Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Human Development Counselling
I have been practicing Psychotherapy both privately and through a Children's Mental Health Agency for approximately 20 years. I have had the distinct pleasure to work with some truly amazing clients, who have collectively taught me about life, love, struggle, and resilience. The foundation of my Clinical Practice is Emotionally Focused Therapy-a well researched, evidence based model which is built on the universal desire for connection, belonging and security.
Registered Psychotherapist, BES, B Arch, CBT, RP, OSRP, CRPO
I offer a safe space to open up in your vulnerability with your fears, grief, heartaches or feeling stuck. Whether you have anxiety, depression or relationship issues, I can support you through healing, re-organization and resolution. I am a warm-hearted soul guide and body-oriented psychotherapist that integrates your body, mind and soul connections. I offer deep, core healing work that works with how your consciousness can shift from your mind to your heart, to your gut instincts and throughout your holistic soul self. I create a non-judgmental environment that is LGBTQ and all-races friendly. You can find out more about me on my website www.buildingsoul.ca
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.
I see therapy as a safe space, free of judgement, where you can express yourself and begin to explore opportunities to cultivate a compassionate relationship with yourself and those around you. My goal as a therapist is to be your companion to help facilitate your internal search and exploration. Together, we will strive to help you make meaningful connections, unveil new understandings and elicit a sense of hope and trust in yourself. 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.
Do you feel like your anxiety stops you from living your life? Like self critical thoughts are always running through your mind and your brain won't "shut off"?

My work is rooted in compassion and together we can equip you with the tools to cope with life's challenges, understand yourself better, and go from surviving to thriving in order to create the life that you deserve.

I truly believe that each and every one of us holds the strength to transform ourselves and our lives in a meaningful way - sometimes, we just need a little support to get there. Specializing in anxiety, eating disorders, body image, depression, self-esteem, and grief/ loss, my approach is client centred - recognizing that through the challenges, experiences, and traits that make us who we are, we deserve therapy that is unique to us.
We all know what it feels like to experience overwhelm - when life just seems to get out of control. As individuals, we develop our own coping mechanisms to help us get through these difficult times. Things that where helpful at one point, often stop serving us in the long run. If you feel tired of what feels like an uphill battle, it might be worthwhile to consider how therapy can help you. This journey is is not easy, but it can be tremendously rewarding in the long run. Together, we can work on understanding how past experiences have shaped you into the person that you are today and how you can move forward with developing a greater sense of connection to yourself.
*IN-PERSON AVAILABILITY* I believe my lived experience with racism, parenting, grief and the challenges of adolescence infuse emphatic understanding into my practice. Life is hard!! I have also faced many of the challenges facing our children, teens and families today, and I bring my experiences into my clinical practice. The foundation of my work is steeped in hope; as I believe that hope is essential to effect positive outcomes and change.
