Embrace the potential for true change at any stage of life. Whether contending with anxiety, negative thought cycles, concerns about your child, PTSD, anxiety, or facing a separation, I offer tailored short-term counseling for specific challenges and long-term therapy to delve into historical issues and enduring patterns. Together, we craft a personalized treatment plan aligned with your current needs, motivations, and strengths. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT, and more, I'm driven to guide you in overcoming symptoms and related distress.
My core specialties include trauma/PTSD, depression/anxiety, relationships, and addictions. I have over 14 years of accumulated specialized training in these areas and other wide-ranging issues. My goal is to help my clients cultivate new behaviours/choices and create a happier and healthier life that includes strong relationships with self and others.
I am a mother of two beautiful boys and I genuinely want to make a difference in our beautiful province. If I am not available to support you, I have a large team of 30+ counsellors with varying specialties ready to step in. Book a free 20 min consultation with myself or one of our therapists today.
