Great-West Life Therapists in London, ON

Sometimes, life becomes more than we can comfortably manage. We may feel unfulfilled, sad, irritable, worried and disconnected from who we are, who we love and the life we want to live. We may feel powerless to change our situation. However, change is possible!

Whether it is a slight ‘tweak’ or a deeper concern you wish to explore, I am happy to provide support. With new strategies firmly in place, you are empowered to create the life you desire!

Attention parents. Is your child in elementary, high school, or post-secondary education and struggling with anxiety or depression? Is your child feeling socially anxious or experiencing difficulty separating from their digital devices?

My interest in stories led me to social work: as I worked in the community, I learned the power of personal narratives to limit or expand the opportunities that my clients chose to pursue. I am particularly passionate about working with people experiencing life transitions. Transition periods can come at all stages of life. They can include a new diagnosis, the loss of employment, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the start of a new career, recovery after illness, or a faith crisis.
