I love to support teens, individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s challenges—whether anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, relationship struggles, attachment issues, PTSD, childhood trauma, or low self-esteem. Together, we will build self-compassion, look at maladaptive patterns, and explore practical tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and create meaningful change. We all want to feel heard, supported, and empowered on our journey toward healing, growth, and healthier relationships, and I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.

Life doesn't always go as we plan. We can end up experiencing relationship struggles or abuse, find it difficult to get past grief and loss, find ourselves relying on substances or other addictive behaviours to get by. We may experience depression or anxiety, or wake up one morning and realise that for whatever reason, things that used to work for us are just not working anymore. We may feel exhausted or empty or disappointed and not really know why. Whether you are battling a long term problem or experiencing a new and unexpected struggle, we can support and equip you through empathetic and confidential counselling.

As our world rapidly changes around us more people are reaching a crossroads and are looking for that "something more". This may be within yourself, within your relationships, out in the world and even beyond, to the spiritual. You may be unsure of just what that something is and you need support to uncover, resolve or heal it. Sometimes our life journey leaves us with stress, pain, trauma, struggle with identity and this can lead us to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as anxiety, depression, addiction and disconnection.

Are you exhausted from a nervous system that won't quiet down? You may be a sensitive, capable person navigating chronic anxiety, overwhelm, or the disorienting shifts of a spiritual awakening. You've likely tried talk therapy but still feel a deep, unresolved tension or sense of being "blocked" in your body, leaving you unsettled and not fully present. Your goal is a true homecoming to sustained calm, grounded clarity, and a deeper sense of purpose. You want to stop managing symptoms and finally feel safe and integrated in your own skin.

Life can be both exciting and challenging. One of the toughest challenges is learning to be open and realizing that we often repeat the same mistakes over and over again, asking ourselves, 'Why is this happening to me?' We develop patterns of behavior that we repeat unconsciously, almost as if we're blindfolded, without even realizing it. If you recognize that these patterns are damaging your life and the lives of the people you love, I'm here to support you. If you're a man and you realize that your anger is affecting your family life and you want to work through it, feel free to reach out.

I believe that trust is the highest form of human motivation and tricky situations challenge it in ourselves. We can have strengths that are as salient and unique as the barriers we face. My clients can have a good insight into themselves or their situation. They may have qualities that set them up for life or have achievements and yet experience significant setbacks that impact their mental health. I work largely with women navigating their pregnancy, parents with young children (up to 4 yrs), immigrants or people of a multi-racial background navigating change in a personal or professional context.

Spirituality Counsellors

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
