Personal challenges as well as current global concerns can generate feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. Counselling can offer an opportunity to learn tangible skills to manage these difficulties and life stressors more effectively. If you're struggling with unexplained emotions, physical pain, or ongoing anxiety and depression, you're not alone. Past experiences like loss, betrayals or trauma can continue to affect your current emotional and physical well-being. We can work together to help you attain emotional relief and help you move toward positive personal growth.
With over 30 years experience across various settings including children's mental health agencies, school boards, family service agencies, university/colleges, etc., I’m passionate about supporting clients through life challenges and I enjoy witnessing the changes they can achieve through a positive counselling experience.
I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which to explore your current concerns. I integrate a client-centered approach to help you address and release the emotional and behavioral impacts of grief, illness, relationship struggles, and other challenging life events.

I integrate a variety of therapeutic interventions not only to reduce negative cognitions and beliefs but also to release emotions/sensations which can become stuck or imbedded in the body. Many of these interventions can help resolve negative experiences content free, which means the client does not have to disclose the nature of the upsetting event.
