- -Accepting New Clients- - Starting counselling can be an intimidating process. My priority is to make this experience less overwhelming by being transparent about the process, helping you identify the challenges you're currently facing, making goals, and creating a plan for change that you are comfortable with. I have a special interest in working with perinatal clients who are trying to conceive, experiencing pregnancy and going through the major life changes of the post postpartum period. However, I am happy to help anyone going through life challenges. You do not need to be in the perinatal period to benefit from my support.

The tightness in your chest, knots in your stomach and the stories your mind tells you have been getting out of hand lately. Your efforts to control your anxiety haven’t been working the way you’d like, and you’re left feeling like you just want to run away. Fear of making mistakes, saying the wrong thing, hesitating to take on new challenges, and the discomfort of feeling out of place have become too much. Common sense methods like trying to be rational or think positively only make it worse. Anxiety is holding you back from being the person you wish to be.

As a therapist, I help clients whose moods hijack their lives & negatively impact their relationships, career and body. If you experience overwhelming emotions that stick around too long, have imbalanced thinking, cope poorly with your emotions & stress, have unstable/unhealthy relationships, low self esteem and an unstable sense of self, I can help. As a coach, I work with women bosses who despite all their success have one area of their lives where they feel they have lost their way, lost control, and lost touch with their true selves and their inner knowing (coaching fees are $ 200/60 minute session, therapy $ 170/60 minute).

I typically work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship problems. I often hear from clients that they need time and space to freely express and explore their thoughts and feelings with someone who holds an outsider's perspective and is also understanding, nonjudgmental, authentic, and offers expertise in the issues the client is bringing to the table. I can provide this space to help sort out your thoughts in order to find the empowerment and insight within.

Welcome! Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. Over the past 14 years I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships or with your feelings? We all experience challenges at times and have normal periods of ups and downs. The difficulty is when we feel stuck – either in a particular mood state (such as depression or anxiety), in our reactions to triggers, or in our relationships. I approach counselling as a creative and collaborative process to tap into your innate wisdom, access your inner resources, and develop healthy coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment. I will see your strengths as well as your struggles. My goal is to guide you as you discover the path that is best for you.
