I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have deep empathy for the experience of anxiety and relationship struggles, and I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. I know that anxiety often comes from a place of just wanting to get it right, and I'm skilled in working through the underlying issues that contribute to anxiety so that you can feel confident and secure instead of frozen and stalled.
I understand how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer evidence-based couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gives practical strategies to create real change.

Life can always get in the way of our hopes and dreams. Sometimes, it is hard to ask for help to get there. I can relate to your challenges and this is why it is essential to seek help and support which will help you find emotional balance and regain a sense of safety and security. I help individuals and couples struggling with emotional concerns or those who are feeling stuck in their current ways. I specialize in issues concerning self-esteem, assertiveness, boundaries, anxiety, low mood, intimacy in your relationship, deeper connection with your partner, and improved relationships. My goal is to help my client to facilitate change and find a path to a better living and improved sense of self. I hope to inspire you to show up for yourself and continue motivating yourself to be more.
I respect my clients’ safety and privacy and ensure that anything you share with me remains strictly confidential.
I look forward to hearing from you. I offer a free 20-minute consultation where you can find out how we can work together to address your unique needs.
It's not easy to reach out and ask for help. But what I want you to know is that everyone needs somebody to talk to at some point in their lives. It doesn't mean you're weak or sick or less than anyone else. It just helps to have a neutral third party you can say anything to. No matter what's coming up for you now, you can talk to me.

Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
My practice, Forward Thinking Psychological Services, provides clients with the skills and tools they need to move ahead in their lives and achieve their goals, despite the distress they may experience. We deliver scientifically-supported treatments for obsessive compulsive and related disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, as well as a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems.
I have worked with clients in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings and currently oversee clinical services within a hospital setting as well.
Our work is evidence-based, collaborative and values-based – ensuring that every client is a major participant in their treatment and is able to “take the reins” and become their own therapist over time.

Making changes in your life or relationship can be unsettling and can often involve sadness, confusion or thoughts running in circles without a solution. Greater ability to sit with uncomfortable feelings or regrets, have compassion for yourself or others and stay in the present moment can really help. Releasing stored up emotions from the past may also be supportive. Allow me to support you, or you and your loved ones, through transition points in your life such as: fertility and infertility; addition of a new child or child moving into adolescence; midlife/menopause; adjustment after immigration, or a difficult moment in your relationship. Call me for a free 15 minute consultation.

My goal as a Transpersonal Therapist, is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns, or negative perceptions, that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

This fusion of knowledge and perspectives equips me to provide therapy that is not only deeply insightful but also highly effective, customized to meet the specific needs of each client.
