Please contact me directly if you are a Veteran, RCMP member, or CAF member who needs support completing the Medical Questionnaire for Psychological Conditions (PEN6248) for a disability application. I have extensive experience completing these disability assessment forms. The VAC disability application process can be daunting and painful. I always do my best to guide members through this process compassionately, with the precise relevant information gathered and presented, no more and no less. I try to reduce, as much as possible, the pain that can be caused by unnecessarily revisiting difficult and traumatic memories.

I work with clients whom wish to push the boundaries of “normal” to uncover & deconstruct the root causes of their suffering. Many of the people that I work with are dealing with major depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and overall frustration with the current state of society and the environment. The clients that I see often present to me with symptoms such as feeling blocked, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, alone, and powerless in their life. I support clients to transform their pain into strength so that they can live a more fulfilled life.

Life is full of challenges. Most of the time we can handle these on our own, but occasionally, these challenges interfere with our relationships, our happiness, and our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We can feel alone, stuck and frustrated. With help, however, we can learn to use our inner strength and resources to move forward in our lives, allowing us to feel happier and more empowered.

When we feel stuck or disconnected, we are likely experiencing a change in our momentum. My goal for our work together is to inspire forward momentum, however big or small. Rather than chasing goals, I strive to stretch your natural strengths and abilities in order to achieve your desired outcomes. By working together to equalize your own playing field, we can explore the stressors and challenges in your life. This allows us to find strategies to best manage your presenting symptoms while exploring the root discomfort.

I support clients managing emotional challenges, BPD traits, depression, OCD, perfectionism, negative internal dialogue, addiction, grief, trauma, and difficult family dynamics. Together we explore a client's history, experience, emotions, and develop better skills for managing challenges. Often old coping strategies are no longer serving the client. Developing relational intimacy with others, and more compassionate communication with self is integral to my work with individuals and families. Together we find solutions for healing and moving forward in healthy ways so clients can align more authenticly with themselves.
