Therapists in K2G

Beyond my credentials, I've learned keenly from each of my clients over the years, and my practice is informed by rich life experience. I work collaboratively, guiding you in revealing underlying causes and patterns that may be posing challenges in your life, in identifying and clarifying your own goals, and supporting you in carrying out strategies best suited for you to reach them. Each counselling need is unique. Always listening and with empathy, I can challenge you without threatening, and meet you where you're really at - which may not necessarily be where you assume you are.

You really care, and whenever you can, you do your best. BUT, you're sick and tired of being sick and tired.. You are STUCK, feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and better connected to the suffering lately, than the EASE you wish you could just feel. Life is tricky right now, and the past hasn't been easy, either. You wonder - maybe it's stupid to hold out hope for change? You don't want to feel this way, but nothing you've tried so far has helped. You just don't know what you need to feel better, and you're starting to wonder if there is really anything better out there for you on the horizon, or, if this is... just as good as it gets?

Are you worried about your child or adolescent? Is your child struggling to connect with peers, bullying others, or being bullied?

Addiction is a multifaceted and complicated process. Although there is a commonality between various expressions of addiction, individuals are also unique and require personalized treatment. I endeavor to provide my clients with the best possible counselling based on the most current thinking in the area of addiction.

It is important to recognize that things will get better with dedication and acceptance. I will be there to help guide you through the process.

How is fear impacting your life? From problems that make you feel paralyzed, to uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to identify, trying to figure it out on your own can be confusing and scary.

I offer a nonjudgmental therapeutic lens where you can feel safe to explore your patterns and past. I created Dune Psychotherapy to be a collaborative practice, where we work together to move towards an authentic version of yourself.
