Life is a journey, and like all journeys, the road can be unpredictable - sometimes smooth, other times rough. While we can handle most rough spots, sometimes we feel defeated by daily responsibilities, or generally exhausted, and we may not even know why. At times like this, it can help to explore what's going on with someone who is safe, supportive and understanding. Reaching out takes courage and wisdom. My goal is to walk with you through those rough times, offering hope, inspiration, skills and tools, and discovering your new best self. We learn and grow through challenges - let's take this road together.

I have been a counsellor and family therapist for over 30 years, during that time I have worked with a rich diversity of people. Counselling and family therapy is a work that I love. I have found that people carry with them, in their own lives and networks, the strengths, the relationships, and the gifts that enable them to move through the most challenging of situations. I have found that I am able to help people find the possibilities that they need to cope with life’s various challenges.
