I am a guidance counsellor for grown-ass adults! Because most people did not figure out their career before they left high school. If you are struggling to figure out your career direction and know that something needs to change, but feel stuck, unsure, burned out and confused I am glad we found each other. Together, we can figure out what actually matters to you, the strengths you bring, and what kind of work will feel both meaningful and sustainable. Clients leave our work together feeling grounded, clear, and ready to move forward. My process is structured but personalized, designed to help you find a path that works for you.

Are you an adult struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, low mood, or emotional overwhelm and it's affecting your day‑to‑day life and how you’re showing up at work and in your relationships? You might feel lonely, confused, afraid, or unsure how you’re going to get through this time. It’s incredibly common for trauma (historical or current), neglect, and big life events to shake our stability and sense of self. Holding it alone often makes it feel heavier. Counselling can help you to hear yourself and your needs, make sense of things, build self-compassion, stabilize emotions, and generate hope for your future.

Perhaps you've had this experience: you understand your patterns, you know something about where they came from, you can explain them clearly to others—and yet the understanding hasn't translated into feeling or living differently. The anxiety persists. The relationship patterns repeat. Your body remains spring-loaded. You sense that something beyond insight is needed, and that the missing piece might involve working with what's happening in your body, not just your thoughts. You're looking for an approach that honours both your intelligence and your lived, felt experience.

Is the weight of past experiences holding you back?
Strong emotions, overwhelming memories, and chronic stress can quietly shape daily life, even when you’re doing your best to move forward. Unresolved trauma often shows up as anxiety, depression, addiction (whether substance or behavioral), and other painful challenges that can leave you feeling stuck.
Whether you're new to therapy or seeking a fresh approach, I offer a supportive space for healing and growth. I have extensive experience working with RCMP members, veterans, and others whose lives have been shaped by high-stress or traumatic environments.
