Our world is so complex. People are trying to navigate a world that is ever changing and constantly challenging. Maybe you are trying to fit in and feel appreciated. Or maybe you wonder how to find a moment to be alone and feel at peace. Maybe the last thing you want to do is be alone. Or maybe you feel disconnected and that no matter how hard you try, you just aren't able to connect with the people who are most important to you. These are all different outcomes that result when you don't feel emotionally safe and secure, attached, and valued in this chaotic world. When you are ready to change these outcomes, I am here to help.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and that it should be accessible to all. Starting counselling can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming, and that is okay. At Art of Thriving I seek to create space where we can go on a journey together towards building a stronger relationship with yourself and building towards your goals. I don't believe that there is only one form of therapy that works for everyone. What I seek to do is learn from you, and create an approach around the unique individual that you are. You are the expert of your own reality, and I am here to just assist you in your journey.

Hey… I’m really glad you’re here! I know how exhausting and overwhelming it can be scrolling through profile after profile, trying to figure out who might be the right fit for you. It’s a lot, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I can help you take the next step. A lot of the people I work with are used to holding it together. On the outside, things look fine, but internally there’s anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.

It’s not you—it’s the impossible standards. The pressure to hold everything together takes a toll, and we end up feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and checked-out. We tell ourselves "it’s fine” but resentment builds. You’re not failing—you’re doing your best in a system that asks too much. Between sleepless nights, advice you didn't ask for, and the quiet pressure to hold it all together, it’s easy to lose yourself in the mix of motherhood. I help parents who are stretched too thin, battling guilt, overwhelm, and constant second-guessing. Together, we'll lower the bar to something human and help you feel like you again.

As an RP (Qualifying) I am interested in helping individuals navigate the complexities of being a human in their own individual experiences holding a sacred and respectful space for all that arises while working together. I firmly believe that every person is shaped by their environment and that everyone enters this world with a unique purpose and inherently good intentions. It is through the human condition that trauma arises by way of experiences which can sometimes lead people away from their path of self-actualization. In each session clients are reminded of whole self, to guide them on their journey to acceptance and healing.

You’ve carried a heavy load for a long time—holding it together, pushing through pain, staying strong even when you feel like you’re falling apart inside. No matter what you do, it never feels “enough.” You second-guess yourself, replay conversations in your head, and sometimes wonder if you’re the problem. The people around you might not even notice how much you’re struggling because you’ve become so good at hiding it. Inside, though, it feels heavy—like you’re stuck in a loop of self-criticism, sadness, or emptiness that you just can’t shake.

My therapy practice is a combination of Trauma informed practice, DBT, CBT, EFT, Gottman Couples Therapy ( Levels 1 & 2), and Prepare-Enrich Facilitator for pre- marital and marital counseling.
Events happen in our lives at times and we seem not to be able to get around it or even understand it. Many times, we don’t even seem to know our ways through it. Outside we appear to have everything all together but deep within, we are hurting, frustrated, overwhelmed and even seen unsure about how to move forward. Deep within you know that these events have had negative impact on you and even the way you think. You are wondering where and how to get the needed help and tools to walk you through. You are at a point where you are feeling stuck and seems like there is no way out. I want to let you know that there is treasure in you

I have worked with clients who are experiencing just that and got to a place of more clarity and feeling more sure of themselves through therapy. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can bring your whole self, thoughts, emotions, and body, into the room. Together, we’ll explore patterns that no longer serve you, build coping strategies, and reconnect you with your inner strengths.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
