Hope is looking forward with both confidence and unsuredness to something good. When we hope, we anticipate that what we want to happen can indeed happen. I want to walk in hope with you that the future can somehow be better, no matter what its present condition. I use an integrative approach rooted in narrative therapy, emotion focused family therapy, solution focused therapy and attachment theory to find new meaning and change for my clients.

Each person’s life is a sacred story worthy of being heard. But many stories contain parts which we’d rather remain hidden. Whether you’ve experienced or are currently experiencing trauma, anxiety and life stresses, or a challenging relationship, you may be finding it difficult to cope and manage day-to-day tasks. Counselling creates the potential for you to experience what it means to become more present to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, both as an individual and as a voice within the bigger whole of your family and/or community.

Each of us possess an inner wisdom that reflects our "authentic self" or who we are at our core. Often times this self is silenced by our harsh inner critic and overshadowed by external expectations about who we "should be" or how we "should act." To live a more authentic life, we need to understand that which we value most (such as self-respect, independence, honesty, friendship, health, etc.) and begin to behave in ways that better aligns us with our core values. The more our behaviours align with our core values, the more meaningful our lives become. This is the key to long-term happiness and well-being.

As humans, we will experience feelings of burnout, anxiety, or depression at some point in our lives, and talking to a psychologist can help. I have seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy and the incredible progress individuals can make as they learn to navigate their emotions, build resilience, and create meaningful connections with others. Since there is no “one size fits all” approach, I will work in collaboration with you to come up with a unique game plan that fits your needs and most of all, works! I am here to help support and push you towards achieving your personal, professional, and lifelong goals.

Though unsettling, adversity in this life is guaranteed. As faint as it may be, it is ‘hope’ that has brought you to this page. We seek support, in the hopes that things will change for the better. It is through faith placed in our support network, that we allow others to walk alongside us. Thank you for trusting me to walk with you through this season in your life.

I recognize and appreciate that starting therapy can feel worrisome.

Has life stress become too much? Do you feel like you are just surviving each day? You are not alone. Anxiety and mood issues can manifest in many forms, including low energy, irritability, anger, and more.

How is your teen doing with not only school and peer pressure, but also the added stress of COVID-19 and isolation? Working with adolescents is a special area of interest of mine and I can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

I believe that recognizing obstacles in your life and reaching out for support to overcome those obstacles is a sign of strength and courage. I provide support for individuals, couples and families dealing with social, emotional and environmental challenges. In addition I provide career counseling.
