Accepting new clients. If you are going through a difficult time right now, I believe counselling can help. I take a person centered approach to counselling. My goal is to create a confidential and safe place where you can share your struggles and vent your emotions and frustrations. I have 18 years experience in counselling work and I have worked within the Canadian Armed Forces, the Correctional Service of Canada and Youth Corrections. My approach to helping clients focuses upon developing a close therapeutic counselling relationship, compassionate listening, and being non-judgmental. I have a MEd(Counselling) from Acadia.

Life can be challenging. We all live unique experiences and face obstacles on a daily basis. This can leave us feeling extremely isolated and overwhelmed. Seeking support form a therapist allows you to share your experience in a safe, welcoming environment. When working with clients, I strive to support them in identifying their strengths and values to improve their quality of life and empower them to take the necessary steps to achieve their therapeutic goals. I believe we are all unique and have individual needs. This means that I will tailor our work together to fit your unique experience.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.

Feeling overwhelmed? Difficulties managing your emotions? Stuck in depression, anxiety, grief, or chronic pain? Finding your relationship(s) a challenge? I have over two decades of experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing mental health issues, trauma/PTSD, difficulties with interpersonal relationships, chronic pain, grief, life transitions, and sexuality. I don't condone toxic positivity, but I do believe in radical acceptance. That doesn't translate into complacency, but acceptance that there are limits to our ability to control our surroundings.

Accepting new clients. Do you find yourself struggling on your journey through life? Are you struggling with ADHD patterns, such as organization, motivation, social relationships, or focus?

Together, we can work to address your challenges and focus on helping you to find fulfillment in life. I offer a place for you, no matter where you are in life. A diagnosis of ADHD is not necessary to access services.

With over 10 years experience as a trauma therapist, my practice is strongly committed to you and your needs for support and healing. I am especially passionate about working with folks in the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy, post-partum, and the early years of parenting. I have both clinical training and lived experience in navigating the perinatal period, and genuinely grasp the challenges of this time where folks are often bombarded with information and advice from the internet, social media, health and social systems, family members, and friends; much of which can feel more overwhelming than helpful.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed? That it’s hard to find balance in your life? Talk therapy can help, even if it feels daunting at first.

Stories—the stories we tell ourselves—are powerful, and yet we can change them. Often, the first step toward change is being open to learning about yourself and the roles you play in your stories.
