I have spent the last 20 years working with teenagers and children. I have been a coach, a mentor, a teacher, and now a counsellor. Building relationships has always been a priority in working with young people. Developing trust and offering them a place to feel safe, comfortable, and themselves is what I value most in my work. I often work with students dealing with relationship issues, loss, addictions, and anxiety. I am a drama trained educator and often use role play to support skill building and behavioural rehearsal.

Life can feel heavy at times—especially when you’re carrying stress, anxiety, grief, or navigating a meaningful transition. If you’re finding yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone, and support is available. My approach to counselling is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience, identity, and strengths. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, explore what’s coming up for you, and better understand yourself.

Sometimes people come to counselling not because everything is falling apart, but because life feels heavy, overwhelming, or difficult to navigate alone. Anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, family stress, life transitions, and neurodivergent experiences can make it hard to feel connected to yourself, your faith, or the people you love. Many children, teens, and adults quietly carry more than others realize, often longing for a space where they can feel safe, accepted, and cared for. At Lighthouse Harbour Counselling, I am committed to being that space through steadiness, warmth, and a light that stays on.

I specialize in providing therapeutic support to adults, teens, and children (ages 3 and up), utilizing a range of approaches. In my practice, I embrace the concept of Wabi-Sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and the incomplete. This philosophy informs my therapeutic approach by encouraging clients to find acceptance and peace in the natural flow of life, recognizing that growth often comes through embracing life’s imperfections and uncertainties. This mindset fosters resilience and allows clients to appreciate their journey, with all its flaws and triumphs, as a beautiful and meaningful experience.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.

When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.

What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.

Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
