a more fulfilling, authentic life. 

  • Develop Resilience and Confidence: Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but with the right tools and mindset, you can build emotional resilience and navigate adversity with strength and clarity. 

​

What Makes My Services Unique

​

  • Holistic Healing: I offer an integrated approach that combines traditional therapy with coaching, focusing not just on overcoming problems but on empowering you to live authentically. 

  • Specialized Expertise: My ongoing training in trauma, addiction, child development, mental health, and sexuality allows me to offer a well-rounded approach to therapy that addresses both your emotional healing and personal growth. 

  • Authentic Connection: believe in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your challenges and be fully seen and heard. Together, we'll work toward healing and creating the life and relationships you truly deserve.

  • Proven Empowerment: Clients often leave our sessions feeling more confident, self-aware, and capable of navigating life with purpose, resilience, and a deeper sense of meaning. 

​

Ready to Begin Your Journey Toward Healing and Empowerment?

​

Healing is not about fixing what's broken -- it's about rediscovering your power, building resilience, and living authentically. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more meaningful, fulfilled life, I invite you to schedule a free consultation. 

In this session, we'll discuss your goals, explore what's holding you back, and determine how I can support you in creating lasting change.
