You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward? You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you. Imagine waking up every day feeling in control of whatever might come your way; knowing that you have the internal strength to deal with and manage it. Imagine being the best version of YOU.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Your recent loss might leave you feeling depressed, guilty, or frightened. The loss of your work or career can have you feeling humiliated, or worthless. Adults who have lost a loved one can experience these emotions and more. Estrangement from family or friends can leave you alone and discouraged. Disruptions at work can have you questioning your value and feel isolated or marginalized. Relationship issues can negatively affect many aspects of your life. You want someone to listen to you.

***Currently offering Phone and Online Video sessions. If you are a Front Line Worker go to https://covid19therapists.com/ for Free Therapy over the Phone.*** When we feel overwhelmed, resentful, anxious, or unhappy, our emotions are telling us that something isn't right. Usually that is because we have started making decisions that are intended to protect us from feeling pain that we have felt before, pain that was too much too bare. When we discover what these patterns in our behaviour or relationships are, and what the pain or fear is that is underneath them, it can open up space for joy, creativity, and peace.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a negative loop? Continuously going in circles and trying to find a way out? Painful experiences can make us feel stuck; living life as a version of yourself that you no longer recognize. These experiences are overwhelming and do not always make sense. Feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, guilt, and shame can sometimes leave us feeling hopeless; like there is no way to return to the life you once knew. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns in hopes things will improve. Please know, you are not alone in feeling this way, and change is possible.
