In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, the effects of past trauma or relationship challenges. Sessions provide a safe, welcoming space where all parts of a person can be seen and heard. We explore thoughts, feelings, and memories with compassion and curiosity. Using a holistic, client-centred approach, I offer tools and strategies to manage challenges and support greater well-being. For those who value spirituality or faith, these can be integrated into the journey toward healing and peace and can be important in finding meaning, hope and strength.

At Family Counselling Centres we recognize that therapy cannot be a one size fits all approach. Every individual is unique in how they respond to therapy. Accordingly, we utilize play therapy, animal assisted (horse and dog) therapy, EMDR, art therapy, filial therapy, sand play therapy, and traditional psychotherapy to provide clients with comprehensive care. We treat children, teens, adults, and families using both traditional and non-traditional therapies. We believe that people can live up to their full potential if a nurturing environment is available-- this is why we put such a strong focus on the family.

Changes in one's life can result in many possibilities that can be overwhelming for some, and exciting for others.To manage the changes that occur in our life, we create our own personal safety net as a means for protection and safety from the potential dangers that can be brought on from change.However, an over reliance on these personal safety nets may lead to feeling like being imprisoned and trapped inside one's shell. This could eventually result in feelings of depression and anxiety.
