The first steps to the desired change can be intimating and difficult. Your choice to seek help is a brave decision that I genuinely appreciate.

I'm willing to work with you from where you are to a place of strength, confidence, and hope. I believe you have potentials, and I look forward to patiently working with you to unfold your inner beauty.

Are you feeling tired or sick of feeling sick and tired? From struggles with parenting, relationships and all of the other challenges life can throw our way, you may feel stuck- not sure what to do or where to turn. It’s time for a fresh start and a new beginning. With support, your teen can learn new ways to cope -and you can develop confidence in your parenting. Perhaps you want to improve your relationship with your partner . Or you’re longing for more energy and joy in your life. At Genesis Counselling, I provide services to teens, adults, couples , and families that address the whole person-mind, body, and spirit.

Intense emotions can pull you into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed and lost. It is difficult to face life when you are walking around with a heavy chest or feeling anxious. It is likely that you were never taught how to cope with how you feel or understand why a part of you feels empty inside. It can feel uncomfortable to turn to friends and family, fearing how they may react. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, where you can feel heard as you work through difficult emotions. I can provide you with the insight, tools and support you need to bring about healing so that you can approach life in a new way.

Have you ever experienced periods in your life where you are so troubled by stress, anxiety relationship difficulties, and/or depressed mood but is uncertain who to turn to talk about the issues in fear that you'll be misunderstood or that others simply just won't get what you're going through?

Does life feel controlled by your emotions? Maybe it’s as anxiety: feeling so overwhelmed by stress, worry, or racing thoughts that it feels impossible to slow down. Perhaps you no longer feel the energy or motivation you used to—it’s a struggle to even get out of bed (if you slept at at all). You’re noticing the ways experiences from your past are playing out in your relationships, but don’t know how to change it. It’s like you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Things used to be different, and you want to get back to the kind of life you know is possible. You just need some support to get there.

As well, I have years of experience providing psychosocial assessment and supportive counselling to youth through child focused mentorship services.

As a therapist, it is not my place to pass judgment but rather support clients on their journey to understanding how deeply their experiences have impacted their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This path is not easy nor linear, but it is best traversed with the guidance of an unbiased and empathetic professional by one’s side in a safe therapeutic space. I value empowering and motivating others to meet their goals as I demonstrate the acceptance, genuineness, congruent and unconditional positive regard that I believe they are capable of showing themselves.

Do you have anxiety about your pregnancy or stress about raising your child that affects your mental health? You are not alone! Pregnancy is meant to be a happy time of our lives - a new milestone and a new beginning; however, for many, it can also be a trigger of past negative experiences and be quite challenging at times. It is overwhelming trying to deal with stress and anxiety while you are pregnant. It feels like you have tried everything but things are still not getting better. Although stress is a natural response to challenges, it can take its toll on your mental health when it persists for too long.

You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward?

Do you experience anxiety, grief, depression, interpersonal relationship issues, or a general feeling of unease or unhappiness with no discernible cause.
