Being a “helper” has always been in my nature. I find a true sense of purpose in knowing I have been of service assisting others in their journey to self improvement, providing an empathetic sounding board, and non-judgemental guidance. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process in which my role is to walk alongside each of my clients, providing them with the emotional support and psycho-educational tools to draw upon the strength & solutions that inherently lie within them. I work with adult individuals, those seeking relationship & marriage counselling, and women during their prenatal/postpartum period.

I work with adults navigating trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use concerns, and the impacts of a loved one's mental health or substance use challenges. Many of my clients are intelligent, capable, and caring people who have spent years putting others first, pushing through difficulties, or trying to manage on their own. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, healing, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.

Sometimes, our busy world can leave us feeling overwhelmed and worn out. Or, our past can keep us locked in patterns that we struggle to escape. No matter the issue, I believe that personal growth is an achievable option, and that we can find sustained healing from past wounds. In this journey, it is important to have support and connection. That is what I offer my clients in counselling – a connection with someone who has compassion and hope for each person embarking on a path to a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.

You feel stuck at a fork in the road, overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or indecision that drains your energy and steals your potential (you know it's there). One path leads to clarity, purpose, and forward momentum. The other keeps you trapped in the same unfulfilling cycle. I help individuals and couples regain control, overcome decision paralysis, and make value aligned choices in career, relationships, and life.

Do you struggle with relationships, anxiety, or depression? Maybe you grew up walking on eggshells around a difficult parent, or feel emotionally drained by certain people. You long for deeper connection, but something keeps getting in the way.
Many people come to me feeling stuck in the same patterns. Choosing partners who hurt them. Feeling invisible in their relationships. Pushing people away when things get too close. You might find yourself reacting in ways that surprise you, or carrying a quiet sense that you're never quite enough.

You may be feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to repair trust after hurt or emotional distance. You might be navigating a major relationship transition such as commitment decisions, premarital preparation, separation, or rebuilding after betrayal. You may notice the same patterns repeating and want help understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Ultimately, you want more emotional closeness, clearer communication, and a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and supportive rather than exhausting, tense, or confusing.

I work most effectively with clients who feel stuck, knowing something needs to change but are unsure how to get there. Whether navigating trauma, life changes, relationship and intergenerational patterns, questioning meaning, or are having a hard time showing up or feeling as they want to, my clients are at the point where they are willing to try a different approach with someone new.
I draw from evidence-based modalities that shift thinking and behaviour, integrate parts, and process emotions. I also utilize somatic approaches that address the nervous system, releasing patterns and trapped tension and emotions.
