Welcome to The Resiliency Effect

Accepting new clients

You’ve spent a long time holding it all together—but you’re ready for more than just coping. I work with adult women and men facing anxiety, depression, self-criticism, and the impact of historical trauma. My style is warm, validating, and collaborative. We’ll work together to help you reconnect with your resilience and move toward a life that feels more grounded and empowered.

If you are in crisis and need immediate support, please go to your nearest emergency department, call 9-1-1, or reach out to the Canada wide crisis line by either dialing 9-8-8 or clicking the link: Get Help | 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline

Psychotherapy is a dynamic and interactive process designed to empower individuals as they navigate a broad spectrum of challenges and emotional struggles.

Reaching Out For Support

Resiliency Is Not:

Ignoring Our Emotions
Telling Ourselves to “Just Think Positively”

Land Acknowledgement

The Resiliency Effect acknowledges the Indigenous Peoples of the lands, and the importance of these lands in which we have the privilege to learn, work and call our home, including the ancestral and unceded lands of the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations people. This acknowledgment is a declaration of our commitment to be knowledgeable and respectful of the Indigenous peoples’ traditions and culture. With this acknowledgment, we reflect on the damage of colonialism and residential schools on Indigenous People’s families and community’s well-being, their culture and traditions, and how we as individuals, psychotherapists, and as a community can engage in the reconciliation and collaboration process.
