As a tradesperson who's walked the path of recovery and reinvention, I understand facing challenges that impact every aspect of our lives and relationships. My clients, whether in suits or work boots, find someone who speaks their language. I don't just offer therapy; I bring professional training and lived experience. My toolkit? Integrated Wellness and Life Skills Counselling – the same fundamentals that turned my life around. Here, real talk leads to real change.
My approach is practical, strengths-based, and grounded in personal awareness.Informed by positive psychology and holistic wellness principles, I help clients slow things down, identify patterns, and clarify what matters most. The focus is on insight, skill-building, and decisions that translate into everyday life—without overcomplicating the process.
The first step towards change is the most important one. When you're dealing with personal hurdles, recovery & sobriety, or seeking a path to better well-being, I'm here for you. Let's find you the tools and insights you need for a more balanced and fulfilling life. When you are ready to start, I'm here to help.

"
My therapy types are suited to discover and understand the thoughts, feelings, and actions that are associated with our problems. When we understand the " What..." that causes harmful coping, we can create a " How & the Why..." to make new choices that create new thoughts and feelings. And, honestly and simply, help create a healthier and happier life.
