Having the same old argument with your partner that never gets resolved? Men are you wrestling with down and persistent sad thoughts which keeps you up at night, and can't focus at work during the day?

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling. We all have our struggles and sometimes talking with someone in a safe, supportive and confidential environment can help to see things differently, develop new skills to put toward problems, and create new meaning about your own personal story. The most important factor in the therapeutic relationship, as in any relationship, is feeling safe and understood. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and open space in which to deepen your self-awareness and reach your goals.

You may be struggling with a lot of change and transition and/or STRESS in your life. You are not clear about what to do next.

Or, you may be ready to work through issues from the past that continue to trouble you today.

I believe in gaining an understanding of where you are in an effort to help you get where you'd like to be. I believe that growth and change are possible with time, effort, and commitment. I am comfortable working with a variety of emotional and behavioural challenges and look forward to helping you reach your goals. I view counselling as an interactive and collaborative process that is based on your individual needs. I work with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, OCD, relationship issues, life transitions, and Post Traumatic Stress.

We can all benefit from taking the time to reflect on our lives in the presence of a neutral therapist. When people encounter a crisis or a challenging situation, it can provide an opportunity for the development of the self. Change is possible. Therapy can provide an avenue to identify and interrupt old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that are keeping one stuck. It provides an opportunity to reflect on one's life vs. automatically responding. In this process, a person is able to see things in a new light and identify different options for dealing with old problems.

You likely may "feel stuck", which is why you are considering counselling. It takes self-awareness to reach out and courage to make the call. I recognize these qualities and because of this, I am passionate about empowering individuals and couples to move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered. I believe the key to well-being is learning how to be your authentic self-- with balance. In "Individual counselling", you can expect unwavering acceptance. In "couples counselling," you can expect an impartial mediator. I also offer Pet grief counselling. Learn how to move from "Feeling Stuck" to "Feeling Empowered."

I provide a non-judgmental, confidential, responsive space to process, gain insight, knowledge and strategies, and work towards resolution. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, with elements of Narrative Therapy, CBT, EFT, etc., I primarily work through the exploration of relationship dynamics and patterns, addressing attachment wounds, and using a focus on emotions and cognition. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with your relationships, or are not getting along with a family member or co-worker, are feeling alone or stressed? Compassion and empathy based, I encourage self-compassion, self-acceptance and authentic self-expression.

Life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling helpless and alone. It is not easy to find your way forward. Recreating yourself in a way that embraces who you are and where you've been, to empower you to move towards a life you may envision, is not simple but it can be done. My goal is to help you find this path. Whether faced with a lifetime of challenges, or impacted by a single traumatic event, I bring empathy, warmth, compassion and understanding to the relationship. From that place of safety, I will support you to find the road to acceptance, healing, and peace of mind.
