Life Challenges us at different times throughout our lifetime. During these times we may need additional support or someone to listen and hear our struggles and experiences without any judgment. If you find yourself experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, burnout, parenting struggles, or something more specific to you, working together I can help you navigate, recognize the inner strengths that you already hold, and co-create goals to achieve change or acceptance in the life you deserve. Let's focus on finding solutions that last!

My goal is to help people heal, change, and grow. While working with individuals in various stages of adulthood, I emphasize the importance of having an accepting and judgement free environment to explore experiences and emotions. Are you seeking one-on-one support for issues that you are dealing with in your daily life? You feel like you are wearing a mask. You go to work and act like you have it all together but inside you feel stuck and helpless. You have a loving family and great friends, but you feel disconnected from them. You feel overwhelmed, and have no idea where to start.

In my practice, I believe that change, growth, and healing is possible for everyone. I see counselling as a collaborative process where the counsellor and the client work together to develop perspective and understanding.

Experiencing emotional, psychological, and interpersonal distress causes many people to feel isolated and alone. People need to feel connected and known to heal and grow. We are designed to seek belonging and acceptance from our community and when we experience adversity, trauma, or abuse we are robbed of that sense of connection and belonging. Our nervous system senses threats all around us, leading to further isolation and loneliness. The wisdom for healing lies within each person, sometimes we all need a little help to recognize it.

Loss is something we all encounter at some point in our lives, and grief is our natural response when we have to say goodbye to something or someone we hold dear. The depth of our sadness reflects just how much we cared and were attached to what we lost. Sometimes, this sorrow can be so overwhelming that it becomes challenging to concentrate on anything else. It's worth noting that in many societies, we don't talk much about death, which leaves us unsure about how to handle grief—a part of life that never really goes away. Like an emotional rollercoaster; it takes us through a process of change that is difficult to navigate.

Life can brings unexpected changes: Relationships come to an end; There may be Infidelity, failure, and disappointments. For those who value spirituality and faith there is a loss of hope. Alcohol and/or drug issues take control. If any of this resonates with you it may be a good time to consider counselling. I have a passion for people who struggle with chronic anxiety, aging gracefully, faith issues, addictions, depression, and relationship strife. I also have good understanding of the complicated world of blended families, those who struggle with work/family balance, and men who struggle with gaming/porn addictions.
