As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I believe one of the biggest hurdles in overcoming our troubles is thinking we’re all alone. Asking for help is no longer considered a weakness. In fact, it can be one of the most influential, life-altering decisions we can make for ourselves. Because when we talk about our feelings, they often become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less worrisome. I can work with most concerns such as chronic pain, couples/marriage, pain management, families, teens, and life stresses.

I work from a multidisciplinary approach to accommodate the client’s needs. I meet the client where they are and assist them in accomplishing their goals.

I have also worked with addictions, and mental health issues such as anxiety disorders and depression. I have worked extensively with many diverse populations such as Aboriginal people, and many other ethnicities.

I work with adult individuals to guide them in managing anxiety, stress, self-esteem-related issues, and depression. I especially have a passion for working with individuals who are experiencing grief around breakups.

I love guiding clients in reaching their goals of seeing peace again in their life and to find hope for the future. I want you to know you are not alone and I am willing to work with you wherever you’re at in your healing journey.
