Thank you for reading my profile. Do you want to feel more fulfilled, empowered, and present in your life? Are you feeling stuck or seeking deeper meaning in your life? Life is tragic and hard and beautiful and our relationships shape, but do not define us. I believe each of us possesses unique strengths that can help us in tough times and I'm committed to providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space for you to explore whatever is going on in your life at the moment. Having experienced profound grief in my own life, I will meet you where you are, at your own pace. In time, we can develop strategies that work for you.
I specialize in grief, anxiety, parenting, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and couples counselling. I am trained in The Gottman Method (Level Two) and hold two Master's degrees in Sociology and Counselling Psychotherapy. I've completed over 30 professional trainings in the areas of narrative therapy, EFT, money management, narcissism, ACT and more.
If life is an ocean, constantly shifting, we can learn to adapt to the waves as they rise and fall. I utilize an integrative approach drawing from narrative therapy, strengths-based and attachment theory tailored to you. Talking to someone is not easy, requiring courage and vulnerability. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-min, no pressure phone consult.
