Therapists in K8N
I view counselling as a courageous act and as an opportunity for personal growth. I believe those seeking counselling are the experts of their own lives and I act as a neutral third party without judgment to be a sounding board/cheerleader. Together we put the puzzle pieces together to make sense of questions and move forward. My practice is guided by client-centred therapy and my approach uses a variety of modalities including behavioural and cognitive-behavioural therapies as well as other therapies for more of an eclectic stance.

Often, my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burdened by past traumas, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They yearn for relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Many seek a path toward self-acceptance, healthier relationships, and a more balanced life. Their goals are as unique as their stories—some wish to break free from chronic stress or persistent sadness, while others hope to reconnect with their bodies and build resilience from the inside out. Ultimately, they desire meaningful change and the skills to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Currently accepting new clients. Many of us -young and older- experience trials in life and in our relationships that challenge our ability to function, feel secure and prosper.

I support adults as they navigate life transitions and the accompanying anxiety, depression, grief and substance use.

At certain times in their lives, people experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. When their usual modes of coping no longer work for them, they feel overwhelmed and may want to learn new ways of coping through psychotherapy. Even though ways of responding based on past experiences may no longer be helpful, people tend to repeat old patterns of behaving, thinking and feeling. In psychotherapy I can assist you to understand these "habits", to see alternatives and to change.

When we are chronically stressed or face an overwhelming event, all our body systems are affected. This can result in symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, poor digestion, chronic pain, irritability, poor concentration and relationship difficulties. It radiates into every part of life. In partnership, we work toward new engagement and vitality through awareness between memory, sensation, and emotion. To become better, you have to feel better, releasing stress and trauma. As a somatic therapist, I bring 35 years of counselling to effectively identify and resolve personal and professional challenges. I offer supplemental online video counselling.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming—especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Whether you’re navigating the impact of trauma, working in a high-stress environment, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to break, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I support youth and adults with processing and healing from trauma, stressors, and challenging life experiences. These stressors show up in our bodies in several ways which may include anxiety, chronic pain, health difficulties, sleep disturbance, etc. or just not feeling yourself. The folks I support may have experienced childhood trauma or attachment difficulties, or they may be experiencing increased anxiety and stress due to work, relationships, school or more recent challenging life experiences. I strongly believe in the youth’s caregiver(s) involvement in therapy process to better support their youth outside therapy sessions.

Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected – from themselves, from others, or from life in general. Stress, trauma, and daily demands take their toll, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward.
I believe healing begins with reconnection to what matters most. In our work together, we slow things down, make space for whatever has been hard to hold, and gently rediscover the parts of you that have been lost along the way. My approach is emotionally grounded, trauma-informed, and collaborative. Together, we co-create a space where healing feels possible and meaningful change can take root.
