Embrace the potential for true change at any stage of life. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, negative thought patterns, concerns about your child, PTSD, or facing separation, I offer tailored short-term counseling for specific challenges and long-term therapy to explore deeper issues and patterns. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and strengths. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, DBT, and EFT, I'm committed to guiding you in overcoming symptoms and achieving lasting relief.
My core specialties include trauma/PTSD, depression/anxiety, relationships, and addictions. With over 14 years of specialized training in these areas and beyond, my goal is to help clients develop new behaviours and choices that lead to a happier, healthier life, fostering strong relationships with themselves and others.
As a mother of two wonderful boys, I am passionate about making a positive impact in our province. If I'm not available, I have a dedicated team of over 30 counselors with diverse specialties ready to assist you. Book a free 20-minute consultation with me or one of our therapists today.
