I have a profound interest in providing support to parents struggling with the loneliness and disconnection that often comes with becoming a parent. New parenthood was by far the most transformative, demanding, and rewarding experience in my life so far. I understand the many challenges that families face with regards to conception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period and I am here to walk alongside you through the many ups and downs of this period in your life, and beyond. I have completed my certification in Perinatal Mental Health which includes prenatal, pregnancy and the postpartum periods.

Are you struggling with your mental health, or are you overwhelmed with life's challenges? People are more anxious, stressed, and worried than ever about managing their relationships, work, lifestyles, and life transitions. Your mind and body might experience long-term issues if you overlook your needs and don't take time for yourself. Pursuing a better life shouldn't be so challenging, and you deserve mental health support that aims to comprehend your experiences and needs and to help you achieve a happier and healthier life.

When you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or generally difficult emotions, even the smallest of tasks can become overwhelming. This can bring up guilt and shame, feeding back into those depressive or anxious emotions, sometimes feeling like a never ending loop. It can be an incredibly frustrating and isolating experience. Relationships can feel strained, it may be challenging to communicate your experience or to receive support. Whether you feel yourself already at a breaking point or are starting to notice feelings of unease mounting up, therapy can be a place where you no longer have to hold these things alone.

Do you or someone you love struggle with alcoholism, drug addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Whether you are still active in your addiction, already in recovery, recently relapsed or dealing with the anguish of having an addict in your family, you are facing profound difficulties. No matter what the addiction-alcohol, drugs, prescription meds, sex, or gambling-its effects are devastating. I can help. These addictions destroy lives and families, who too often continue enabling behaviors that fuel the addiction.

At Compassionate Counselling, I provide therapy to individuals, couples and parents. I offer both psychotherapy and relationship coaching. I believe in the importance of building a strong, solid, trusting relationship with all my clients and respect the need to remain open and flexible to the differing and changing needs of all individuals. My professional style is relaxed, gentle and welcoming. I work on the principle that a good therapist is like a cast on a broken leg, there for awhile to support the injury while healing and then gently removed as the leg repairs itself.

I am passionate about helping people get to the root of their problems. Sometimes the "root" of the issue manifests itself in painful ways such as anxiety, depression, eating issues, or even just difficulty getting through day to day life. I seek to help my clients gain awareness and acceptance of their emotions and needs and empower them to make new choices that cultivate the life they want. I help clients navigate the difficulty that major life transitions present such as, loss, illness, divorce, family changes and career issues. Where it is relevant, I help explore how those emotions relate to past patterns and experiences.
