My training and experience have included a range of symptom severity levels, from psychiatric hospital inpatients to high functioning individuals experiencing more common difficulties. Some of my clients are experiencing difficulties with work, school, or relationships. Others have diagnosed psychological impairments. Regardless of the specific challenges faced, all of my clients are seeking to live healthier, more satisfying lives. The greatest satisfaction I find in my work is in providing services that genuinely help people achieve desired improvements.

Losing a beloved pet can feel devastating and isolating. The bond you shared was unique, and its absence may leave you struggling with grief that others don’t always understand. You may feel sadness, guilt, or even question your identity without your companion by your side. For some, being around animals can also bring up fear or anxiety, making it difficult to feel comfortable in everyday situations. Whether you’re coping with pet loss or navigating fears about animals, I provide a safe, supportive space where your feelings are validated and your healing journey is honored.

Are you feeling challenged by life right now? Have you been struggling with your work, your health, your family environment or an important loss? Are you looking for support as you move through a transition in your life?

Your mind is constantly telling you that you need to do more, but it's hard just to get out of bed in the morning. Chronic pain makes everyday tasks really hard. Everyone around you seems normal and you wonder how they have it all together. Maybe family and friends are supportive, but you worry about being a burden. Or maybe your life is good on paper and nobody sees your struggles, nobody sees your pain. As someone who has lived with chronic pain and anxiety, I know how hard life can get. I understand how isolating it can all be.

I believe we all have many strengths although at times we may lose sight of them—I provide honest feedback to help mirror these strengths back to you. I believe that we all, at one time or another, find it difficult to explore our thoughts and feelings—I honour such acts of courage, bringing confidentiality, non-judgement, and unconditional care to session. Working at a pace that feels right for you, I provide support and gentle challenges as you process your experiences and develop insight into your life so that you may heal, grow, and ultimately be free to live your life in a way that is fulfilling and true to who you are.

Sometimes life can be a real kick in the pants, get messy, bog you down, or is just plain crappy. And that sucks. You might be experiencing difficult feelings, have challenges in connecting with others, or feel like coping with day to day stuff is too much. Maybe there have been ongoing patterns in your life that you want to stop repeating, or perhaps you have just had a big change, like a major loss, or change in your health. Whatever it may be, you recognize that you want something different for yourself. And that's a big deal.

As the seasons change, many of us may feel the impact.
Shorter days, colder weather, and shifting routines can bring up stress, low mood, or a sense of being stuck. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can offer the support you need.

You might be here because something in your life feels off balance. Maybe you’re navigating a major transition, feeling stretched by parenting or caregiving, managing anxiety or stress, or struggling with self-doubt or burnout. Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who are doing their best but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of their next step. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what’s happening.

Have you been asking yourself, Is this really it? Maybe wondering, How did I end up here, and what comes next? Perhaps a quiet part of you already senses it’s time for change. I work with busy individuals and professionals who are tired of coping in silence. Having spent ten years in the federal public service and being raised by a dedicated, now-retired nurse, I understand the pressure to hold it all together. My own experience with burnout taught me the importance of living intentionally. Now I help clients reconnect with their soul, align with their values, and rediscover a steadier sense of peace and wholeness within.
