"From a young age, I was always interested in the why of things. Whenever I was told that, "things could be worse", I was never satisfied and always remember thinking that there must be a better or different way of handling things. In my life, I have encountered many challenging times and tried to handle things the best I could. As a result, I decided to do my own work and in turn was inspired to help others. Today, I am fortunate enough to do the work I do and am passionate about helping others to make changes in their lives."

"Personal, family, and work-related problems are a normal part of the human struggle. Sometimes however, problems get too overwhelming and difficult to handle alone. This is the time to call me and explore effective ways to solve these problems. I will listen and help you navigate your way out of this state of being stuck and foster a sense of self-confidence and self-mastery. You will gain insight, understanding and resilience to cope more effectively in the future...AND feel more self confident and optimistic."

"What I find most enriching in my profession is the connection I create with people. I am grateful to be working with a diverse population.

Regardless if your struggle is with depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, or trauma, clarity means a better awareness and sense of who you are. Knowing yourself allows you to make better choices, choices best for you. It can be challenging to detangle and work through all the many and conflicting messages we receive, and give ourselves, but it is crucial. This is the work I will support and guide you in."

"While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it."

"We help many children, teens, adults, couples and families. It is very important that everyone feels comfortable whenever they meet with us and this is a priority for us. We also ensure we have clear goals for our work together and move as quickly as possible towards these goals. When people leave our centre, they have clear tips and tools to use to maintain the benefits they have gained. The primary treatment we provide for individuals is Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT). With couples, we use EFT. With some children we include play therapy. With all clients, we also use other styles to assist as necessary."

"Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, sad or disconnected? Are you struggling with relationships, past difficulties or trauma, or with coping with something new?

Take this opportunity to explore/share emotions, heal traumas, find compassion for yourself and others, as well as develop new coping strategies. For couples, I will guide you in heartfelt conversations to build and reconnect. Discover how you can experience a life and relationships based on your own strengths, choices and values."

"As human beings we are wired for relationships so when there's a disconnect from a loved one, your place of work and/or from your true self it's not uncommon for you to feel hopeless as you attempt to differentiate between the negative mind chatter, that weakens your perspective, and your own truth."
