Life can be beautiful, filled with joy and meaningful experiences. Life can also be messy, confusing and very painful. When we don’t know how to navigate these experiences, we can be left feeling either disconnected or overwhelmed by our emotions and unable to show up effectively in our lives and in our relationships. I want you to know that you are not alone. For over a decade, I have provided assessment and psychotherapy to individuals struggling with mental health and relationship challenges. I’m particularly passionate about the area of relationships – the parenting relationship, couple relationship, and relationship to self.

The world is full of lonely people…In life, we take many paths. Some paths are smooth, while some might be rough and challenging. Sometimes, on a particularly difficult path, we can lose sight of our goals, loved ones, and the connection to our inner selves. On the surface, it may feel like we do not have the strength to get through these hardships. But I believe that we can find it within ourselves to forge new pathways towards happiness. Therapy is empowering! By working through emotions, thoughts, and feelings, you can grow into the person you want to be, and achieve your full potential.

Offering Eating Disorder Support - If you are parenting a child struggling with an eating disorder I can help. Eating disorders are serious medical illnesses with life threatening consequences. They are NOT a choice. Don’t wait to get help for you or your loved one.

Children are constantly evolving and growing and during their journey they sometimes need some support to encourage and help them to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. During this time parents are also growing and evolving. Parenting can be both the most challenging and rewarding experience we have but sometimes during those challenging times we need some support.

Does the idea of counselling seem uncomfortable? Life brings challenges that are difficult to face alone, but they can be hard to talk about. Having a safe place where you can navigate these challenges is important. We can all benefit from having someone truly listen to and support us. I desire to highlight the strengths that each client possesses and help as you see your world through a different lens.

Our landscape has changed. Our capacity for contribution is tied to our capacity to navigate life with confidence. We live in an era of unprecedented stress, pressure and overwhelm. A lack of confidence and increased disconnection is a strong predictor of overall dissatisfaction in life and decreased mental health. People are struggling more than ever, to navigate their life and need real solutions. Most therapy scratches the surface and leaves us frustrated and hopeless. Our method is different. We provide a practical, evidence-based framework to build confidence and connection quickly, and for the long.
