When life’s challenges feel like they’ve become too much, you might find that you’re struggling to manage work, relationships and parenting; you may feel isolated and have difficulty connecting with your partner; perhaps you feel stuck in the same old thoughts and behavioural patterns; or you have a hard time recognizing your old self. When this happens, knowing which way to turn, or reaching out for support can feel daunting.

I offer individual counselling and wellness strategies that empower you to align your actions with who you really are, living by what you value. I offer couples counselling that helps rebuild the connection you once had, so you feel more closely aligned with your life partner.

In addition to having a Master of Social Work and training in multiple evidence-based approaches for both individuals and couples, I have years of experience as a mindfulness teacher, all of which can help you rediscover connection to your inner self. And help you to find ways to reconnect and communicate more effectively with your life partner.
