Welcome & nice to meet you. I'm a holistic counsellor whose mission is to support your well-being and empowerment. My offerings includes individual counseling; supervision and consult for fellow counsellors; and group therapy. I have specialised ongoing training in working with trauma on the individual, group and systemic levels. I love working with post-secondary students especially, because of my life-long exposure to academia, and my own time as a student and university administrator. In addition to having insider knowledge, I appreciate the mental and emotional demands of school. Therapy can centre your needs right now.

Together we will discover a more fulfilling, and peaceful way of being in this world! Through exploring one's behavioral and thought patterns, one can become empowered to make different choices.

“It could be worse,” “At least this isn’t as bad as what (fill in the blank) is going through,” “You’re not tired, you’re lazy,” “I’ve been in worse situations before,” “I’m lucky, I have a roof over my head and food on the table, so stop complaining," “Other people are going through this and making it work, I should be able to, too.” Have you been saying these things to yourself? You’re not the only one. I’ve had clients tell me how they’re feeling and what they’ve been doing that “should” work but hasn’t and they have no idea why or how everyone else is seemingly coping better under the same circumstances.
