I am a therapist who has dedicated my life to assisting individuals with their life struggles. I understand what it is like to feel lost and like your life is in turmoil. Many years ago I set out to better understand who I was and why I felt the way I did. My own personal journey of self-discovery yielded some new truths for me: I am not alone. The more I understand about myself, the more alive I feel.
Areas of counselling expertise Anxiety (racing thoughts, excessive worry, stress) Depression (lack of motivation, loss of interest in life and connections) Life transitions (Career, Divorce/Separation, Relocations) Trauma Grief/Loss Personal Identity
I am open-minded and genuinely curious about the human beings I have the privilege to support. It is a gift to hear each person who sits with me tell their story in their own words, to hear their strengths and abilities on their journey through life. All of you is welcome.

As we discover the root cause of these struggles-we will soon discover and move towards a customized treatment plan that is specific for your required level of care. This may include a meditation practice, talk therapy, client centred therapy, acceptance therapy. Most of my clients see a gradual improvement over the first few months of treatment and sustained improvement thereafter.
