Seeking help is not a weakness, it is a sign of strength and courage - and it's smart. I know. I've done and continue to do it....and it has changed me for the better. It has helped me metabolize life, to navigate pain, and heal from trauma. To "re·solve" means: settle or find an answer or solution; to rectify; sort out; or deal with; decide firmly on a course of action; determine or make a commitment to do something; separate into components; dissolve or disintegrate; reduce or divide; analyze, dissect, categorize; disperse; subside or heal; to move from dissonance to consonance or harmony; to be changed or transformed.
I have assisted clients professionally for 20 years and am passionate about helping people recognize their strength and capacity for growth, and find meaning in their circumstances. People have affirmed that I have a unique ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life, ages, and cultures.
I have experience in life and professionally. Many people respond to my ability to make people feel comfortable, safe and at ease. Being non-judgmental, open, and committed to authenticity are qualities that I bring to the counselling process. I practice with genuine gentleness, compassion, acceptance, curiosity, creativity, and sense of humour.

As a late diagnosed ADHD woman and who's family is all neurospicy, this is an area of specialty for me, along with anxiety, depression, and grief. After an intake and assessment, we co-create a treatment plan based on your goals/direction you want. This is your journey, and I am here to support you in it. I like to rule out any underlying conditions and get a holistic picture of you and your life.
