Life is full of natural periods of transition, yet it often brings challenges. Many people find themselves feeling stuck, asking, “What now?” I can assist you in navigating life transitions including evolving relationships, empty nesting, career changes, caring for aging parents, divorce and role changes. Are you stuck at a crossroads in your life? Feeling lost and searching for clarity and purpose? Struggling with grief and loss? Life transitions and times of change are a great time to explore what you need now, what is important now and where do I want to go from here.

We all need support at times, and reaching out can feel daunting, but healing begins through connection. I work with individuals who struggle with substance use, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, including caregivers of people with dementia and those managing medical trauma or complex health needs. My clients often feel overwhelmed by navigating healthcare systems and services. Together, we explore coping skills, process difficult emotions, accessing services, and working towards building a more balanced life, connection, and peace.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future, a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. It takes great courage to reach out and make a change. Although change can be difficult most people realize that it is often more difficult to try and stay the same. People come to therapy for many reasons but often the heart of the matter is that they want to live their "one wild and precious life" Mary Oliver Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I work gently and compassionately with you.

I find hope in what seems to be hopeless situations and clients trust that I can help without judgment. Listening to my clients' personal stories is both an honour and a privilege; feeling heard and understood is often their first significant step towards change. Mostly what I've found is that in my 30 years in the field of psychology and mental health, most of us can work through most of life's little challenges. When you have a challenge that you can't quite get past on your own - There's Counselling for That!
