It's time to create the calm and meaningful life you've been hoping for. Stress and trauma affect how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety and phobias, depression, sleep issues, chronic pain, addiction, relationship issues, and general malaise. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so that distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

I have dedicated my career to working with first responders.
I have helped many individuals navigate the uncertainties and challenges of trauma in the workplace. Often individuals will discuss symptoms such as poor sleep, low stress tolerance, anger/irritability and not feeling present or unable to experiencing joy in their personal life. Many do not link how work can be negatively impacting them.

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer. I went into journalism and that’s where I figured out why I was so obsessed with stories. True stories heal us. I have spent the last 30 years, both personally and professionally, in the field of addiction. I became increasingly sad as I witnessed the suffering that goes along with substance abuse and behavioural addictions. I learned as a volunteer and mentor that helping people uncover their true story also creates healing. So, I went to Yorkville University and obtained a master’s degree in counselling psychology.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t visible, i.e., grief, guilt, exhaustion, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. It can leave you feeling like there's no space left to just be. Maybe you're doing your best to support others while feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again? Or maybe you're simply tired of dissociating, of pretending, of staying composed while suffering in silence. If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
