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 believe in an individualized, caring and respectful approach when working with clients to become more resilient and effective in their lives. Many people believe that the skills and motivation needed to maneuver all of life’s obstacles are automatically within all of us. But many of us learn ineffective ways of communicating, develop unhealthy patterns or find ourselves stuck with no idea of how to move forward. Having a dedicated time to examine patterns, build skills and develop a deeper understanding of ones’ strengths can help build a greater sense of wellness and clarity in our lives.
