"Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions."

Together we will help you regain holistic health in a safe, confidential space."

""We do not need to be sick, to get better". It takes courage to ask for help, and together, we can find your strength and resilience amid the challenges you may be facing. My approach is Emotions Focused Therapy. Emotion can be uncomfortable and downright scary so it makes sense that we create ways to avoid this pain- we withdraw, lash out, numb out, develop physical ailments, and more. My goal is to get you in touch with the usefulness of emotions- what they tell us that we need, and how we can go about getting those needs met."

"I enjoy working with people who are struggling with self-image, emotional issues, anger and basically any issues that tend to get in the way of expressing ourselves fully as healthy individuals. With 36 years of practice I have learned that every client I work with is unique.

Everything I do is dependant on what the client is telling me, verbally and non-verbally."

"Human beings are complicated- and so often we attempt to reach out to others using words to express our thoughts, our emotions, and our behaviours. With children/youth, we see additional communication barriers because of fewer words and limited life experiences. Being part of a family system should bring safety and emotional support to each family member, but sometimes the family, on its own, cannot do this. This is my work- we become partners in the process of change- discovering strengths, and building on them."
