Some of life's problems are hard to solve alone. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure how.

Wherever you are in your process, I'll meet you there with warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity to create the changes you're aiming for.

You might be experiencing distress from trauma or challenging life events or you’re finding it hard to cope. Maybe communication in your relationships has broken down leaving you more alone than connected. Here’s where I can help. I take the time to hear your story, explore the roots of your struggles and how it’s affecting you, and explore how to help you navigate through it. Together, we then create a plan that fits you, to help you regain a sense of hope, balance and vitality in life. Life is too short to be lived in significant distress, and sometimes we need a helping hand.

At times life can become complicated by stress and adversity which is difficult to navigate on our own. My counselling philosophy is grounded in the knowledge that everyone has strengths and resources that can help them thrive and all of us need genuine caring relationships to live our best lives. Unfortunately, the challenges in our lives can cause us to lose sight of our strengths and strain key relationships leaving us feeling lost, confused and overwhelmed. At these times, counselling can help to explore these thoughts and feelings, identify meaningful solutions and restore hope and overall resilience.

When we reflect on our lives, we each have our own unique set of experiences. These experiences and the interconnections between our biological, psychological, and socio-environmental factors shape who we are as an individual. Exposures to different types of events at times can be difficult to process and work through on our own. My goal is to advocate for my clients by developing appropriate supports and maintaining an inclusive and culturally sensitive space, that welcomes individuals from all walks of life.

Are you looking for the right fit and just can’t seem to find it? Frustrated by feeling like you’re the one educating the clinicians? I work with clients who have trouble finding professionals who understand them. Clients whose lives, relationships, and understandings differ from the neurotypical, heteronormative, and monogamous centered by western society. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, know that you are not alone!
