As a clinical Social Worker, I provide a safe space for individuals to open up about their challenges, utilizing a variety of therapeutic strategies and interventions to help elevate people's lives so they can have better opportunities to live an authentic and fulfilling life. My lived experiences are incorporated into my clinical work to support others in connecting “head to heart” in challenging and dismantling the many social constructs people often feel they need to uphold. As you begin to lean into the vulnerability of speaking your truth, the awakening journey begins.

Accepting NEW Clients - Do you feel “stuck” in your day-to-day life or unsure how to move forward in a way that makes you feel fulfilled? Are you interested in learning more about how your childhood impacts you as an adult? Does it feel like your past experiences are weighing on you, and your sense of self is foggy or unclear? Are you interested in exploring different perspectives or figuring out who you’d like to move forward as? Together we can look at the steps that have brought you to this point, and increase self-awareness, emotional stability, and insight into your experiences.

I know. It's a wild world we live in. There are so many things unknown and so many challenges from your past that might be surfacing. I'm not going to say that I have a clue what you are going through, because I don't. But what I do know is that the practitioners at SoulScape Services offer services that have helped people shift through intense anxiety and pain and if you are reading this, chances are that you are looking for some relief and a place to call home. If you are looking to find meaning, purpose, and to feel well again, Soulscape is a community of practitioners that treat your wellness from a whole-person perspective.

I believe in each person’s capacity for healing and I endeavor to meet you from a place of curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I work with individuals to process and peacefully resolve past trauma, manage present anxieties, and effectively cope with stressors to engage more fully in their lives.

Even though your life looks good from the outside, something just doesn’t feel right. No matter how much you accomplish, you continue to feel guilty, small and like you’re not enough. When you think about it, you probably don't even know who "you" are or what you enjoy anymore. Maybe you never really did know. It may feel as though stress has taken over your life. Work is no longer fulfilling, your home life & relationships are suffering and you feel defeated at the end of the day. All of this leaves you feeling overwhelmed, down and confused, and you're not sure how to move forward.

Taking the leap to meet with a new therapist can feel incredibly vulnerable and overwhelming. This is totally normal, and we can take everything at your pace! I prioritize providing a warm, welcoming space where you can connect authentically and feel supported. We will work together to explore your past experiences and develop a deeper understanding of how they are impacting you today. Using an eclectic therapeutic approach, we will highlight your strengths, identify areas for growth, discover new insights, and develop a treatment plan that works for your life, so that you can make the changes you want to see.

In my 40 year career as a clinical social worker, I have gained extensive experience in developing, effecting, and managing therapeutic approaches for individuals and families who bear the damage of sexual abuse. I am prepared to offer help for many problem areas but I give special emphasis to male and female adults and youth who have committed, or are at risk of committing, or have been the victim of problematic sexual behaviour, This includes clients with special needs such as intellectual disability. I also support families with safety planning for child protection cases or with family resolution/reintegration.

I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy in some way. Whether it be managing stress from work, navigating relationship issues or simply trying to better your wellbeing there is something to be gained by doing the work. Our lives are made up of stories that have been told to us and about us since birth and my goal is to help you uncover your true self amidst these stories

Are you working so hard in every aspect of your life only to feel like things still aren’t good enough? Like your relationships are destined for failure, you’ll never be able to cope with the curveballs life throws at you, and there’s something inside yourself that just feels… wrong? Maybe you've convinced yourself that if it just looks like you have the perfect career, relationship, and family, that somehow it will become your reality. I’ve been down this same road, and what I eventually realized was that, when I spent all my time focused on being "better" or achieving more, I lost sight of myself and those who mattered most to me.

Daytime appointments available - When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a value-driven life. Sometimes we are feeling alright, but we aren't where we want to be. Having dedicated time and space to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.
