The cornerstone of counselling success is a strong therapeutic relationship. This starts by creating a welcoming, collaborative, and safe space where you can comfortably be yourself. I enjoy helping mid-life adults (30-65) experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, life transitions, stress (work, family life, personal), and grief & loss. Whether your concerns feel big or small, I work to access your inherent strengths. Throughout your counselling journey, I empower you to make self-discoveries, gain new skills & insights, and work through difficulties in an effort to lessen distress and live a more meaningful life.
My approach is integrative and thoughtful in nature. While I am anchored in a strength-based, client-centred orientation, I actively draw upon concepts from several evidence-based approaches (CBT, ACT, DBT, & narrative therapy) to create a tailored counselling experience. When relevant, I weave in psychoeducation, resources, tools, and strategies.
I understand life can be challenging. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even lost. I help individuals explore their stressors, work through their challenges, and find meaningful change. Whatever your concerns or goals may be, I welcome an initial phone conversation to discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, and to learn more about how I can help.
