Having encountered significant loss as a child, I was confronted with a wave of grief and trauma that I did not have the skills or insight to navigate on my own. Grief during childhood can be so overwhelming, isolating, and confusing to try to understand and accept. After trying to cope with the loss through engaging in both internalizing and externalizing behaviours, I was connected with supports and gained the ability to finally come out on the other side of what seemed like a never-ending tidal wave. Throughout my experience, I developed a deep appreciation for how a safe and genuine therapeutic relationship characterized by unconditional acceptance, ongoing support, regular insight and reflection, and skill building, can help us move through the waves of life. 

​

My desire to support others who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and dysregulated by the challenges of life stems from my own experience working through childhood grief. Specifically, throughout my career, I have developed a growing passion for supporting children, youth, and young adults navigating through the challenges of life. This includes working with individuals to process and resolve past trauma, loss, mood-related hardships, or the stressors of daily life in order to engage more fully and presently in life once again. By providing a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe space, I aim to ensure you feel heard and supported as we work together.

 

Taking the first step towards healing and returning to feeling like yourself is recognizing that you don't have to sail the wave alone. Together, we can figure it out. It would be an honour to join you on your journey towards self-discovery, healing, and wellness.
