Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

My philosophy for therapy is to create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment for a person, couple, or family to explore challenging issues in their life. By using a client-centered approach, I work with combining thoughts, emotions, self-reflection and meaning making of the physical sensations felt within the body to support clients in achieving their goals. I believe my role is to accompany clients on a journey towards balance, growth, strength, and consolidation.

A Clinical Social Worker and a Marriage and Family Therapist for the past 13 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a wide variety of roles. Research studies have shown that forming a strong felt connection, between therapist and client holds the key to development of a therapeutic alliance, and in-turn success in therapy. Additionally specific use of therapeutic methods and/or approaches designed to meet the needs of the client also deserve merit. My goal with each and every client is to work hard at forming that unique combination of alliance and approach that optimises success.

Philosophical consulting provides practices for life, whether you are adjusting to major changes, in a new stage of life, or confronted with existential questions.

These practices of knowing and doing are available and part of life strategies.

I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I see my role in the counselling and psychotherapy process as a facilitator. I facilitate hope, growth, and strength in my clients as I encourage their development towards a clearer understanding of self. With a clearer understanding of self one can move in the direction of greater well-being and a happier, more fulfilled, life. I will walk with you in your discovery of finding your inner resources and growth. I will facilitate this self discovery using your unique experiences in a safe, confidential, and nonjudgemental therapeutic environment.

As an individual and couple's therapist, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and personal challenges.

I believe therapy is a great asset in getting you through a difficult time and moving towards feeling better. I would be happy to be your therapist and accompany you on this new experience.

EVENING AND WEEKEND appointments available. Are you dealing with depression, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors, or difficult relationships? Have you tried different strategies but have been unsuccessful in solving your issues? My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you. Clients see me because they are struggling and feel like they are trapped or at a standstill and no matter what they have tried they can't pull themselves out of their current situation. I help clients understand themselves in ways no one has ever taught them before, allowing them to explore healthy pathways and to mak positive changes.

I believe that choosing to tell and own our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. My commitment is to create a safe, non-judgemental, and warm place where you can feel seen and fully heard.

I support people as they work through various mental health difficulties, relational issues, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, overwhelming experiences, and identity. I have a special interest and research focus on emotion regulation issues (uncontrolled/overcontrolled emotion), intimacy, shame, and anxiety disorders.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure what steps to take? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and anxious by every day issues? Feeling like you have no where to turn to deal with your challenges? Working together I can support you in finding the right path for you, step by step. In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, we will find the solutions that are meaningful to your life, and help you get where you want to be. I believe that even the smallest changes can have a great impact on mental health and quality of life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I enjoy working with individuals who are on a journey of self-discovery, which may include unresolved issues from the past, or difficulty finding the path forward. As someone who has had an eventful journey so far, I am happy to share my combined clinical knowledge, and life lessons learned, with those who are searching for answers to their own questions. I help clients understand how they move through the world, how the mind works, how to develop better coping and communication skills, and how to improve resiliency and functioning.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment. My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."
