Are you feeling weighed down by the pain of loss or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing the confusion that arises when life doesn’t go as planned.

Whether you have been through a life changing experience that you need to work through, or you simply feel that your quality of life could be just a little bit better, I possess a variety of ways to support you. You may need your grief to be witnessed, support recovering from a depression relapse, or help with difficult memories. If you are part of the human race, you also have an inner critic that can take over. I am passionate about supporting clients healing after trauma and grief in particular. Emotions are a part of daily life; we can learn how to respond to them in ways that stop us from going off track from our true values.

My approach is grounded in empathy, acceptance, authenticity, and often humour. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I work with you to facilitate change and cultivate meaning in your life.

Change can be uncomfortable and frightening. I celebrate your strength to lean into that discomfort on your healing journey.

Life after trauma can be hard. Really really hard. You never quite go back to feeling like yourself. You experience the world differently- people, places and things can trigger feelings of unsafety.

Not All Wounds Are Visible… For centuries individuals who struggled with their mental health often suffered in silence. Today, mental health has been inching it's way into the forefront of public health concerns. This much needed element of openness has allowed for individuals to feel more at ease in seeking help when life becomes difficult to navigate.

I have listened intently to those who have lived through unimaginable abuse.

Life is full of challenges, and some are more manageable than others. You may be feeling overwhelmed by an issue that you can identify but have no idea how to tackle. Alternatively, you may be discontented or anxious with no idea why; you just know something isn't right. You may even be wondering if it's "all in your head." No matter how you feel or what you're struggling with, it is possible to get yourself back on track and begin to enjoy life again. The power to change is within you.

Symptoms of anxiety, depression, loss , grief , big life changes, burn-out and mood disorders can be relieved greatly through emotional exploration, mindfulness techniques, and self-compassion. My approach is based on the belief that a deeper understanding of ‘self’ ultimately instills a stronger sense of peace and health in our day to day lives. Honing our natural ability to self-regulate and heal often begins with naming our struggles and traumas in the presence of a supportive other. From here we gain greater clarity on how to take care of ourselves, create boundaries and self-care patterns that instigate lasting change.
