Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. At some points, we can all experience difficult times and need help and support to guide us through. Experiences that have caused pain, anxiety, grief, loss, or shame can feel overpowering if left unrecognized. Working side by side with you on your journey is a privilege. My approach not only focuses on relief from distress, but also helps to develop new tools and clarity of thoughts and feelings through open exploration. A process that can ultimately open up greater inner strength, joy, self-compassion, and serenity.
I am a Registered & Master Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada, a Gottman Method & EFT Couples Therapist, and a Certified Canadian Addiction Counsellor. I provide compassionate & confidential counselling to individuals and couples.
Counselling helps identify and clarify difficult or uncomfortable situations in life. It's a safe place to gather new tools and to help you understand yourself better, including your thoughts, feelings and actions. Having the right confidential, caring, non-judgmental person to share your stories with is the first step to living the life you wish to live.
