People who come to me for help may be experiencing worry, anxiety, panic, depression, sleep disturbances, or chronic pain. My professional approach to each person's needs is tailored, drawing from cognitive behavioral, developmental, and body-centered frameworks."

"I like to say that my approach is change oriented & compassion driven. This means that my 19 years of experience qualifies me to provide help with most individual & relationship problems. I start each new client out with an accessment to ensure that I understand and have accounted for all relevant factors. Then we set goals and decide what positive changes you want. Psychotherapy involves more than just talking. Proper assessment, relevant goals, skill building exercises and practical changes all help people gain the most from sessions. A free 30 min consultation also helps you make the right choice before you begin."

"I welcome individuals, couples, and groups and work with a wide variety of issues and have over 25 years of experience with exercise science, psychology, health promotion and coaching. I have worked with disordered eating and body image and take the "health at every size" approach to health counselling. I understand the importance of physical activity, healthy eating, and sleep on mental health and can offer "walk n talks" (outdoor therapy) as an option to traditional (in the office) meetings. My approach is not defined by a theory but by what you want to get out of your counselling experience."

"Are you looking for greater life satisfaction? Something needs to change but you just can't make it happen on your own? Or perhaps you want to check in with someone objective, for another perspective? Let's talk! Counselling doesn't have to increase your anxiety levels. It can be about two or more people sitting in a safe place, having coffee and a good chat about life. Face to face, online, or on the telephone. I'm a registered psychotherapist and I can help. Maybe for the first time in a long time, it's all about you!"

After a practicum with CYMH I am passionate about working with children and often treat the family as an interconnected system."

"Thanks for looking to me as your prospective psychotherapist. I wish it were otherwise, but suffering is intrinsic to life. However, adversity can deepen our happiness if we learn to live more consciously. What we resist, persists. What unexamined core beliefs have you living below your potential? Together, we'll challenge seemingly 'protective' self-sabotage, explore your deepest aspirations, and develop strategies against overwhelm and discouragement. Instead of relying upon outer authority, we will access your innate wisdom. Through your core values, you'll be supported in taking decisive action to live your singular life with greater purpose and meaning."

"People who have difficulties in their relationships have often been hurt in the past. If this happened early in life, they may not even be aware of it. I help individuals, couples and family members discover and heal old wounds from early trauma or past relationships. I offer a variety of therapeutic options so that you can chose a treatment approach that is a good fit for you. My client-centred practise ensures that everyone is treated with respect, confidentiality, compassion and cultural sensitivity."

"Do you find yourself overwhelmed, stressed out, in pain or anxious in your daily life? Are these moments in your life increasing or frequent? Or have these events become a personal crisis leaving you in pain or at a loss? Nothing you do seems to help. I empathize with how difficult and distressing these events can be or feel, especially in the moment. Now sounds like the time to take action."
