All of us have an innate pull toward a healthier, happier way of being. Even beliefs, feelings, or behaviours that seem unhealthy can make sense—and can change—when explored with a compassionate, well‑trained professional. For 25 years, I’ve assisted adults, couples, youth, children, and families in finding effective ways to meet life’s challenges. We can heal at the broken places, discover our strengths, and meet our flaws with grace to create resilience. My passion is helping people grow through adversity, move beyond just surviving, and discover that life can feel joyful.
We offer effective treatment for depression, stress, grief, anger, ADHD, PTSD, complex trauma, and anxiety based issues. Other areas of specialty include working with first responders and couples. Clinical supervision services for psychotherapists, qualifying psychotherapists, and Couple and Family Therapy are also offered.
It takes courage and energy to reach out for assistance. We respond to every inquiry and offer a free 20 minute phone or online consultation to help determine if our services are a good fit for your needs. We offer animal assisted therapy for in person sessions and can accommodate both in person and online therapy requirements.

I have a passion for assisting first responders and veterans to recover from trauma. My job is to help you develop ways to feel emotionally stable in the present, reprocess the traumatic events to help make sense of them, rediscover the best parts of yourself, reconnect with your sense of self, strengthen your ability to connect to others, and build a meaningful and emotionally rewarding future.

I draw on extensive training across a number of evidence based approaches to develop the best plan for your unique needs. For example, if you are seeking assistance with anxiety an effective solution may include CBT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Additionally, we may work on better understanding how to use anxiety as part of an overall healthy sensory and emotional guidance system.
