Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

I have 25 years experience working with children, youth, families and individuals who face challenges with anxiety, parent child conflict, substance use, trauma , depression and who may be struggling with spiritual meanings.

As a client-centered Family Therapist/Counsellor, I have the privilege of working with families, relationships and individuals. I help find the strength to create life changes, by identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, while working toward increasing an overall sense of well-being. I believe that a strong, trusting, and comfortable therapeutic relationship coupled with a compassionate and respectful approach fosters a safe environment. It is here that difficult topics and the sense of being "stuck" can be discussed and explored, until new/different ways for sustainable change can be found and implemented.
