My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and adapting to what life throws at us can be difficult, isolating, confusing, and painful.

I have observed that the patients I care for struggle with the very things that make us human, namely difficult thoughts, feelings, outlooks, and beliefs about themselves and the world. These often lead to inner conflicts that rob us of the peace, contentment and satisfying lives most of us desire. As a fellow traveler, I have found that most of us want to feel comfortable in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, lead purposeful, meaningful lives and able to handle challenges with resiliency, courage and effectiveness. While this can seem elusive in an increasingly complex and accelerating world, a path forward exists.
