Sometimes life can give you challenges that seem impossible. You may feel overwhelmed by stress, responsibilities, or expectations. Or you want something to be different, but don't know what. My goal is to provide a space where you are seen and heard. I bring my life experience to better understand yours. Change is hard, but not impossible. Together we will find the sticky points and develop a plan to get unstuck.

Do you want to understand why you think and act the way you do? Are you tired of constantly managing your reactions and emotions? Your first session or your formal assessment will provide this understanding as well asoutline a clear way to change! I enjoy working with others to resolve ongoing personal blocks so that they can pursue a passionate, healthy, vibrant life. I’ll provide you with new skills, new insights, and/or activities to engage in to enrich your life and take that next step forward. I tailor each activity and intervention to you as a unique person so you can rebuild and heal.

I provide services in two provinces: Alberta and British Columbia. I work with individuals who are seeking to understand and explore their life patterns as they pertain to relationships whether that is with colleagues, family, or romantic partners. With the ever increasing demand on our day to day living, burnout has become a more prominent theme - I help clients explore and address the topic of burnout. Sometimes life can change suddenly and that is why I also work with persons who have experienced a life changing diagnosis in exploring the complex feelings around what this may mean for their life going forward.

I have both professional training and personal experience with hard and painful situations. Whether you feel hopeless, unsettled, conflicted or downright angry at your circumstances or maybe you just sense there is way more to this life than you are currently experiencing, I believe I can help. With my direct approach, it won’t take long to get to the heart of the issues, the core problems, so we can work together to find the best possible solutions. I come alongside individuals or couples, adults and teens, to help understand or change perspective so you can rewrite the narrative of your life.
