Life is not always what we’ve envisioned; it throws curveballs when we least expect it. I work with children, teens, and adults to help them heal from past hurts and look forward to the future. Anxiety, trauma, anger, feeling overwhelmed or lost are just some of the difficulties my clients face. Together, we work to gain new insight, access strengths, build resilience and learn skills to navigate these struggles with confidence. It brings me great joy to support my clients through this process and work collaboratively to create a sense of hope, and renewed, positive sense of self.

Are you feeling stretched to your capacity, undervalued, insignificant or under-appreciated? Has your mood started to affect your self-image, and what value you think you add or bring to the table or the relationship? All feelings are valid, but not all thoughts are facts!

I view therapy as a collaborative process. My goal is to be emphatic, nonjudgmental, and provide a sanctuary as you explore the choices and relationships that are most important to you. Transformation, growth and healing are realistic, attainable goals for your life.

~Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do~- Brené Brown. Life presents us with all types of road blocks, situations and experiences that may have our body and mind reacting in different ways or feelings. Children, adolescents and adults all experience feelings that provide internal and external responses. Coping with the way our mind and body feels through these situations does not have to be done alone. Your goals and feelings are important. You deserve a safe space to process and create intentional coping skills.

I believe that psychotherapy can hep people achieve the highest level of emotional, psychological, and relationship functioning possible. By gaining insight into the patterns that no longer serve us and the confidence, skills, and support to make meaningful changes, genuine growth and fulfillment become possible. Whether it's difficulty coping with stressful fast paced lives, career or relationship issues, struggles with mood or anxiety, or simply wanting to understand ourselves better, psychotherapy can provide the expert guidance and confidential, non-judgemental, safe space needed to help you achieve your goals.

Counselling can help you to develop a different relationship with the “chatter” in your head that tells you that you ”aren’t good enough” and that keeps you from daring greatly.  It can help you to look at the stories in your life that counter your shame—and give them a voice.  It can help you to acknowledge and accept loss in a compassionate manner as you would want for a friend.  It can help you to recognize your relationship with your mental health and how you interact with it.  It allows you to sort through your values and support you living in a way that aligns with what you want.  Counselling looks to support these and more.
