I am a Certified Personal and Executive Coach, who can help you reach untapped potential in any area of your life. I am passionate about, and highly skilled at, helping you improve your career path or work experience, get the most out of your relationships, and improve your overall well-being, on multiple levels. Do you feel like you're overly stressed, or pulled in too many directions? Are you struggling to get recognized for the talents you know you have? My coaching skills can help you turn these challenges into victories.

Life can be challenging, and we commonly face difficulties in our personal lives, relationships, family, and career. These challenges can be overwhelming and make finding joy in life hard. But healing and finding peace and happiness is possible with the right support. My practice operates on the belief that we all possess the inner wisdom to guide us through life's journey. By working together, we can tap into your inner strength and knowledge to help you gain clarity, heal from past wounds, and improve your mental well-being. So, I can support you in gaining clarity to repair the past and restore peace to your present situation.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

Accepting New Clients! Navigating life’s challenges can be hard and often needs support. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist with experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, panic and phobias, and relationship issues. I enjoy supporting people through difficult life transitions, coping with chronic pain and illness, grief, interpersonal challenges, limiting self-beliefs and low self-esteem. I work with both individuals and couples to build healthier more meaningful relationships by enhancing connection, communication, and understanding.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you looking for affordable counselling services to explore stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships, depression, ADHD, and more? Do you feel stuck and want to improve your mood and wellbeing? Are you wanting to "make things make sense" or feel less "stuck?" Do you want to attend on a weekly or biweekly basis, but felt limited by cost? We are a team of clinicians who looks forward to being able to offer sliding scale and low-cost therapy. Evening and daytime availabilities and no wait-lists (clinician dependent), and we see individuals and couples.

I work with clients who are finding their true identity and ready to release any aspect of themselves and their story that no longer serve them. This includes clients that have unresolved experiences from their recent or distant past that would like professional guidance in processing such from a trauma-informed and empathic lens. Clients that are ready for change and able to dedicate their energy to their own healing, in and out of session, with my support. Clients that may feel stuck, low-mood, unmotivated or confused in how to progress in life but are feeling called to evolve into a fulfilled & grateful version of themselves.

Currently, we provide online counseling services exclusively, featuring a talented team of counselors from diverse backgrounds who can tackle a wide range of mental health issues. Our primary goal is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through exceptional counseling services. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach for each unique client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we pledge to either find an appropriate replacement or suggest an unaffiliated alternative expert to ensure their needs are met.

As we go through difficult experiences, I believe that there is comfort in not being alone. I believe that a connection with another person can provide an opportunity to feel safe as we explore unknown parts of our lives. I am hopeful and believe that there are possibilities that are here to be uncovered in each of us. I bring generosity of spirit into my work and will meet you where you are at in your process and we will move forward in a way that feels right for you. I am open to sitting with whatever it is that you are experiencing, including those places that may feel scary, painful or overwhelming.

Accepting NEW clients – Do you want to feel less anxious, stressed, or depressed, and understand why these feelings stick? Have you experienced trauma or difficult situations and are unsure how to move forward? Do you want to learn coping skills to better manage your day-to-day or relationships? Are you facing life changes, cultural stressors, or transitions that you’d like support with? I'm here to support you on your journey of healing, understanding, and clarity. I offer a non-judgmental space for you to explore past, present, and future goals. Through collaboration, we can create a plan that fits your unique needs.
