Hello there! I'm glad you made it to my profile. Here is some information about how I work: I help people who are feeling stuck in some area of their lives. There are many different ways that we can get stuck. Maybe it is a behaviour that you are having a hard time changing. Maybe it is an emotional state that you can't seem to get rid of.

I believe that every person is equipped to make positive changes in his or her life to face challenges. Sometimes, the challenges that one may face can be so painful that it blinds the person from seeing potential solutions.

And together we will work to determine what should be done, to improve your situation. I believe that we are all different, and that we deal with problems differently. I am flexible in the approach I use, to suit what is best for you.

The decision to access counselling is a personal one. Whether you've been to a counsellor before, or you are just starting to explore the options, thank you. Not just for reading this - but for taking the time to look into what is available and what may be right for you. People generally come to therapy for a reason, such as a specific event that they would like to discuss, or to work through uncomfortable emotions. Together, we can prioritize goals, explore and work through issues, develop new coping strategies, and create a plan to determine next steps.

SPECIALIZING IN POSTPARTUM AND PERINATAL SUPPORT. Nothing in life prepares you for your new role as mom. You can read all the books, take the classes, talk to all your friends, but until that squalling newborn is placed in your arms - no one can explain to you what it all means and feels like. And just as each of our relationships are unique to who we are- so is our adjustment into becoming mothers. We will carry our strengths but also our wounds into this new role. And although we may expect endless joy we may also find depression, anxiety , anger, or hopelessness.
