Are you unable to find joy and happiness in your hobbies anymore? Do you think to yourself that no one understands your pain and your suffering? Chronic illness and chronic pain are not easy to handle. The struggle of figuring out what actions are worth your time seems like a blur but you know you want to 'LIVE' once more and not just survive. You want to have meaningful relationships and enjoy the activities you love once more. I work with individuals who no longer want to be held back by their physical and their mental health.

Life can be confusing, frustrating, lonely, and painful. You may find yourself struggling with shame, fearfulness, sadness, anger, or even numbness - maybe it all snuck up on you, or maybe it came crashing down after a traumatic or hurtful event. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and without direction, finding a supportive, knowledgeable and safe psychologist is a great first step. In your search for one, I am happy to answer any questions you have while looking for a good fit.

Life isn't always easy and it doesn't always give us what we expect. We can find ourselves consumed with worry and spiraling thoughts or feeling so low and unmotivated, even getting out of bed seems tough. We can reel from the mental load and exhaustion that comes with chronic pain or chronic illness and feel overwhelmed or burdened with grief and loss or life transitions. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes struggle to meet our goals. Things might feel hopeless - like they'll never get better. But you don't have to travel these roads alone.

Welcome, you have just taken the first step to healing! I have experience working with anxiety, depression, substance use, medical trauma & chronic illness, ADHD, brain injury, OCD, boundaries, career/life transitions, suicide, abuse, trauma, and PTSD. Additionally, I work with couples to help increase communication, overcome betrayal, or regulate emotions. I also work with families to increase boundaries, communication, and heal trauma.

As a counselor I recognize my privilege and am honored to be a part of your journey. Working with me means that I see you as the expert of your lived experiences. At the end of the day we are all unique in our wants, needs, and desires, and what works for some does not mean it will always work for everyone. My aim is to work with you and meet you where you are at so we can figure out what is working, what needs to change, and how we can get there together. After all, this is YOUR journey. Counselling with me is a collaborative process where your voice, opinions, and experiences matter, are important, and are valid.

I value working with adult individuals from all walks of life. I have 17 plus years working in the Addiction and Mental Health field.

I strive to treat all of my clients with unconditional acceptance and compassion. I hope we as a team together will be active in pursuing your personal goals for therapy.

Are you finding it difficult to cope with your own or a loved one’s cancer diagnosis? Although everyone’s experience of cancer is unique, several themes stand out when I reflect on the concerns clients commonly share with me: Many people are having difficulty living with the unknowns. Others share about sadness or a sense of loss of control. Almost all clients talk about the challenge of dealing with fear or worry about the future. If any of these kinds of experiences resonate with you, I invite you to reach out to me. Our work together cannot take away the diagnosis, but I can help you feel better able to cope with the experience.

Welcome! I am an empathetic, caring, and down-to-earth person, who is genuinely interested in supporting you through your journey in counselling. It is important to me that while we work together, you feel supported and accepted. Humor and sensitivity are key ingredients in establishing a successful working relationship. I believe that no two people are the same. As such, you can expect that my approach to your counselling will be as unique as you are.

Welcome to Horizon Counselling Service. I am a registered psychologist on the team who provides individual and family counselling to adults and adolescents. I specialize in chronic health, pain management, trauma and anxiety concerns such as OCD or Phobias.

Sometimes our mind and body aren't in sync and can leave us feeling ill or debilitated. I strongly believe they are connected and believe that psychotherapy can be leveraged to improve their relationship for better overall health and improved quality of life. Our sessions will focus on understanding your chronic health issues, how they impact your life, and how to better manage them. It is my hope that you are an active participant in your care. For some people, their health issues have taken on a life of their own. Control is a theme of our work. Even as issues continue to happen, you can feel more empowered around your response.

Does your anxiety keep you from what really matters in your life? Are you much harder on yourself than you would be to others? Do you get overwhelmed with feelings like anger, grief, or closeness with others, and the ways that you've learned to cope in the past are no longer serving you well? Individual psychotherapy can, and does, help. I am a Ph.D. level Clinical Psychologist who can help you understand the confusing patterns of thoughts and emotions that are keeping you feeling stuck.

I have a passion for helping individuals facing challenges that disrupt their daily lives. I bring extensive experience to supporting Veterans, First Responders, and Emergency Personnel.

I strive to create a safe space for my clients to explore their concerns with compassion and acceptance. My goal is to make you feel supported, to validate your experiences and to provide information and skills to help you meet your goals in a way that is realistic and manageable. Everyone learns and processes differently, so I use a variety of therapeutic modalities. Depending on your hopes for therapy, we will develop a plan that is unique to you and may draw from various approaches.

Hello and welcome to you! Please contact me if you are seeking quality individual or couples psychotherapy. Healing begins when you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns without shame or judgment. We'll start with detailed assessment of your history, personality, abilities, and relationships. Next we develop a treatment plan for your unique situation. If you are willing to be open-minded, courageous and committed to learning, we can make positive changes. Good therapy will likely decrease your symptoms, AND also increase your confidence and skills, bring balance to relationships, and foster self-acceptance.
