Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

With over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals and families overcome challenges like boundaries, self-esteem, childhood abuse, bullying, alcoholic parents, and learning differences. These struggles often lead to cycles of toxic relationships and intensify ADHD symptoms. Healing your trauma can reduce these symptoms and the frustrations they bring. If your child has been diagnosed, your healing can also create a ripple effect, easing their challenges too. Let’s work together to break free from the past and build the life you and your family deserve.

Internalizing and understanding our lived experiences is a personal process and we all have found ways to manage the less than ideal aspects of life. Sometimes those 'ways' become less effective, for a plethora of reasons. Counselling can offer the space and support to tease this out. Exploring contributing factors related to the impacts of life events often helps facilitate the transition from self judgement to self compassion and acceptance. I have worked extensively with individuals and couples who are faced with a wide variety of circumstances and have chosen to reach out, in order to support their healing and change process.

Psychological interventions are a way to understand, and change problematic behaviours and relationships that impede a person's development. I see the maladaptive patterns that people become embroiled in as knots, and psychotherapy as a way for people to untie the emotional knots they find themselves in. My approach is psychodynamic in orientation which means how to fundamentally change the negative patterns we continually make across multiple relationships. My particular skill is in working with and helping you to understand the emotional relationships people engage in and how these can have negative and positive consequences

I help people learn to forgive themselves for the things they had to do in order to survive. I believe that when we feel safe in our body and free from the shackles of our past, we can create our dream reality.

We are not what has happened to us, we are who we choose to become. I'm here to help you discover who you truly are on a soul level.

Our mental health is such an important part of our overall wellbeing and for the way we show up in our life, yet it isn’t always an easy thing to address or to talk about. Our experiences and the challenges that can come with them are unique to each of us, just as are our strengths and values, and sometimes having the support of a therapist can help us to reconnect with these parts of ourselves and choose a way forward. I acknowledge that cultural and social systems interact with our inner world and lived experience, and it’s important to me that my practice integrates diverse perspectives and ways of caring for each client.
