I am committed to seeing people as more than just the problems they may be struggling with. I value conversations that allow the richness of people's lives to become more visible and accessible to them. After more than 20 years of practice, I continue to feel privileged to accompany people as they sort out life's difficulties. I see adults across the life span in relation to a range of life concerns, including: depression; anxiety; work-life balance; disordered eating and body image difficulties; sexual, interpersonal and workplace trauma; relationship issues; grief and loss; life transitions and identity questions.

Relationship Counselling: Our relationships impact the quality of our lives. When the relationships that are important to us, with partners, family members, friends, peers, and co-workers are challenged and/or suffering, life is a very different experience than when our relationships are healthy & thriving. (Conflict, communication, trust, attachment, change & growth, love). Individual Counselling: I work with adults and youth. Often focused on personal growth, exploring old behaviours and patterns, collaborating to create new ones that will serve clients better in achieving a fulfilling quality of life. (Anxiety, ADHD, depression).

I have been working alongside adults, teens and families as a social worker for nearly 20 years.
Counselling is a unique experience. It is intimate, vulnerable and requires courage. There are infinite reasons that someone may seek counselling or therapy. Let’s face it, being human can be hard! Counselling can be effective for folks struggling to balance life with routines, relationships and responsibilities. Some people experience severe symptoms that impact their physical, mental, social and spiritual health. A safe therapeutic relationship can offer you an opportunity to access your wisdom and allow your authentic emotional and spiritual self to emerge, heal and expand.

My practice has been largely informed by my work with children, youth, adults, and families who have experienced violence and are facing challenges with life transitions.
Has your family been impacted by grief, loss, mental health challenges or life transitions? Have you or a family member witnessed or experienced interpersonal violence or trauma? As a registered clinical counselor and art therapist, I support children, youth, adults, and caregivers to bridge connections by exploring these issues with safety and acceptance. My approach to counselling is relational, client-centered and trauma informed, and I utilize evidence-based modalities from my training in art therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy and somatic attachment therapy.

Every person has inherent strengths, abilities, and knowledge; however, when life gets challenging, we could all use a non-judgmental guide to partner with, to find goal-oriented solutions. I have extensive experience helping adults who are struggling with heartbreak (separation/divorce), lower mood, feeling anxious and/or using substances more than they would like, combined with a passion for working with neurodiversity and people with disabilities or life changing diagnoses. I value working with those who served in the military or emergency services including police, fire, and ambulance.

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions"- Dalai Lama. Life can be challenging.

And at the same time we must be willing to take charge of our own healing in the present, because no matter what happened to us, only we, as adults, and with the help of a therapist, have the power to heal ourselves.
Difficult problems are not so much solved, as outgrown. I aim to help people do this through the in-depth and compassionate examination of their present and past, their inner world and outer world, and to build consciousness and cohesion between them. When this is done with sincerity, the result is that we come to know and value ourselves in a totally new way. And it also becomes possible to free ourselves from negative patterns that can go back generations.

Thriving Roots Counselling Services is for youth (6+), adults, couples, and families who enjoy, or who are curious about a nature-based, therapeutic approach.
