It takes courage to make changes that result in personal growth and a better quality of life. I am committed to working with people to access their personal strengths and resources while fostering self-awareness, insight and meeting goals. My commitment to those I work alongside is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship based on mutual trust, work collaboratively and recognize the individual as an expert in their life and healing journey. I approach my work from a compassionate, non-judgemental, open and curious stance to create a safe environment that results in self-understanding and self-directed progress.

Accepting new clients! I work with individuals in the second half of life and I especially enjoy working with adults who have, or suspect they have, ADHD. Clients who choose me are often experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, and perhaps relationship issues. They are often looking to heal from past issues, stop dysfunctional patterns, set boundaries, reduce stress, restore a sense of balance, live in alignment with their values, develop useful strategies, and establish a better relationship with themselves.

About Me: In my practice I have observed that past events unconsciously continue to shape our reactions to our present situations, however, some coping skills that did work to solve conflict, are no longer working for us. Together in a safe space we can work toward your healing and learning coping skills that will work for you. I am here to support you and to work with you, as you discover, that your past does not have to predict your future. I would like to offer you an accepting and safe space to process your feelings. I am excited for you on this journey and am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

My goal in practice is to provide a safe space for my clients to process and explore past and current experiences to better shape and thrive in their futures. Often, we have systems in place that no longer suit our current needs and support is needed to help identify those unhelpful behaviours and replace them with more fulfilling practices. Whether you are facing challenges with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationships in your life, I provide an empathetic and judgement free space to support you in taking steps in the direction that is best for you.

I have dedicated myself to becoming curious in supporting people as they heal from trauma or any adverse life experience. From one single event or a lifetime of suffering I have the honour of working with people in guiding them to reclaim a sense of agency +choice in their life. I aim to offer direct, practical guidance + action-orientated practices to help people restore their vital capacity for resilience in the aftermath of trauma + chronic/toxic stress. I work both with adults + older adolescents who wish to experiment healing through a holistic lens.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes it's a more immediate or situational concern (ie relationship breakdown), while other times therapy is sought out because of a long standing or historical issue (ie mental health diagnosis). What I have learned over my many years of practice is that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support. But change is possible. Realizing that you are not alone in your struggles is very powerful. Having a safe and nonjudgmental space to process your concerns and establish a path forward- in a way that is meaningful to you- is what I believe every client deserves.

I am well versed in providing counselling services to children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I enjoy working with people who are struggling in the various stages and different aspects of their lives. For adolescents and adults, this could involve understanding and better managing anxiety, depression, grief or unexpected changes. It could also be in a supportive role as clients navigate learning about their new psychiatric diagnosis and how to best manage it. Or it may be working with children teaching them about their emotions, worry and adapting to big changes in their lives. The help I can provide is broad and varies.
