The difficult experiences of life can add up weighing you down and making life hard. If you are tired of carrying the burdens of the past but don't know how to lighten the load I can help. I start by listening to you and understanding your story. With genuine warmth I provide a safe space to explore your discomfort and help relieve the burdens that you carry. The best counsellors are merchants of hope.

Most importantly to me I want to support those seeking therapy to feel safe, comfortable, heard, and understood. I have practiced in the field of Social Work/ Counselling since 2011. I have an undergraduate degree in Indigenous Social Work (BISW) as well as a graduate degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Regina. I have worked for non-profit agencies, Ministry of Social Services, Child and Youth Mental Health, and as an in patient Addictions Treatment facility. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am passionate in the work that I do and love supporting people through life challenges.

Hi, I help people with trauma and anxiety. I have counselled/worked with many types of trauma over the years and continue to do so. In my counselling practice, I believe the client is the expert. Thus, I believe in a collaborative, empathic approach. Whatever your issues, needs, goals are, we can work collectively towards your healing, preferred goals and future. Are you seeking empowerment of self? Independence? Growing your self-esteem? Healing? My compassionate, trauma informed approach to counselling will focus on you and your personal journey to healing your sense of self and relationships with others.

I provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, values, and life experiences that contributed to them. I can help you discover the underlying issues that interfere with your sense of wholeness and inner peace, build your strengths, and develop healthier coping strategies. We'll create a sense of balance in your life so that you can continue to face life's challenges more confidently. Attachment theory is foundational in my understanding of the human person as a relational being that is meant to be thriving in a healthy, secure relationships at every stage of life.

Everyone needs someone to talk to. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel free to express yourself. If you're feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, it can feel overwhelming. You may not be sure how to navigate your feelings. Having an experienced professional to listen to you and offer tools that can support you is important.

**To provide the highest level of care for my current clients, I am not currently accepting new clients for counselling services at this time.** I work with clients of all ages in the areas of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), self-harm and suicidality, relationship concerns, work concerns, parenting issues, life transitions, self-worth, spirituality, chronic health conditions, and pain. I believe in providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where people can share openly and explore the difficult and painful parts of life.

Life can be hard. When our life seems to drag from one situation, one crisis to the next, it often becomes overwhelming. Most times we can deal with that, but there seem to be some things that just need to be spoken. I am willing to listen, to hear and to validate your story. Together we can help you find coping tools, gain insights and make positive lasting changes in your life. Whether you are looking to improve your mood or relationships, are struggling, or are just looking for a safe and supportive place to talk, I can help.

I specifically work with individuals and families experiencing results of trauma, relationship problems, and mental health issues. My treatment approach is unique and life changing. I combine the latest research in neuroscience with the "whole person" approach. This allows my clients to understand themselves better and to gain insight into why they are the way they are. It is intended to bring hope and discover power within that will help them heal emotionally, physically and spiritually. I am dedicated to empower my clients to experience healing and freedom in relationship to self and others.

Life is busy and demanding, often throwing unexpected curve balls our way. Finding a safe and supportive place to discuss these unexpected occurrences and ground yourself is a great first step towards achieving balance and working through unresolved issues and traumas. I am a firm believer that you are the expert of your self and your journey; I am here to meet you where you are at and help you to navigate, to slow down, and to bring awareness to those hidden details that often go unnoticed. I do not believe in rushing toward an end goal, but rather taking time and space to understand what it is that has occurred and moving forward.

I specialize in working with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

I have a Masters Degree in Counselling. My focus has been working with is Youth, Young Adults, and Adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, life transitions, personal growth, and healthy relationships. I am passionate about helping people author their life story with meaning and purpose despite challenging life circumstances. My goal is to be a fellow traveler empowering others as they navigate their way through life; helping clients define problems, identifying strengths and potential steps in their own wellness. I provide a non-judgmental setting open to all.

We never really know what life will throw at us. Negative circumstances will try to silence you and shut you down, stealing the joy and peace in your life. Finding a place to share that struggle can open the door to new ways of looking at things which can change the way you feel and how you respond to those circumstances. Restoring hope. Rebuilding the broken. Rewriting possibilities.

Pause. Exhale. Are you tired of talking but still feel stuck? Have you hit a dead end and still experience unresolved or unexplained thoughts, feelings, pain or other symptoms? I help people improve mental and physical health and performance through the application of behavioral learning principles to breathing physiology. This is not yoga. This is not meditation. This is applied psychophysiology. Breath Behavioral Analysis with biofeedback assisted breathing retraining, combined with Somatic Breath Therapy give you the tools to completely shift your breath and life. What if it could be as easy as adjusting your exhale?

We are our stories. Whether it is a story of pain and suffering, grief and loss, trauma, or stress and anxiety, our stories make us who we are, and those stories deserve to be heard. I believe everyone has a story to tell and that through telling these stories we can experience healing and rewrite the stories that make us who we are. With experience with grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, my desire is to help clients discover their own resilience and power to write the stories of their life and move forward through the darkest times.

And with the breath of life comes the journey. A path sometimes dotted with pain and struggle. Do you want to emerge from a life of shame, loss, pain, rejection, and fear? Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, or other life challenges, there is always hope and healing. Wherever you land in your transformation, I will help you in a non-judging, compassionate, empathic, client-centered space that offers hope in the midst of your darkness. I welcome you to a safe space that cultivates healing and wholeness.

I have over 12 years of experience in the human services field. I have a special interest in working with people who deal with anxiety, addiction and those who are looking for career and vocational services. Some of my other specialties include depression, divorce/separation, recent life changes and stress management. It is rewarding for me to watch my clients achieve success with their professional life and grow in their personal lives. Due to the fact that I am a Registered Social Worker, the majority of insurers will reimburse you for my services. I also provide counselling through the NIHB program for First Nations clients.

I have been in the education and social wellness field for almost 20 years, specializing in counselling individuals and couples to live purposeful, joy filled lives by focusing on Mental and Emotional work first. As Alfred Adler suggested, “first we think, then we feel, and then we act”. I help individuals navigate through issues related to stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions using techniques supplied by REBT, Reality Therapy, SFBT, and Motivational Interviewing. My approach supports client competencies (strengths) and solution based therapy. I also have training in Art and Narrative Therapy approaches.

Find balance in mind and body. Whether you have a mental health concern, wishing to improve a relationship, or trying to cope with a disability, we can work together to find your strengths and move towards positive change.

Struggles at school or at work? Feel like you are underachieving based on your potential and the amount of time and effort you put into tasks? Do you wonder whether you, or your child, may have a learning disability, ADHD, or other challenges to your learning and/or effective performance? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a psycho-educational assessment may be a helpful step in discovering more about your learning profile, potentially confirming a diagnosis, and recommending accommodations, interventions, and/or strategies to best support your academic or vocational success.

Note: My current wait time for new clients is approximately three months. Life can be hard. Do you feel stuck in the past, sad about the current state of your life, worried about the future, unable to change self-defeating patterns of behaviour? Let me help you find a way to move forward. I see adolescents, adults and couples across the life span to address a wide range of issues, including: depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationship problems, physical and emotional abuse, problems within the workplace, grief and loss, and difficulties with life transitions. I warmly welcome clients from all walks of life.
