I firmly believe in the healing power of relationship and I strive to nurture my clients’ connection to loved ones and significant others. I believe that positive change starts with healthy individuals who then form healthy relationships and establish positive child-parent connections. These relationships give rise to healthy families and thriving communities. To me, empathy and compassion are at the heart of healthy connection and by creating a space for these qualities to flourish, we take the first steps toward healing.
To me, the therapeutic relationship is an essential starting place for positive growth. Therapy is a space to be received and welcomed, a space where we can look at life’s challenges with a compassionate eye so that we may be curious about what changes might make life more enjoyable.
At my clinic, The Counselling Space, I am pleased to announce that I work with a number of talented therapists who are welcoming new clients with no more than a 1-2 week wait for an initial session. Further, I am delighted to share that our Master's Level Student Therapist is available to provide Low Cost Counselling Services. Please reach out for details!

Groups
Solstice Healing Group
The Summer Solstice marks the first day of astrological summer, a time of growth and abundance. When on the Healing Journey, we allow for Mother Nature’s cycle of life, following the natural passage of life. Join us on a journey of healing where you will learn to ground yourself and achieve peace within yourself in order to hear the stories of the Inner Self and allow them freedom of expression. In this group we will use meditations, creative expression, and Tarot/Oracle guidance to achieve a relationship with the Inner Self and the wisdom it can impart to us.
